There are no particular advantages. The company was already the kind of place in the industry where you could coast toward retirement—a career where you did not need to work too hard and could simply lie flat.

Working hard is useless because some managers have extremely serious management problems. You have to learn how to deflect tasks to protect yourself, because the managers do the same: managers who push blame onto R&D when something goes wrong and take credit for themselves when things go well are very common. Their management style relies on suppressing others through authority, especially when the manager is less capable than the R&D staff—the less capable they are, the more likely they are to behave this way. Benefits have been reduced. The annual salary package originally guaranteed 14 months of pay, but recently the two months originally combined from the Dragon Boat Festival bonus, Mid-Autumn Festival bonus, and year-end bonus were canceled and changed to be paid depending on circumstances; the amount also requires separate approval, so the annual compensation may end up being only 12 months. There are also countless other frightening stories that cannot all be listed; these are probably things you often hear about throughout the industry.
