Business Outlook

Pros

- If you find a sales position and hit your numbers consistently, the pay could actually be decent. Just don't expect a raise.

Cons

- There is absolutely no motivation to do anything beyond the bare minimum. - Leadership is atrocious. Communication is very poor. - Hiring is a joke. - Stock grants are laughably low. - The Chinese culture creates unnecessary bureaucracy for pretty much anything you want to do.
