Pros

Descent pay but it is a tactic to trap naive fresh grads. If you like to play game, this is the place for you.

Cons

Not a place for people looking to grow their career in an innovative culture. Favorites within management, toxic workplace. The staff are not working, they are very free, they gossip in office at all time and make plan how to target a new/old junior to take blame and make them overload, all the staff care is how to take all the credits. If you are not a member of the crowd, you will get bully. They also hired new engineer under a staff who is not clear how the system works and not giving training to the fresh grad engineer. The environment is very china military style, no transparency, no discussion, only top to bottom follow ordering and always having never-ending restructuring, they will simply replace you to a position without discussion not based on your experience or skills but the headcount, they are ruin the employee's career, that's why this cloud department was like a station, many new/old people in and out, weak technical backend support and no training, women and minorities blatantly harassed and demeaned. the staff are liars, love to make empty promise to junior, once the junior hit it, they take away all the credits . Incompetent and unprofessional HR team, no credibility at all. Local line manager are incompetent and unsupportive, regardless of their nation.

Pros

Good name on the CV

Cons

No phone given, all products used are not huawei products (they dont want to pay for this) laptops, phones etc all not huawei products used. Contractors are seen as 2nd class citizens and not given the same benefits as perm staff and its made very obvious Meetings will always move to being in Chinese and you could sit there for 40 mins not understanding a word and no one cares that english is supposed to be the official business language Chinese Culture is to laugh in your face when they disagree with you and its so hurtful and can really hurt confidence

Pros

- Lots of resources available nowadays to do projects with. - Generally longer term outlook than a lot of other companies. - Some very good and highly smart colleagues to work with. - The good managers will listen to the merits of competent technical arguments. - Solid pay and reasonable benefits. - If you work hard and get results that lead to good performance reviews, you will often be rewarded.

Cons

- Culture is very "Chinese". And the "wolf culture" can create an unfriendly and competitive atmosphere. - Non-fluency in Mandarin limits opportunities for growth and promotion, and separates you from the insiders. - Overtime is expected when necessary and work/life balance is not a priority. - Lack of trust from HQ, and lots of greyness and uncertainty in terms of feedback about progress and projects. - External geopolitical stuff is a distraction that can add pressure to the work environment as well as outside social relationships with non-ex-pats. - Bureaucratic systems can be confusing to navigate and understand.
