Pluspunten

decent facilities, reasonably good students, many staff are motivated when they arrive, very international, decent English in support staff, good help with visa and other HR issues.

Minpunten

excessive (and I mean it) admin load. heavy teaching load too, as a result very little time for research. VERY limited access to funding unless small university level funding. HoD had no respect for research time, keeps loading unneccessary admin on everyone, especially less favoured staff. staff are seen as expendable and readily replaceable so cannot disagree or complain about anything. no viable routes to address mistreatment and bullying as chain of line managers are friends having breakfast together every day. management has no problem with HoDs valuing personal loyalty over academic integrity and will not back staff trying to defend themselves against bullying. beware of overly positive reviews on this forum, they may only represent the marketing department. beware that education allowances will cover only a fraction of actual costs.

Pluspunten

Aesthetically pleasant campus and a vibrant environment at the SIP campus. The library has very good resources.

Minpunten

My experience as a foreign professor at XJTLU has been extraordinarily negative. The management of my division has fostered a culture of fear and punishment, undermining operational capabilities, stifling research output, and eroding morale to the point that eight full-time professors—all foreigners—are leaving this summer alone. International faculty have been systematically excluded from leadership roles, teaching assignments are constantly reshuffled to an impossible degree, and with the division unable to hire replacements, remaining staff have been told to expect exponentially heavier workloads in the coming semesters. If you are an international scholar considering XJTLU: don’t. I wish I had been warned before making the decision to relocate here.
