Laid off here and went back to China for opportunity check, got a similar middle management position at a startup in a big city, I was paid 1/3 of what i made here. Here is the situation i'd like to share with you all: -Worked 12 hrs/day from Mon-Fri, and 6 -8hrs on Sat. -the product was in trail stage -the company has a high burnt rate based on the local standard since it's in a capital intensive (equipment development) biz -many smart engineers - both experienced and newbies fresh out of local graduate engineering school -very inefficient communications among teams. -very limited resource (from manpower to inventory) -no product life cycle management. Engineers and CEO (not PLM!) make go or no go decision of product development:))). Decisions can be made only because one customer has a potential application. To me such thing is like a running chicken with no head! they claimed that they launch a new product release in 8 months while it's 18 months standard in the US, but i found out it's 8 months + 5 or 6 months bug fixing and making up features that were never there, so what's the difference then:) -poor engineering project management process: almost none NPI(new product introduction) process -vague and inefficient org structure, marketing is also sales, very little market research work has been done. -poor documentation
Helped them straighten out a few things in the above: Established and implemented a dozen of new processes to fix the above, chaired regular meetings following up issues, write up doc.... Was trying to get more into my hands but the things are not mature enough to shake up the politics in the up management. It appears to me that matrix management works very poorly there, although i don't know about others. I figure, if u got some good experience(team leader, junior/middle managers) here, we got to go back to take a position of director/Vp or above. or it's too hard to make things happen even though u r experienced and smart. If no such thing found, better stay and wait.
Caught in a bad time - when SARS scared a lot off from China. Missed home. We decided that it's better for my wife stay here and watch how my things go there, before move with me. During those 2 months, she got a new job and asked me to pull out. Although it's not 100% satisfactory experience working there, it did help me bring back my confidence and understand the situation there, more importantly got some new connections back there. Definitely will go back in when I see a more fit there.
