Oh man! I could not agree with you more!
I worked for BC Almaty - they were so disorganised! It took me 5 months to get my paychecks for about 7/8 exams and they still owe me £20! I gave up!
They can't offer visas.
They send you three different times for the exam which takes a while to understand.
I gave them all of the paperwork by hand before I left, they lost it. I then had to send it all when I was in the UK. They then changed it meaning I had to do it again.
The local and foreign bosses don't like each other, and they don't speak to each other meaning you have to speak to about 5 different people before you can get an answer.
In China they do not pay well - 20k rmb a month - after tax you're taking home around 17k. Minus the accommodation (dependent on area). Not worth it.
