Pros

Comprehensive benefits package, including generous medical, dental, and flexible options.

Coverage extends to dependents for both dental and medical plans.

Flexible benefits can also be used to cover personal insurance.

Cons

Challenging workplace culture with strong elements of favoritism.

Lack of job security, as decisions can be influenced by personal relationships with top management, regardless of performance or dedication.

Unfair and arbitrary performance review process conducted every six months or less, where evaluations often depend more on personal connections than actual achievements.

Top management (from Mainland China) struggles with poor English and communication skills, often resorting to raising their voice at colleagues who express concerns during meetings.

Advice to Management

You might as well focus solely on hiring Chinese nationals instead of maintaining the facade of being an international tech company, especially given the pervasive culture of favoritism that undermines fairness and inclusivity.
