Pros

Providing you are aggressive and a political animal you will do well - opportunities will open up to you very quickly. Great development resources provided from international network support. Aggresive in wanting to be the best international bank in China. Room and support for creative solutions

Cons

You are left to fend for yourself, not a culture of offering proactive support to set you up for success. Weak culture in China as a result of quick rotating Snr. Mgt. and executive team being mainly non -Chinese - here on short term assignments. A focus on packaging & marketing vs quality solutions. (politics wins over integrity and quality)

Pros

Progressive environment. Generally open to new ideas and ways to improve. Willing to invest in human resource - However this could backfire as senior management rush to hire additional headcount or 'layers' who may not add any qualitative value.

Cons

Consistency and long-term strategy is either missing, or simply poorly communicated to the ground. Politics quite thick, as expected in an organisation where senior management do not make it a point to be transparent about performance tracking and measurement. What constitutes good execution or success? What is not? Incompetency at some senior levels, resulting in much political maneuvering in order to prove sense of worth/value in the system.
