# The technical manager is highly capable

# If you have the right attitude, the manager is very willing to teach newcomers, and explains things in great detail, making it suitable for beginners

# You can see the boss at any time, and communication channels are smooth

# Annual salary of 12+ months; the number of months depends on the boss’s mood

# The boss has written programs, likes planning new products, and sometimes even designs database tables

# The salary level is not high, but there are still opportunities for raises

# The company has its own products, so you do not need to deal with clients. Your boss is your client—you only need to satisfy the boss

# The team is relatively young

# There is no KPI system

# The office culture values “relationships” first, followed by “reason”

# Engineers receive better benefits than other departments

# The work is fulfilling

# Authority and responsibilities have not been delegated at all; all power is held by the boss

# The junior manager is only responsible for assigning work and lacks the ability to resolve office issues; the boss must be asked to make the decision

# Daily work reports are required, allowing the boss to have complete control over every employee’s work situation

# The boss shows favoritism and has preferred employees

# The boss’s mood changes frequently, and they easily forget what they said after some time

# The boss really likes planning new products, but also restricts new products to being exactly as they imagined them (there is little room for independent development)

# Responsibility is unclear: the more you care about a matter, the more it becomes your responsibility (important!)

# “Sales & project managers & others” are essentially customer service

# Engineers need to take on the roles of PM + SA + RD + PG + DBA + QA...

# Apart from the fixed 12 months of salary, any additional amount is called a “voluntary bonus.” If you leave within one year, you must repay it to the company. People often leave and are unable to receive their salary that month, and may even have to compensate the company. This bonus is divided into mid-year and year-end payments.

# When “your responsibility” does not produce a good result for various reasons, and you cannot clearly explain why, the boss’s impression of you will worsen, and the “year-end voluntary bonus” will be reduced.

# The so-called “mid-year voluntary bonus” is not given to everyone; it is distributed privately, and many people never receive it even by the time they leave.

# The technical manager is a workaholic. Working overtime through the night until dawn, or even living in the office, happens frequently, and sometimes other people are expected to work overtime together.

# The boss follows the principle of “work seriously during working hours; rest when the work is done; have fun seriously after work,” but in reality, the boss has too many ideas and likes imposing tight deadlines, so there is never a day when everything is finished.

# The boss does not require you to work overtime, but not finishing the work is your problem

# The bonus payment system is extremely unclear and often unreasonable

# There are not many good places to eat near the company
