Business Outlook

Pros

Gorgeous products, fair pay, low living costs, friendly good people. It's a comfortable place to work, with nice colleagues and generally a positive atmosphere and attitude, line managers seem to care about your development. Research teams generate some amazing tech

Cons

Boring area to live in. Rigid systems. Can feel large and unwieldy. As all larger companies, they can become slow to respond and change. There are many senior managers with less technical knowledge of new technology. For promotions, it's better to leave, then come back at a higher grade. Climbing the ladder can be slow

Business Outlook

Pros

The office is bright and large. Generally there are no doors between different departments, so it's easy to reach your destination (and your boss). I can always saw the chief executor walking besides me. A lot of employee-involved activities. Free working environment.

Cons

Sometimes have to work overtime. Payment for intern is tight, especially when you have to rent an apartment in Shanghai.
