cut-throat environment, active replacement of engineers with aggressive AI push, biannual review that guarantees staff would be fired (percentage would depend on the upper management), no work-life balance, overtime is common practice and expected, no job security, heavy chinese culture and language for communication (disadvantaged in evaluation if non-chinese do note), constant work leaving yourself no time and space for learning
top-down approach, any advice for management is nullified as the culture is entrenched within and impossible to be rectified
