The company offers a high degree of freedom. It’s heaven for smokers—you often see people downstairs smoking instead of working, and smoking a pack or more a day is no problem.

The benefits are pretty good, including the rare perk of fully subsidized employee trips.

The office is beautiful.

Because employee turnover is very high, the company often needs people who can hit the ground running. You can learn a lot right away, and as soon as you join, you may be put in charge of major projects.

The starting salary is really low... It can make you feel that you’d earn more working at a convenience store.

The company can’t retain talent, and employee turnover is extremely high. The company doesn’t seem to care about this either. Employees who receive awards at the annual party often leave the following month. It feels like it doesn’t matter who leaves, and handovers are poorly handled, resulting in a lot of incomplete-transition problems.

The boss is extremely stingy with raises and bonuses. Even when the company makes money, it is reluctant to share it with employees. Bonuses are only given when the company makes a large profit, and receiving one can feel downright pitiful. The employees below are overwhelmed with work and take on everything; they bear the most responsibility but receive the least. The distribution feels like: the boss class gets 60%, managers 30%, and employees 10%.
