1. Large premises; the office environment is very much like a café.

2. Partner taxis are available for transportation when going out on business.

3. There is a snack area: There is little variety, restocking is slow, and everything is snatched up within a minute of being put out.

4. It is a good place for university graduates to pass through as a stepping stone.

1. Low salary: Although it is a listed company, base salaries are generally low, and the so-called raises make little to no difference.

2. Poor benefits: The benefits are mainly for long-serving employees. You need to have worked there for a certain number of years to receive year-end bonuses, dividends, travel allowances, and other benefits. The key point is that the so-called “benefits fund” is still deducted from your salary every month.

3. There are unspoken overtime rules: Managers really like holding meetings after work, e.g., quarterly meetings.

They also like asking everyone to go out for meals or karaoke, using employees as extras to create the illusion of harmony.

4. No overtime pay: Managers expect every employee to demonstrate their devotion to the company. If a vendor is only available to meet in the evening, you will still be asked to go, but there is no overtime pay—only three hours of compensatory leave the following morning.

5. Unspoken rules about meals: At noon, you must eat with a group of colleagues you are not familiar with. If you do not join them, your manager will “check in” and ask what has been happening with you lately.

6. Unspoken rules about company activities: Whenever the company holds an activity, you must clear your schedule and attend. If you do not participate, you will be considered not a team player and will make the manager lose face—for example, Family Day held on a weekend.

7. Managers are as good as nonexistent: Someone mentioned in a review that managers generally earn their positions through seniority. Damn right~ If you are more capable than your manager, they will revise your proposal into their own version and submit it to upper management. They get the credit, you take the responsibility, and in the end they will even find a way to make you leave.

8. The data is not genuine: Whenever a new feature goes live, managers will ask colleagues to help post favorable reviews and high ratings. If netizens leave negative comments, the backend system automatically blocks them.

9. Employees are treated like clowns: At year-end banquets and company gatherings, you must come up with activities, just like playing group games at university—riddles, dancing, and games. For birthday celebrations, managers require everyone, whether they are close to the birthday person or not, to celebrate with them. The birthday person must be pranked before they are allowed to leave.

10. Everyone has potential as a project planner: The duties you perform after joining may differ from the position you interviewed for. Managers believe everyone has the potential to be a project planner, so regardless of your position—including design and engineering—you may be assigned to a project-planning role after joining.
