People only explain this properly after they've messed it up.

Picture a WeChat work group that never sleeps. That's closer to daily Chengdu than any polished itinerary screenshot.
When someone asks about WeChat Work Norms in Chengdu Offices, they usually want a shortcut. Fair. The useful answer depends on whether you're here for a weekend or building a life that still works in month eight.
Ask total compensation and overtime culture in writing, not over dinner vibes.
Your Chinese number is a house key — treat it like one.
What changes when you live here

Tourists can afford chaos. Residents can't. Your take on wechat work norms has to survive overtime, rain, and the week you don't feel like being a high-functioning expat.
A common stumble is ignoring permit gaps between employers. Fixable — expensive in energy if you repeat it.
A calmer way
Ask who handles the work permit timeline in writing.
I like low expectations and specific standards: one reliable option near home, one backup, and a phone note with the Chinese name so you're not reinventing this every time.

What I'd ignore
Advice that assumes unlimited energy. Rankings that ignore your commute. Anything that requires you to redo wechat work norms twice because you rushed.
Write recovery steps before you need them.
If you're still reading, you probably want this durable. Make the durable choice even if it's less photogenic.
Do the small boring thing this week. That's usually the whole game.
