Full Time at CAAS USA - Anonymous employee China Automotive Systems Employee Review

Empowered to make executive decisions and be assertive; on The Job Training (OJT) is priceless, but can be painful; learn to see further down life/career paths due to first-hand experience.

With executive decisions come executive responsibilities; if you choose to do it (whatever it is), you accept the responsibility for doing it, no excuses; sometimes making the right decisions or connections (e.g., with the right people) can be challenging, frustrating and exhausting!

Onsite work required on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. (might have changed according to the major OEM's working pattern) When there's no meeting with customer/management/design team in China, you are free.

Low base salary; health insurance not covered (have to buy health insurance from the market and then get reimbursed for a small portion); no 401k unless you win the H1B lottery. The CAAS North American site rarely deals with technical things; it's just a liaison between design/manufacturing team in china and OEMs. Plenty of meetings in early mornings (7am) and late night (11pm).
