Pros

Nice office and good location

Cons

1) Seems glorifying from the outside but is in fact a Chinese-first company on the inside. System and communication all prioritizes Chinese-speaking and if you can’t speak in Chinese you will get swept aside and be deprioritized. Structure and company direction is also unclear, perhaps lost from translation? Everything is just a mess. 2) Toxic, unprofessional culture passed down from top management. Seems like most Chinese managers are young and have no real experience managing people. That’s why turnover rate is extremely high. Management is extremely calculative to the single cent and unable to give direction to team, resulting in auto-pilot mode. 3) No career progression in this company and salary increments are not competitive to other industrial players. Especially for junior employees who tend to get the short end of the stick.

Pros

The company was growing pretty fast and had a startup like pace, until the tariffs happened. SHEIN’s pace slowed down a lot and the company pivoted to cost optimization

Cons

1) company’s leadership, especially the US leadership lacks vision and creates a toxic work culture by constantly belittling people in open and yelling at them. 2) the small group of top leaders almost behave like high school bullies colluding with each other 3) you’ll struggle to survive, let alone succeed, if you don’t speak Chinese. 4) Sheins compensation is significantly below industry peers 5) Daily late night calls with the China team mean a non existent work life balance. You are expected to be available at all times, including late night and weekends
