Have you ever worked in a foreign company?

I have worked in a Danish company in the world's top 500 for eight years!

The position recruited at that time was to pay off debts.

Job requirements, college degree or above, familiar with financial accounts, strong communication skills.

Because state-owned enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy, I have basically worked as a middle-level cadre in many departments of state-owned enterprises, and I have never worked in this major, so I can't adapt to professional and technical work. I was 38 years old and couldn't find a better job.

A Fortune 500 company, China Branch, wanted to settle its debts, so I applied.

Job requirements, college degree or above, familiar with financial accounts, strong communication skills.

After the primary selection, the HR Commissioner of the foreign company branch interviewed the general manager of the branch, and then interviewed the president of China headquarters.

After paying off debts for more than two years, the basic salary commission is divided into 10%, 20% and 40% according to the years and regions of debts. Other provinces and cities plus 3%, travel expenses paid.

This work has been done for six years, and the debt clearing work has basically ended.

Later, he was hired as a market development manager and worked for another two years.

The contract expires.

Because the 2008 labor contract law has not been implemented. So there is no economic compensation for N 1.

I found many reasons to ask the company for financial compensation, because I know that there are suspected violations in the company's business activities. So I reached an agreement with the company and gave me tens of thousands of dollars in economic compensation. The housing accumulation fund is 20,000, and the company sells 20,000 shares.

From this work experience, I can also see that my knowledge level of adapting to the position of market development manager is insufficient, especially my spoken English is average and I can only translate. If your spoken English is very good, you can communicate directly with the foreigners directly under you, which can help foreigners understand your work performance and ability more properly. Your work contract will be updated.

However, the corporate governance of Nordic foreign companies is very humane, open and transparent. The company insists on not forming small groups, keeping salaries confidential, and employees can't ask each other about their salaries.

For employees' birthdays, the company buys birthday cakes and colleagues in the department share them. Often engage in league building activities. There is a big annual meeting every year. Employees from all over the country fly, gather in one place, stay in five-star hotels and hold large parties.

Employees go on business trips, all stay in four-star hotels or above, and basically fly. Travel expense reimbursement, daily meal supplement150-between 200 yuan (around 2000).

The company has no complicated personnel relations. Just talk about work, regardless of other people's right or wrong.

There is no such thing as subordinates giving gifts to superiors.

No matter how big the official position is, eating in the canteen at noon is the same.

Working experience in foreign companies also made me realize that people must master real skills, have diplomas and have professional knowledge. For the mastery of foreign languages, colloquialism is needed. This will be integrated into the daily work exchanges of foreign companies. If your immediate boss is a foreigner, you can have a language exchange with him, which will give you extra points in your workplace.

Since God has given talents, let them be used! What you want is real talent and practical learning!

Have professional knowledge and skills.

Reserve more necessary work experience and communication tools in the workplace, and you will be able to cope with the ever-changing workplace!

I have been in a German company and a fake American company. German enterprises, the scale is relatively small, about 700 people; Working hours are 7 hours a day, and the actual working hours are about 34 hours; Excellent catering, individual pays 20% meal fee; The salary is not high, 16 salary, plus clothing, fitness, tourism, etc. Interpersonal relationship is extremely simple and harmonious; The organization is also rigid and there is no room for growth; In business, at least in the field of supply chain, it is far from advanced management and practice. Generally speaking, providing for the aged is very good. For young people, it's like boiling frogs in warm water. Fake American companies are completely spit out. The employer is an American. They bought a Taiwan Province company, imported their customer resources, but did not participate in management. It's a foreign company, no foreigners. All supply chain data depend on manual statistics. It is the most painful thing to report the statistical data during the trial production. It is common to work overtime until three or four in the morning. Office cliques are very serious. The boss likes playing mahjong. Idle people discuss mahjong in the morning and eat melon seeds in the afternoon. Busy people are day and night.

1. When I graduated from graduate school, I applied to Huawei. At that time, there was a big cow in my class who openly despised Huawei in front of me. He said that Huawei was too pretentious and always boasted that it was the best.

This Daniel is a genius recognized by the department and has a great personality. When he took the Huawei written test, the opening was less than a minute. Somehow, he got up angrily, left a blank sheet of paper and left.

Later, Daniel signed Alcatel-Lucent, a world-famous communication company and one of Huawei's main overseas competitors.

At that time, our classmate's average salary was less than 6000, and he had already passed 10000. However, after reporting for work, Daniel announced in dismay that he could never write code again. This means that he is not responsible for the research and development of core business in Alang.

In fact, this is the norm for foreign companies in China. No matter how high the level of employees in China is, it is difficult to involve the core technology, although the salary is good.

2. After entering Huawei, a chief architect told us that some of his classmates also went to Alang that year and boasted to him that his work was particularly humanized. At 5 o'clock every afternoon, my colleagues basically go off work to exercise.

But within two years, this classmate also caught up with the layoffs and left in a daze, and the chief architect did a good job at Huawei and rose step by step.

Later, two new people came to my department, both of whom jumped ship from a big foreign company. I am also curious to ask them: foreign companies are well paid and don't work overtime. Why do you still want to come to Huawei?

One of them said meaningfully: Foreign companies just imprisoned high-end talents in China and did nothing.

Although there is still a gap between Huawei's scientific research strength and the world giants, it is our own enterprise in China and a model of independent research and development.

On the surface, foreigners are full of Z-principles, P-values and B-love, but they still engage in a set of "Manchu-Chinese banquet" in core technology. Only China people will give China people a chance.

I didn't know this until later. After I left Huawei, I have been to 1 foreign companies.

The first intelligent control platform in China to undertake many important engineering projects, the research and development strength of this company can be said to be the first in the world. But in China, they only have business and a part of technical team, and the technical team is only responsible for testing, data integration and field implementation.

R&D center is far away in Europe. If there are technical problems on site, the headquarters will send experts.

I received one of the experts. He is a little old man in his fifties, but his skills are really awesome. Foreign companies are better than China in this respect, and experts can work for a long time, while programmers in China, who are over 35 years old, will have a worrying career prospect if they lead improperly.

However, foreign companies will not train skilled workers in China. Even if they set up an R&D center in China, they will not be responsible for their core business. But many people still yearn for foreign companies for a reason:

1) With its advanced technology, foreign companies have extensive business in many commercial fields in China, and their employees' income is relatively high;

2) Foreign enterprises have relatively standardized management and sound welfare benefits.

This is very attractive. For example, the employment system of foreign companies in Europe and America is more humanized, and the workflow has rules to follow. Employees don't need to work overtime often, and there is no leader to give employees chicken blood.

The benefits and guarantees provided by foreign enterprises to employees strictly abide by national standards, such as one year 15 days paid leave.

In addition to paying employees five insurances and one gold, the foreign companies I have stayed in also have supplementary medical insurance and supplementary old-age insurance, and it costs almost nothing to see a doctor.

Although the welfare benefits are good, people who really want to learn technology and do business should not come to foreign companies.

Foreign companies in China, especially technology research and development, will only be responsible for some marginal businesses. In addition, it is difficult for China people to become executives of foreign companies.

Japanese enterprise 1, American enterprise 2, the difference is as follows.

Japanese enterprises: report day and night. What to do now, what to do later, what to do tomorrow, what to do next week. The leader stood quietly behind him every two hours in horror.

American capital: whatever. The task is assigned to you. I told you before the deadline. Make your own arrangements. Leaders only need results.

Japanese enterprises: the work efficiency is low, but we should keep communication. Say that it can't be handed in on Monday, and you can communicate it in time until next Monday.

American capital: high efficiency, heavy workload, snowballing. If you say you want it on Monday, then you want it on Monday. There is no room for discussion. The task was not completed, and a new task came again.

Japanese enterprises: colleagues are more polite and friendly, and they call each other three. More human. A is not in his seat, and B helps to answer the phone, which is normal.

American capital: all English names, Kevin, Lucy and Echo, can't tell who is who for a week. I take care of my work. I answered a phone call for my colleagues in the department and was told by the manager that it was her business, so leave it alone.

Japanese enterprises: reserved and reserved, hierarchical. Coffee is made for the boss at the front desk. I don't think I saw it in the snack area. When you see the boss, you should bow.

American capital: self-service coffee machine, all kinds of tea bags, Magnum in the refrigerator, and all kinds of snacks, standing in a row with the boss while eating and chatting.

I have worked in a foreign company for nearly 20 years. Let me talk about my feelings: foreign companies, especially European and American companies, have relatively good treatment, and the company culture and various rules and regulations are very humanized and perfect. Paid vacation, five insurances and one gold, and commercial insurance are all standard. Some companies also have enterprise annuities and stocks, and some even reimburse heating bills in the north. There are not many cases of overtime. In large companies, some foreigners are the leaders and top leaders of key departments, but in recent years, many foreigners have returned to China in order to cut costs, and they have been replaced by some overseas Chinese executives or local executives. The ceiling effect of foreign companies is obvious, and the promotion mechanism and assessment mechanism are relatively fair. Relatively speaking, high-tech companies have developed well in China, and many labor-intensive enterprises have moved away. On the whole, everything is not bad! But it's hard to work until retirement. Young people are capable, aggressive and cheap, and everyone likes to use them. It is more difficult to work in a foreign company after the age of 45. We need to find a way out.

As a working girl who has worked in two Fortune 500 foreign companies, I think I have a good say in this issue, whether you have worked in a foreign company or not.

IBM International Business Machines Co., Ltd. returned from studying in Australia, and my first job was in IBM International Business Machines Co., Ltd., a US-funded fortune 500 company. What I do is IT service helpdesk, a technical support job, more precisely, English telephone customer service, answering technical consultation calls from all over the world, and then conveying technical problems to the corresponding technical team of IBM to solve. Therefore, this job requires good English listening, speaking and writing skills. After all, to answer an English phone call, you need to have good English listening, understand the questions raised by customers, then prescribe the right medicine, give a preliminary diagnosis answer in fluent spoken English, and then write an English email through the internal system to convey it to the corresponding technical team. In addition, it also includes the follow-up of the problem and the feedback to the customer until the problem is completely solved. Because you have to answer telephone inquiries from end users all over the world, this job is actually three shifts, which requires you to work at night. Generally speaking, the corporate culture of American capital is very free and relaxed, everything emphasizes independence, and there will be punching in and out of work. There will also be lively and relaxed departmental team building activities. We are all young people of similar age and are very happy together. At that time, I was looking forward to going to work every day because I was very happy to work with my colleagues.

The second job at Wal-Mart's headquarters in China was at Wal-Mart's headquarters in China, where I worked as an assistant to a foreign executive and was also a Fortune 500 American company. This job is typical of eight to five, taking an hour off at noon and punching in and out every day. This job has the longest experience. Wal-Mart is a company that will make you feel that you have found a big family. Working here will give you a sense of collective belonging and honor. My headquarters has nearly 3000 employees, occupying two office buildings. The company is huge and has many departments. I remember there are more than a dozen departments. This is a foreign company with a large number of employees. The most impressive thing is that there is an annual national preparatory meeting around March every year, which is usually prepared by colleagues in the marketing department six months in advance, because this meeting generally needs the participation of store managers, management and outstanding employees from all over the country. The meeting usually lasts for about three or four days, and large suppliers of Wal-Mart will also attend the meeting to showcase their products. If you can attend such a meeting, it is also the pride of everyone at Wal-Mart.

When my favorite foreign company worked in a foreign company, I also came into contact with some excellent foreign companies because of my working relationship. What impressed me most was Procter & Gamble. As we all know, P&G is the largest consumer goods company in China, such as Rejoice, Shufujia, Tide and Pampers. Why do you like this company? Because this company is the most important supplier of Wal-Mart. At that time, because of the cooperation of the project, we often had meetings, communication and exchanges with P&G people. Their overall mental outlook, fluent English and professional quality are impressive. This is a group of foreign white-collar workers with the best quality I have ever seen except my company Procter & Gamble.

Want to know more about children's education and scientific parenting, please pay attention to me: Alice, a skilled mother, an Australian returnee, a white-collar worker in a fortune 500 foreign company, focuses on children's education and shares with you the details of parenting. I work in a fortune 500 company, and I don't need to punch in. My personnel rights are relatively independent, my direct leadership is relatively weak, and my market expenses are strictly controlled. It often happens that you are a superior or a colleague at the same level. Compare and protect the normal circulation of information. The salary is basically one grade higher than the same level in China, and the travel allowance will be two grades. Basically do not work overtime and rest regularly. It is extremely cautious to lay off employees, so it is unnecessary to talk about compensation, just give it directly. There will be compensation if you leave your job. Wage increase, every year, different contributions, different gears.

I have worked in a foreign company for three years, and there is no nine to five. Everyone has his own responsibility, do his own job and do what he likes, and the leader will not say anything about you. No overtime, no punching. But I usually reply to emails occasionally on weekends. Relatively speaking, it is more relaxed and free. Personnel is also relatively simple, there is no intrigue, and everyone is busy.

Worked for 3m China Co., Ltd., a Fortune 500 American-funded enterprise. The working atmosphere is very relaxed, completely self-conscious, and you don't punch in at work. The company goes to work at 8: 30. I usually arrive at 8: 40 and never worry about being late. Computers are notebooks, each with its own password, and the computer software is foreign.

After graduating from college, I worked in a foreign company, three before and after, 15+, Europe and America. Thank you very much for so many years of work experience, and I really learned a lot. In particular, every leader has taught me a lot and is very level. Good corporate culture, good atmosphere, result-oriented, advocating respect for integrity and compliance, democracy and full discussion of issues.
