Pros
those who joined during the China golden years did not have to contribute much to enjoy the extremely good benefits under past CEO leadership, though was more of a facade great staff sale good work life balance have barely seen anyone leave the office after 7pm used to have summer fridays and at least 1 day WFH generally decent and kind colleagues in marketing, depends on department culture
Cons
those who joined post COVID paid the price for the unwise investment decisions very weak marketing department because nobody has solid marketing experience due to relationship hiring/ promotions in the past, often promoting those with 0 experience into roles, especially if French extreme change in CEO leadership, from high investment to petty frugality (but makes sense for the business) business shrinking to nothing, inconsistent strategic leadership over the years, now left in shreds and can barely survive some politics but not ugly, primarily brutal only at the senior leadership level when there are power shifts HR has strangely high authority here and not in a good way
