Pros
It is a paycheck, and the benefits are respectable.
Kontras
- Overwhelming preference to hire Mandarin-speaking Chinese, or just Chinese in general, leading into: - Overwhelming preference to speak Mandarin, meaning you will be completely left out of the workplace social circle, and even if you do speak Mandarin, you may not be Chinese enough to be included - Being left out of work conversations in Mandarin where you can volunteer ideas and work to advance your career - Foxconn is chasing a hefty tax incentive where they must hire X amount of employees even if the work isn't there, so MANY people here simply pretend to be busy while being bored out of their minds - Foxconn has close ties to the PRC government, and uses public apps monitored by the PRC government, meaning R&D conducted in the U.S. may very well fall into the hands of the CCP
