      Overall Value Is Fine, which Isn't True in China

      Senior applications engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company's core value at headquarters is not only eloquent, but also practical and realistic, and taken by so many employees working over there. Plus, the product is heavenly brilliant.

      Cons

      And yet, the core value and corporate culture seem not to be disseminated very well around the world, at least in China. The management is China is bureaucratic, chaotic, and unfair, which has been arousing increasing dissatisfaction of many employees.

      Okay for 3 years, but not worth all the stress and long hours

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Free fruit every morning (bananas, apples, oranges, pears, kiwi fruit, etc.) - Excellent breakfast buffet on Wednesday mornings - Lots of free beverages - High density of geeks and nerds - Plenty of challenging projects to work on

      Cons

      - No telecommuting allowed - Below average salaries for a software company - If you're in software development, half the product teams (all Simulink-based products) are under extreme high stress all the time. If you don't want to be stressed out of your mind, stay far away from that side of development. The other side of the company (MATLAB-based stuff) is full of easygoing laidback people who have little or no stress at all. - People who shouldn't be managers or team leads get promoted to those positions just because they've been around the longest and no one else wants to lead. Good developers are often poor managers. The search for a good manager is basically impossible in development. - "Application Support Engineer" is nothing more than a fancy title for "Tech Support Grunt". If you enter the company as an "Application Support Engineer", be prepared to get yelled at by angry customers every week. Accept the fact that you've been hired as cheap labor to put up with pissed off people.

      A good place to work... If you're a developer

      Pros

      Good benefits, smart people, nice facility to work in.

      Cons

      Some long tenured managers can stunt your potential for growth and recognition. Pay is subpar, bonuses are a diversion.
