Pros

NA. I don't have anything positive to say here.

Cons

Legally dubious representation of benefits and pay. 45% of stock vests will be immediately deducted and sold without employee consent.

Very toxic work culture for non-native Chinese employees. There is an utterly negative treatment of non-local Chinese employees across the board. The management of Microsoft China Suzhou is very toxic. Friends and family are hired over worthy candidates, and hiring questions are poorly designed.

Advice to Management

You have lost all of your foreign employees and have failed to take any steps to mitigate the number of issues there. This does not represent a diverse and supportive workforce.
