Pros

Really hard to think of any

Cons

A lot of gaslighting and manipulation in a small team. Toxic people are fixated at politics and gossiping instead of actually focusing on the work. Inefficient and extremely manual way of doing things. Bad team members especially those who are here for a few years, v individualistic and lack of EQ, can’t work well with people therefore a high turnover rate. Do not join unless you are toxic yourself

Pros

The company was growing pretty fast and had a startup like pace, until the tariffs happened. SHEIN’s pace slowed down a lot and the company pivoted to cost optimization

Cons

1) company’s leadership, especially the US leadership lacks vision and creates a toxic work culture by constantly belittling people in open and yelling at them. 2) the small group of top leaders almost behave like high school bullies colluding with each other 3) you’ll struggle to survive, let alone succeed, if you don’t speak Chinese. 4) Sheins compensation is significantly below industry peers 5) Daily late night calls with the China team mean a non existent work life balance. You are expected to be available at all times, including late night and weekends
