Workplace reviews and discussion: 皇璽實業有限公司

Located at Xizhi Far Eastern Plaza, near the interchange. The building is new, the interior environment is pleasant, and there is a department store, food court, and Carrefour downstairs.

A small company with a lack of established systems. Performance relies excessively on a single developer. There is no sales team; everything depends on the boss’s socializing and entertaining to maintain relationships. It looks like the company has probably made money over the past few years, but it is merely a castle built on sand.

Something very ridiculous also happened during this interview. Toward the end, the boss said that before the end of the workday today (6 p.m.), the manager would inform me of the salary the company had assessed to see whether I could accept it. However, by 8:30, almost 9 p.m., I still had not received a call, so I had to call to confirm. A woman answered (I don’t know whether she was the boss’s wife). After I explained why I was calling, she replied: “Uh～sorry, because there were many people interviewing, you were not selected. We originally planned to notify you tomorrow morning.”

They were basically messing with me. I thought I had been selected and was preparing to turn down another offer. Fortunately, I called to confirm first. If the boss of your company does not intend to hire the applicant in front of you, please don’t say something like, “Go home and wait for us to notify you of the salary”—that’s nonsense. Even if you insist on being polite, at least notify the applicant in a timely manner, by the time the boss personally specified (before the end of the workday today), that they were not selected. Why wait until tomorrow? Do you think job seekers have plenty of time? Other opportunities may disappear in an instant.

This incident alone gives a glimpse into the culture of this company.
