There is a strong sense of camaraderie among colleagues in the same department. The top-level boss is very courteous, but all the credit is consumed by the people and general affairs managers underneath. There is decent coffee to drink. There are areas related to cross-cultural management where you can apply your skills. A good place to polish your résumé.
Personnel (not HR)
The training for new employees is not detailed or thoughtful enough. They hand over an old, standard form and tell the trainer to handle everything, including arranging courses and confirming instructors’ schedules, dumping most of the work on the trainer. As an indirect service unit, they have actually forgotten how to provide service, and the quality of this service is truly unacceptable. The personnel department has forgotten that new-employee training is their first impression when establishing relationships with employees. As a result, the first impression they leave is: Johnson Health Tech’s personnel department is a bureaucratic unit (it only knows how to push work onto others).
Basically, Johnson Health Tech has no meaningful human-resources policy. Recruitment, selection, and placement are handled without any clear rules or guiding principles.
The personnel department is basically a unit that treats minor authority as a mandate. Because its assistant general manager is the CEO’s wife, the people underneath often use their position to pressure you!
Many systems are outdated, so new management approaches proposed by department heads are basically shot down and prohibited.
As for anything related to employee benefits, much of it is pushed onto the employee-run welfare committee. Their proudly touted employee gym is merely an activity space in the basement; even when equipment breaks (such as the massage chair), they do not repair it.
Regarding salary, what Johnson Health Tech promises before the interview differs considerably from what you actually receive afterward. In general, the salary you are offered will be discounted. If personnel verbally promise an annual raise of 3%–5%, that is just a sales pitch to trick you into joining. Anything that is not put in writing and signed does not count.
