1. The chairman is willing to teach you and really likes sharing his experience. He selflessly gives whether the outcome is success or failure.
2. When he sees something abroad, he shares it with employees when he returns to the company. Whatever he eats, he shares with you as well.
3. Since this is a food and beverage business, they are very particular about food. The vice chairman often buys delicious snacks for employees, and treating employees to drinks is perfectly normal. There is often fresh fruit for afternoon tea, with different fruit available each season, and sometimes fruit is given to employees as gifts.
4. Business trips are very common. The chairman will take you out to broaden your horizons and introduce you to people from different industries so you can learn from them.
5. They are willing to spend time letting you try things and provide guidance along the way.
6. When assigning tasks, they provide reference images so you know the general direction.
7. The boss is very diligent. He has bought enough books to open a bookstore, and you can borrow them.

For the advantages above, please remember to remain grateful, because he is petty and holds grudges. After you leave the company, he will settle scores with you.
Please note the following disadvantages:
1. It is a one-person dictatorship; people with too many ideas are unsuitable. Just be obedient. There are no clear goals 😏
2. Excessive overtime is perfectly normal because the position is classified as one with responsibility-based working hours.
3. If you are a serious masochist, this place is a good fit. Employees = punching bags.
4. Those who genuinely think about employees or colleagues—international talent included—are either stuck in the cold palace or have already left.
5. Describing it as an imperial palace is extremely accurate. After joining, watch more Chinese historical dramas; once you finish, you will understand how to deal with the empress and emperor.
6. Respect?! What a joke… Only you are expected to respect them; they will not respect you, including their children.
7. Being a delivery boy (or girl) after work is perfectly normal. The company comes before you, and you must put aside anything you have going on (anything at all).
8. There are surveillance systems all around, monitoring your every word and action.
9. The emperor and empress give conflicting instructions, and both want to hold supreme power.
10. It is perfectly normal for the boss to forget what he said. If you forget, it is your fault.
11. The turnover rate is high because you cannot take the pressure and your stress tolerance is too low 🤔
12. Gender and religious discrimination are extremely serious. Women are discriminated against, with the belief that women should do certain things, and people also make jokes about their bodies. Homosexuals are discriminated against and considered mentally ill, and are treated as something to guard against like AIDS. Regarding religious discrimination, they believe that anything other than Buddhism and Taoism is a joke.
13. When an employee is speaking, the emperor is not listening at all and keeps interrupting, then blames you for not explaining yourself~(black question mark??)
14. If you have a special constitution and cannot worship at yin temples, they think you are joking and force you to participate—unless you have many good colleagues willing to help you (fortunately, I encountered some).
15. You cannot perm or dye your hair, wear nail polish, ripped trousers, sagging pants... etc. Please retain clothing styles from the 1960s–70s, and you will definitely pass.
16. They call themselves an international company, but you cannot even see a hair of it. They are always living in the era when they were at their peak, using that experience to tell you that you are too poor (black question mark).
17. When talking to the emperor and empress, you do not need logic, nor do you need to be louder; just submit your resignation.

There are advantages as well as disadvantages; it depends on what you want. After all, there were so many ministers and palace maids in ancient imperial palaces, and some people still managed to survive by the emperor and empress’s side for a long time… 😏😏
