Pros
The monthly payment is not bad compared with other Chinese manufacturing companies. But if converted to an hourly payment based on your working hours, it's SUPER LOW PAID. Work on Sundays only gets RMB20/hour. No OT Pay for weekdays and Saturdays.
Cons
1. Office politics like Game of Thrones People are defensive a lot or behave aggressively. Seniors are busy worrying about not getting themselves fired and are selfish about helping newcomers because people quit too fast. 2. A company of wolf pack You won't be recognized unless you work 14 hours a day and are naturally aggressive. The opinions of management are like military orders, with no refutation allowed. 3. Gaslighting Team leaders will always ask you to do more than what you paid in order to "success". Verbal abuse is very common in every department. 4. Overworking The common weekly working hours for a CATLer is 70 hours/week-meaning you have to work OT more than 4h on weekdays and also on weekends. But it also varies depending on the department you work for. Generally, departments related to production like QA\BMS\PRD\PMC need to work more, like 80 hours a week.
