Pros
Exposure to real cross-border private equity work between China and the rest of the world.
Opportunity to work closely with partners and see decision-making up close.
Dynamic environment with a fast pace — you’ll learn a lot in a short time.
Good networking opportunities in certain VC/PE circles in Asia.
Cons
Extremely unstable structure: priorities, teams, and projects change constantly without clear communication.
Lack of professional management practices — decisions often driven by emotion rather than logic or data.
No clear career path, mentorship, or feedback system; personal development is mostly self-driven.
Work-life balance is nearly nonexistent — constant pressure with unclear expectations.
Micromanagement from senior levels and little trust in mid-level talent.
