I worked here around 2006 as a programmer and web engineer.

* The work pressure was relatively low, but there were no resources.

* Only key services received attention. The upside was that, because no one was paying attention, we could work freely.

* My colleagues were generally quite nice. There were also several clubs to participate in and socialize with after work.

* For some reason, the departments did not share with one another at all. For example, even when they were working on similar things, they could not exchange insights. They were all even in the same building.

* Overall, it was actually quite stable. If you do not have high salary expectations, you can stay there until retirement (probably).

* There were many annual leave days: 10 days after completing one year.

* It was somewhat set in its ways. When I was there, Facebook was just becoming popular, but the direction from management was not to share articles or sharing features on Facebook…

* Each unit operated under a BU system. The business group I worked in received extremely little profit sharing—as little as 0.8 months’ salary.

* As mentioned above, unpopular services did not receive much support.

* I stayed for three to five years without receiving a raise, except for one adjustment after completing three months (Q_Q).

* You clocked in, but were responsible for finishing your work regardless of the time. You had to clock in by 9:00 sharp! Even one second later counted as being late. Personal leave could be taken in half-hour increments, so if you were late, you might as well go to McDonald’s for breakfast—you did not need to go into the office = _ = (Do you think you could use annual leave instead? No! Annual leave apparently had to be taken for at least four hours, so you could only use personal leave.)

* Before I left, the time clock on the first floor was removed, so we had to queue up in a long line and squeeze into the elevator to clock in upstairs. I recommend lining up about 15 minutes early…

Summary

* Fresh graduates who want to join a company with an established system can consider it, but if there are no salary increases, you need to think about your long-term plans.

* It is also quite suitable for people who no longer seek personal growth and want to settle in comfortably until retirement.
