Pros

People who work here are commandos, and you will get toughened up.

Cons

Your personal life will suffer, with travel often required to China, late hours over-performing (which is the norm), etc.

Advice to Management

Build better connections between China-based and US-based businesses. With the upcoming Trump presidency, this is going to bite you if you don't prepare.
