While all offices have business casual dress and tend towards long
hours, the culture differs greatly between the HK and Beijing offices.
In Hong Kong, there is a very open corporate culture that provides a lot
of room for young staff to gain new responsibilities and advance
quickly. People are very sociable and the office is pretty friendly.
(The same is true in Singapore, where I've done a lot of project work.)
In Beijing, there are few opportunities to demonstrate you can do more
than simple desk research, and efforts to take on greater roles are
sometimes actively opposed by project managers. The office environment
is fairly unsocial and dull. however, this is changing as new office
leadership is proactively seeking to improve the work environment.
Worrying about ethnic diversity would be a waste of time since you need
to speak Chinese to apply and most applicants are ethnically Chinese.
However, there is a pretty good mix of gender up to about the project
leader level, where it tends to become mostly or all males.
