It's not as fun as it looks

Pros

- young & vibrant environment - strong consumer brand - your CV gains lots of tractions among recruiters - business outlook is positive

Cons

- Decision making is highly centralised. As a result, regional teams aren't enabled and empowered to take decisions on their own. China (HQ) needs to see, challenge and approve EVERYTHING. Trust is very hard to build with Chinese colleagues. - HR leadership is smart but unexperienced - The HR pillars underpinning compensation policies are weak and outdated, e.g. vague job architecture - You will be challenged by every angle of the company and it will be hard not to lose your patience and credibility in front of your stakeholders - Absence of a regional CHRO. HQ HR leadership doesn't have the skills to improve the situation and doesn't want to hire consultants to help - No use of emails. People expect that you answer on chat right away.

Pros

Benefits like private medical and dental insurance, gym memebership

Cons

- Micromanagement and constant harassment and critisim - Team leaders have 0 people skills - Poor training and unrealistic targets - Unethical HR departement, they did not investigate a claim for harassment for 3 months and finally, when I decided to leave as it became unbearable, they contacted me to ask me for more details about my complaint. A complete joke, honestly. - Whatever happens, it is always the moderator’s fault (moderators are called “community content management specialists”) - you are expected to meet hourly targets, not just daily, weekly etc.. If you watched less videos than you’re supposed to do for an hour ,your TL will message you and ask you to explain why you watched a smaller amount of videos - you need to work 3 weekends each month, sometimes 4 - holiday booking is almost impossible, you can book holiday only on specific days like Tuesdays and Wednesdays in November and February lol The rest of the dates are blocked. When you speak to your TL about that, they say there is low coverage and there is nothing they can do. Overall, a nightmare.

Pros

Benefits (wifi, gym) work from home (for now)

Cons

If you want somewhere that has good work life balance, don't work here. Everything is in another language and you're expected to translate everything yourself.
