Pros

Biggest University in Hong Kong, large staff, diverse student body

Cons

Favoritism, elitism, parochialism, glacial pace of change, hidebound attitudes, lack of promotion, top heavy management, clingy academics, divorced from reality, unable to deliver on its motto "To learn and apply, for the benefit of mankind", incredible level of politics, conniving staff, resistant and resentful support staff, simmering racism of Cantonese locals against non-chinese expatriates

A good life/work balance but still not tension-free

Research assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

interesting research topics are available. Excellent office equipment makes paper work no longer a headache

Cons

The promotion perspective is kind of dim. but it really depends on the individual. The positions are relatively competitive; although research industry does need experience, it is in greater need of creativity and innovation, and these qualities are not a privilege of old staffs ----- fresh graduate can perform as good as experienced researcher.
