- People drive 60 mph in the parking garage. I park in the corners near the stairs to avoid getting run over. - Managers are too afraid to make judgement calls and always ask their superiors, HR, etc. for what decision to make. - Managers are very annoying and will monitor almost everything you do. - Racism all around. People will stare at you - when you walk, when you eat. - Quiet and unfriendly office. It is more quiet than libraries, and people will look at you angrily if you speak. - Documents in Chinese and you are expected to understand all of them, you must find good translators. #tech

I am Chinese. I get you. Culture in the Chinese tech firms is an old headache. No sense of work and life boundaries, not respecting privacy, racism and gender profiling and the management don't think of it as an issue. Sadly it is spreading to the US. I came here to escape from it.

Lmao, that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
Didn't you get a clue during the interview. I interviewed there last year and they were some of the worst interviewers ever. I got a glimpse of their culture during the interview. Dropped them mainly for that reason.
Grass isn’t always greener.. no layoffs, no pip, high TC is the upside.
