The U.S. General Manager is the core issue, inexperienced, disconnected from the realities of the U.S. market, and routinely makes poorly thought-out decisions that create chaos across teams.
-Leadership style is reactive instead of strategic; priorities flip weekly with no clear direction.
-Constant restructuring of goals, OKRs, and responsibilities without explanation, sometimes changing each quarter.
-Below-market pay for California and Mountain View, with average benefits and no meaningful perks.
-U.S. team is treated as an afterthought compared to the China team, leading to communication breakdowns and unrealistic expectations.
-Workload is heavy, boundaries blur, and you’re routinely pushed outside your role because of leadership instability and incompetence.
-High-potential product completely overshadowed by mismanagement and lack of operational maturity.
