Pros
The the US team was EXCEPTIONALLY strong with lots of highly experience senior management and a good number of ex-Uber people. The team was highly collaborative and everyone was dedicated to the long term success of the US market. We made major in roads in a very short period of time with unicorn growth numbers quarter over quarter.
Cons
China. That's it. China. They are secretive and had zero trust in the US team, including it's leaders. They always assumed the US was trying to steal or cheat them somehow. Decision making to MONTHS on even the simplest of things and they required sometimes 8+ approvals for a 1k spend. Members of the China HQ were often abusive in tone and language and would out and out lie to us. They didn't pay vendors so individual employees were personally harassed and threatened by vendors that they would be sued. The way they did business was unscrupulous and dishonest at best. And the US team grew increasingly frustrated and disenchanted with HQ. In the end, they laid off the US leadership in favor of junior folks with no experience because they were Chinese and have childhood relationships with the CEO. Oh, and the Chinese app is now running propaganda for the Chinese Communist party. What's left are a handful of employees who are all looking for new jobs.
