      Pros

      Initial TC is pretty good if you don’t get lowballed

      Cons

      Language Barrier Chinese is the working language. If you don’t know it, be prepared to stare at auto translated captions during online meetings and pray that it understand the various accents. Good luck for in-person meetings. Don’t believe it if they say they’re transitioning to English, been hearing it for years with no progress. Lack of progression They’d rather bring people over from China than promote people here. Expect 0 guidance in this aspect. Then during performance reviews, they give everyone the same PC answers on why we don’t deserve promotions or increments.
