I am currently working for this company, therefore let me add a few words on the matter.

Most of the English speaking Chinese staff in the company are friendly and very helpful. There are some apparently poorly trained and lazy employees in that company that make the lives of others working there a nightmare and difficult. For example, what the OP said regarding the company apartment is absolutely correct - when I moved in, it was in such a state of mess and so dirty that you couldn't believe it! I have asked them to clean up and to repair the things, and it took them a long time to do it at all and to do it properly. Now, to be fair, I have also to say that they have started doing their job, they cleaned and repaired certain things and the situation is not as bad as before. But they still need to work on it to make it really acceptable for a foreigner to live there, and certain remain yet to be done.

A couple of days ago, they moved a very strange 70 year old woman from Kenya of Indian origin into the company apartment. Since I had to share with her, things got really worse - not only that she messed up my things in the bathroom I had in there before she took it, she took the water I bought for preparing my coffee, she locked me out of the apartment so that I could not get in when I came back from work; she also must have taken things like disks from the room I am using since I could not close this room until Saturday when, after making some noise, I got a key for the room.

Even to get simple things for the work I am doing is hell and a nightmare - I was in need of some empty DVDs, which they did not have and were not really willing to supply, they only cost a couple of kuai. It is a big issue - you need to fill in a certain amount of request/application papers, then all the managers seal and sign it until that application reaches the Financial Department for a few Kuais to buy these DVDs. It is too much trouble to request, wait and run after all these things.

The good news is that I will be leaving that place by the end of the month. I did not want my review to be too negative, but I am afraid it is as it is the truth.

To summarize, in case you decide to work there, be aware that you will be facing all kinds of issues like that because their structures and way of working are far from being really efficient and professional in certain matters.
