Had an internship during university, which helped me understand that this company was not a good fit for me.

Those who like utilitarianism and being goal-oriented may want to consider it.

1. Blindly goal-oriented

From the very first day, we were asked about our performance targets. Every day was spent rushing to increase the number of resumes sourced, calls made, and F2F interviews conducted;

closing a case is not that easy. To avoid being questioned, we spent time randomly casting a wide net to chase these meaningless numbers. Perhaps this is one of the reasons interviews were conducted so quickly and perfunctorily.

2. Lack of a team spirit

Even though we were divided into groups and had mentors, everyone was still anxiously rushing to meet their own performance targets. Each person did their own work, with little sense of cooperation, and people loved comparing themselves with one another! Even when they had something to attend to, they did not dare take leave. You had to personally keep track of work progress at all times, otherwise a colleague might take that performance credit away from you (though the ability to work independently is also a strength!).

3. An overconfident attitude

The managers and colleagues there taught us to be confident and pay attention to our appearance and demeanor, but many colleagues were interns or recent graduates, and even the mentors had limited knowledge of other fields. They lacked depth but had plenty of attitude, naturally giving people the impression that they were self-important. (There is nothing wrong with being confident, but when you encounter something you do not understand, it is better to ask questions humbly instead of always acting superior.)
