Pros

- Good career opportunities in senior management roles requiring more experience and contacts than in other similar companies within the industry. - Some autonomy locally and regionally, but still micro-managed by Chinese senior management. - Easy access to Chinese senior management, especially if you are meeting your targets and/or bringing value to the company. - Great opportunity to visit HQ in Shenzhen, PR China on various occasions, especially planned customer visits there. - Company, and thus, opportunities are always growing and available (short-term). - Great opportunity to see how Chinese technology firms work and operate.

Cons

- Loads of communications problems and issues. - Most of the senior management are Chinese expatriates - many with no experience. - Constantly micro-managed and second guessed (especially from HQ). - Everything is a "state" secret and information is hoarded by the few. - Business practices can verge on the unethical, and there is definitely a business cultural difference with Western business practices and business ethics. - There is no career advancement opportunities for non-Chinese staff above a certain level. - Salary is slightly below average - bonuses will always be lower than you expect (loads of fine print and other vague policies).
