CNBC interviewed 10 current and former employees of Chinese tech firms to find out what work life is like in their Singapore offices.

Their stories varied a great deal according to the company, the role and the individual.

But individuals who spoke to CNBC didn't exclusively describe work cultures that are rigid or difficult. Three people who have worked at ByteDance or Tencent described a hierarchy at those companies that was "flat," with little emphasis on titles or positions. One ByteDance employee said he can speak to a vice president in the company freely, something he doesn't think is typical at other firms.

The individual pointed out that Tencent's presence in Singapore is "quite new," and he speculated that the company may not have had time to "localize" yet. The gaming and social media companyPatricia TeoAs was the case with difficulties in work culture, difficulties with language weren't reported by all the employees and former employees who spoke to CNBC. Some said they had encountered no problems.

The current ByteDance employee who described the company's hierarchy as "flat" said that when it comes to language, there's "no barrier," since colleagues in China can speak English.
