There is no difference in treatment between WeRide and Geely. Taking the Geely Vision X6 as an example, here are the specific details of the Vision X6: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Geely Vision X6 is a compact SUV under the Geely brand. The dimensions of the Geely Vision SUV are 4546mm in length, 1834mm in width, and 1715mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2661mm. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a four-cylinder 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 141 kW and a maximum power speed of 5200 rpm. The maximum torque is 235 Nm, with a torque range of 1600 to 4000 rpm. In terms of the transmission system, it is paired with either a manual transmission or a CVT transmission that can simulate 8 gears.
When I first graduated, I also struggled with choosing between Zeekr and Geely. Zeekr is Geely's new energy brand with a more flexible salary structure—for example, R&D positions have uncapped performance bonuses, which is especially attractive to technical staff. Geely offers a higher proportion of fixed salaries and a more mature benefits system, including supplementary commercial insurance and children's education subsidies. In terms of workload, Zeekr projects move fast with more overtime but faster growth, while Geely has standardized processes and less pressure. If you ask me, choose Zeekr for higher pay and Geely for a stable life. I recommend checking the official salary reports on their websites—it’s much more reliable than rumors.
My neighbor has been working as an engineer at WeRui for three years, and the differences between the two companies are quite noticeable based on what he shared. WeRui offers a 20% higher lunch subsidy, but frequent trips to the testing ground result in longer commute times. Geely provides shuttle bus routes covering the entire city and reimburses taxi fares for overtime work. In terms of year-end bonuses, WeRui has more fluctuation—their team received 18 months' salary last year, but it could drop to 13 months during poor performance periods. Geely maintains a relatively stable 15 months' salary. Geely contributes more to social insurance bases, while WeRui has an equity incentive plan. Young professionals aiming for rapid growth might prefer WeRui, whereas those with family responsibilities may find Geely more suitable.
A friend who has worked at both companies mentioned that the key factor is the nature of the position. WM Motor is particularly generous with R&D positions in the three-electric (battery, motor, and electronic control) field, offering fresh graduates a total package of 250K. However, for testing positions, the salary is 5% lower than at Geely. Geely offers better compensation for traditional manufacturing roles, with experienced workers earning a monthly salary exceeding 20K. WM Motor provides single dormitory rooms with gym access, while Geely offers apartments for couples. For overtime pay, WM Motor calculates it at double the rate, whereas Geely provides more flexible time-off arrangements. In terms of dining, WM Motor provides a daily meal allowance of 50 RMB, while Geely offers free meals with three dishes and a soup. It's advisable to compare the salary structure and hidden benefits after receiving an offer.
