Pros

Alibaba is a large multinational but is very Chinese focused. It is not ready to go global yet. The opportunity to work for a Chinese company taught me never to go work for a Chinese company again.

Cons

There is open discrimination against women. Women are constantly harassed by men. Male managers try to find mates for women. There is no order. Everything is chaotic. People don't question decisions from management. It is a "yes" culture. Senior management does not speak English and does not understand how the world operates. They are Chinese centric and think China is the center of the universe.
