In a really bad state

Pros

Well known overseas. But not always well regarded. Some interesting products or services but nothing really new or "smart". Some of them are even "broken".

Cons

China Senior management is really bad. They believe that unless you worked in BASES you are useless. Unfortunately, some of the most useless people have a long history in BASES, some others just recently involved in BASES. They sound OK but really are very small - in every way - except their mouths.

Pros

For a person coming in at the entry level, it can be a great leaning experience if you will to put up with the politics and some long hours.

Cons

With the company currently owned by private equity, management is more focus on staff cutting then they are on what the end results of the staff cuts will be. The cuts in staffing will make the numbers look good in the short run but they are lossing some good talent in the process which will effect the company down the road.
