Pros

They will offer a good starting pay.

Cons

Typical Chinese culture, no work balance. Paranoid company where you cant even connect a thumb drive to the laptop without approval. Very political. No proper visa when working overseas, unless something bad happens. Stupid pointless exams. No proper job scope. Be prepared to use your own vehicle to fetch China staff or even to do drive tests. Unprofessional management who only care about theirselves. No career advancement, unless ur into politics.

Pros

US based workers, more specifically, the Americans. They make your life easier, they want the best for the company and its workers. Average benefits, salary can be average as well.

Cons

Most, if not all, senior managers in the company are Chinese. Not enough American workers, engineers, Program Managers. Nice people, but after more than 10 years operating in the US, one would expect an almost complete transition to local management, US nationals, or US born Chinese individuals. Even at non-business critical level, there is a strong presence of Chinese nationals. The culture shock slows growth. The lack of knowledge of local business practices hurts the company, they rely strongly on sub-contracting labor. High uncertainty, no job security if you're new to the game.

Pros

Relaxed work environment with autonomy.

Cons

If you are not a Chinese national this company is impossible to move up in. I was told I would not be eligible for a promotion because it was for Chinese nationals only.
