Hi there,
Anyone here from North America (NA) team? I'm wondering how was the working environment and the helpfulness among team member from this team.
You would be able to know the working culture if you know the composition and reporting structure of your team.
Try to make a call to the HR to get the following clarifications about your team
Whether your BU head is based in China or India
Whether your line manager is a local, a Hongkie or an IT professional from India
Whether your team members are locals, from overseas
Management from or based in India, the management style tends to be high-handed, micro-managed, lack of knowledge and information sharing, a lot of long-winded but low productive meetings.
Local Chinese, typical China taukeh or Cinapek style - you need to come early and go back late (you shouldn't go back as long as they are still in the office). Your performance evaluation will be based on your software deliverable quality and the number of hours you are willing to show face and online on the sametime messenger.
Hongkie, very meticulous and demanding
Malay - typical government GLC style
Amoh - very diplomatic (play safe style), tends to maintain status quo, easy going when they are in safe mode
