Pros

- Some nice and knowledgeable colleges - nice central located office

Cons

Unethical, unprofessional company, explointment of work laws until their maximum: -change your contract overnight, pressuring people to sign or quit -work on weekends, holidays, nights, shift rotations with weekly changes -Not a good pay check. Even the public sector in Germany pays better. -No work-life balance. Irresponsible management. Extremely unethical HR, -managers are spoiled kids with no people management experience, destroying 70% of the team, making rest of the employees to lose their motivation, -not face paced, just chaotic: decisions from HQ in China follow no logical structure, change overnight -“Changes take time” but suck it up: supervisor promote their friends and leak personal information -“We value every talent” There are no chances to change from jobs/promotion inside of the company. HR just straight lie about it. -HR do not lose any problem inside of the company. -The arrogant and inexperienced supervisor -Fire employees on sick leave, holidays, before crucial dead lines
