Pros

Major industry player, decent campus, relatively flexible hours, pay was good.

Cons

The Global marketing department can't keep global talent to save it's life. Major churn, no interest in building employee skills, investing in employees. Asked for help with Chinese after being offered a promotion, was told "try listening to podcasts". No English onboarding or contract, no help off boarding (even after they begged me to stay and offered 6 month return no questions asked), useless HR. Lots of guanxi hires, minimal to nonexistent female leadership (dept head once casually said to another male colleague, in front of another female manager "women don't know how to do business", also yelled at female head of a team in front of entire office. she quit on the spot), something like 6 foriegners in the entire 200+ dept (half of whom are actively job seeking for post bonus season). Abused org survey tied to compensation, you are expected to lie. Management will pull you aside if you say any bad (read: honest) about your team or dept. When 1/3 of my team (8/24 people) quit or transfered in less than 2 months, management was confused about why they couldn't retain talent/keep people happy and how they didn't see it coming.

Pros

Quite a good number of knowledgeable people.

Cons

HR department is pathetic except for a few HRs. Resigned because of low salary, but the HR forcefully changed the reason of the resignation to some random stuff. Few HRs are detectives and they question you about the places you visit after office hours in 1 to 1 meetings.

Pros

You have perks like food and travel Some people genuinely fun and more importantly good at what they do so you have a lot to learn

Cons

Xiaomi is truly the most atrociously inconsiderate place I have ever worked in. Now just to be fair its dependent on the team you work in and of course it helps if you joined the company a million years ago. About those people who joined a million years ago, they refuse to embrace any change or suggestions and are completely comfortable in their elevated thrones to do anything different. If you do join, note that they will flout their name and hence justify not paying you enough. Say goodbye to having a personal life because you have to be at the beck and call of your overlords. Everything and I mean everything is in Chinese control and the illusion of you doing work that actually matters is ridiculous. You can work harder than any given person and your hopes of being rewarded will be promptly squashed owing to stupid HR policies, an undeveloped and I mean undeveloped not underdeveloped rating system and the cherry on top office politics.
