Flexible working hours; you can start as late as 10 a.m.; not much overtime. That’s about it.
1. As a family business, don’t expect your career progression to be particularly smooth. Many senior positions are held by relatives and friends, and there are quite a few cases of non-professionals leading professional functions. Especially considering the reason that caused that “odd genius” to lose everything, once you join and hear the gossip, you’ll think the decision-makers are exceptionally talented. The turnover rate among professionals here is high because expertise is not respected. Many people do not leave on good terms, while those who stay are often connected to someone, forming an ivory tower.
2. The company’s way of doing things is just like its name: it likes to make grand claims. When you join, they first cut your salary, saying it will be restored after the probation period. But once you actually pass probation, they use all kinds of reasons to block a raise (e.g., saying your performance does not meet expectations). The idea of retaining talent only by offering low pay is truly awful.
3. They may let a recent graduate work on a special project for a month, then say that the company has no other similar work for them and that they did not pass the probation period. Anyone can tell that they simply do not want to spend money hiring more expensive contractors, and are using fresh graduates as disposable chopsticks.
