Pros

They pay well - seriously that is the only pro.

Cons

This is probably one of the worst companies to work for. They treated us poorly, shouted, and had unrealistic demands. Processes were seriously complex with many layers of approvals. It took sometimes months to get an offer approved.

Pros

Good annual bonuses. Customers security is #1 priority even at the cost of being counter productive. You get to learn about Chinese culture.

Cons

The management philosophy is keep China happy at all cost or there will be severe punishment. Very dictatorship mentality. Workers are treated as objects and under appreciated. They would never survive having a Tier 1 customer like AT&T.

Pros

The team I was on was open to learning new things. It was a decent place to work - though with caveats described below. Another item: in my experience the work/life balance was good. That may be dependent on particular department/manager.

Cons

The team lead and management were concerned about work and ideas being "borrowed" by China headquarters staff. The ideas developed here would end up in central HQ slides without attribution. Over the entire period we did not receive any use-case data or algorithms from Business Units in China for whom we supposedly are partners. They keep it to themselves - even when senior management directs them to do otherwise. We also did not have proper computer equipment to do our jobs. This led to poor results and (justifiable) lower acceptance of our work by the industry.
