Pros

(If allowed to) You are working on titles beloved by many around the world.

Cons

It is a lot of lip service, without a lot of actual implementation, all to keep up with the impression that they are a global company when fundamentally they are still a Chinese company through and through. If you're not Chinese based in mainland China (or with specfiic experience), you can forget about being given projects that actually impacts the business, having management-level decision making opportunities, or even getting promoted. The team in China is fear of losing power, and will do everything they can to gatekeep critical information so they retain decision making power. Meetings are conducted in Chinese, and English is an afterthought - for example, to create the illusion of involvement, they may hold an English meeting for global members, but quickly chase them out so they can continue with the meeting in Chinese, which is much more in-depth and meaningful. There's zero incentive to change (the global president, is all but a figurehead), because they firmly believe their way of work is superior, and it is the Chinese team that made Genshin Impact successful. Forget about global concepts like DEI, work-life balance because there's none (just because they talk about it does not mean it is actually practiced.) Good luck engaging their whistleblowing team, because the Chinese-rootedness of the organization means that these guys are, at the end more worried about the retaliation they may face than to be impartial. Do yourself a a favor and look at their team members on LinkedIn and count the number of people they bring in from Chinese companies the likes of Tencent, Alibaba. Take note of how many people actually hold high-level executive power overseas. Do ample research and hold off that desire to join just because they have great game titles.
