It's not really an MNC

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Salary higher than the market average in the position.

Cons

Relatively, higher pay to buy your time. Long working hours and no work-life balance have become a label for the company. I accept OT, but most OT jobs after office hours and weekends are for those team meetings or training rather than solving the problem. You are expected to reply to the chat message or call at midnight and the weekend. It may be suitable for graduates but definitely is not good for a family man. Furthermore, it's a very hierarchical company. For example, the company combined regular and contractor employees. These discriminating treatments drive a wedge between teams. Even regular staff have different title rankings in the company. It calls it an MNC, but it doesn't. It seems has less autonomy in the local team. We always need to ask for the HQ team. What I don't like most is their so call military management. For example, if you reached the office late after 9 am, even 1 min. The attendance system will send an alert to you, and you must declare it to your manager and explain why you are late.

Pros

High technical standards, Great local people

Cons

1) Too many Expats from China taking wrong (sometimes border-line illegal) decisions; 2) Too much power given to the Chinese management who are unaware of the law of the country and/or have other priorities in mind (such as being promoted 10-fold by the time they return to China); 3) The Chinese management are not willing/able to challenge any decisions made in china; 4) Completely different way of running a company than anywhere else I have worked; 5) Very bad communication links; 6) and many more...

Diversity?

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to work if you like trying to solve complicated puzzles.

Cons

Patriarchal and old-style management, complete lack of diversity apart from favouritism toward ex-pats, intolerant of minorities and of those with disabilities, gender diversity almost non-existent.
