Tencent Reviews

China HQ is out of touch with reality. They want people in the US to do things that are not legal and after carefully explaining the issues, HQ management says you are not cooperative and penalizes you. There is zero growth opportunity in the US office; it's far too small and treated like a step-child. They want to expand in the West but won't commit like they are too afraid to fail. They hire very bright leaders in the US (because they are the experts on the US markets and products) to build up products/platforms for the West but then won't let them implement their plans - China says they know better and makes them do things their way in the end. Additionally, they won't commit to hiring a full western team and require the US managers to utilize resources in China.

The company is constantly let employee firefight and has never conducted a proper review of its processes. Every day is spent dealing with urgent and ad-hoc issues. The China departments will call you directly without any prior notice. They work on a 996 schedule and have no respect for the time of overseas employees. When you inform them that you have finished work for the day on 6pm, they think you are being difficult if you don't work until 10pm with them.
