Pros

you can say you're employed.

Cons

1) Chinese company. 2) If you're Asian you're amazing, if you're white you're alright. All others are not valued, over worked, and verbally abused. 3) No upward mobility especially if your a person of color. 4) Lied about RSUs for those that started with the company on the US side of the house. 5) must get everything in writing because they'll lie to you. 6) No cost of living adjustment. 7) Merit increases are below 2.5%. 8) Want Directors and Managers to hand out B's and C's during employee performance evaluation. Grading scale goes S,A,B,C,D. They deliberately want you to fail so they don't have to pay you. C's get pip'd. There's a quota that needs to be met when it comes to C's and D's. Even if you do your job as asked there is a chance you'll get a C. That means no merit increase and 1/3 of your bonus if lucky. 9) waste money on big building, won't hire more resources, but will complain office is empty. 10) Buildings only have 1 bathroom for 40+ employees. 11) No hybrid for US employees. Reason being this is a Chinese company and China works 9,9,6 format. They don't want US teams to work a 9-5 schedule or work remote. 12) 9 days paid vacation instead of standard 2 weeks. China gets 3 weeks vacation... Funny how that works. 13) Will not invest in adequate resources to do your job. Will be asked to do your job with bubble gum and spit. 14) You're better off being an influencer that will advertise for SHEIN. You'll get more benefits. 15) Micro-manage you. Track all your movements. When you came into office, when you left, how long computer was open, etc.

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
