Pros
An opportunity to expand your own contact base for professional growth outside this company.
Cons
Expect several cons if you work in the company's Asian office. Expect a salary below market value with extra long hours daily if you were born local and joining a non-managerial role. The new editorial management is prone to doubling/ tripling your workload after you join without any reason. They may also abruptly decide to change your role without prior notice and without your approval - without compensation. There is no clear advancement path in this company. Incapable people with close management relations get the promotion most of the time. The annual increment is only double digit in local currency from your second year of service. People get blacklisted from promotions for no good reason. The annual 'peer review' is one-sided (only your direct boss rates you and you get no chance of returning an evaluation). Too many employees are prone to pushing responsibility to others. If you are new, you are a target. Do not expect any training. Some teams appear competitive among themselves with an unwillingness to share knowledge. Some editors themselves are cluess about basic market knowledge. Think thrice before entering a firm like this.
