Certain particular management sucks
Certain particular management sucks
Environment and colleagues: good and friendly. If you are the only Chinese person on the team, and your team lead and higher-ups are not, good luck. They won't give you more opportunities to learn.
Certain particular managers love to control all the power and can even override their superiors' statements, etc.
If you are a contractor under Adecco working in AMAT, always remember that you will only be there for 2 years, and then they will not renew your contract (provided you don't get to convert to full-time).
Never trust your manager when they say, "Oh, there are some contractors working for more than 2 years already." It is because they are trying to flat out deny or refuse to acknowledge.
If you appoint a subordinate a certain title, role, or responsibility, you better involve them in the discussion and implementation. Do not decide everything on your own and then throw it all to them.
Also, if you have a management position, you better go onsite daily to get to know more about what's going on the ground, and not sit at your office desk or attend meetings all the time, only coming down when something bad happens.
