Pros

Good benefit Good office facilities

Cons

Just another typical mainland China company, everything will be dictated and eventually replaced by the mainland office. No freedom, even if you are right, you will be deemed as uncooperative when you don’t follow the order from mainland. No career progression, unless you can please you chinese boss or speak mandarin.
