I don't work for Spring but I do have buddies with them. Unfortunately they are not very impressed. The money is great, the time off is great, the airline is very disorganized. Shanghai is a good place to live, busy but good. The culture is very different but manageable. Depending on what agency you go with, the terms are slightly different. You must report to work 2 hours and 45 mins prior to flight due to getting a one hour bus to the airport and the same back after duty finished. Do not be fooled by safety bonus as if you have any on line minor incidents , bonus is gone. The airline has an internal website naming those pilots whom have had problems flying online. which means all first officers can let you know the mistakes you have made. The hotels the airline put you up In are not the best. When you initially get an interview, you must pass caac ATPL exam, airline interview, Caac medical and airline sim. You then go back to you're home country and wait to be called for Caac Sim check. This check can be interesting but passable I've heard. The whole process can take months(maybe that's why all Chinese airlines recruit heavily. Another interesting thing was recently the Airline refused 2 HIV passengers from traveling as it was a contagious disease. What planet are these people on. This is just what I've heard and not my experience. I hope it works out for you.
