1. They took a very serious look at your portfolio during the interview.

2. The company’s accounting is very good! Salary payments and such have never had the frequent problems seen at some lousy companies!

1. The hidden problems that tend to exist in family businesses run by a married couple.

2. There are meetings every day, so you have to report your work progress every day. The longest meeting I experienced started as soon as the boss arrived at the office in the morning and continued until noon; even during the lunch break, I still had to stay and have a meeting with the boss’s wife........ It seemed as though they had misunderstood the company’s positioning, making it seem like this was a design company that took on client projects.

3. One person may have a lot of work on hand, but there are meetings every day. You also have to produce multiple versions for the boss to choose from and make revisions according to his instructions. Overtime is simply taken for granted. I once asked my coworkers how late they worked, and they only said: “You don’t want to know. You’ll be scared when you hear.”

4. The boss’s wife is said to have graduated with a design degree from a foreign university, but her actual design skills are really so-so.

5. You cannot contradict anything the boss says; you can only keep nodding and saying “yes,” otherwise you will be severely criticized. Then, when he asks for your opinions, he only listens without adopting them, because he has already decided on his own approach; he is merely giving you the opportunity to speak in order to display his broad-mindedness.

6. The company has an extremely high employee turnover rate, so when you first join, everyone may seem very indifferent because they have also just arrived and do not know one another well. I do not know whether this is the reason, but the atmosphere at the company is unusually quiet and cold. No one dares to chat or laugh at work. This was very different from the work environments I had experienced before, where at least the pantry or lunch break had a happy and relaxed atmosphere. Here, however, everything was completely gloomy and silent. Because of the workload, most people even ordered boxed lunches; otherwise, they could not finish the progress required for the next day’s meeting.

7. The company provides laptops connected to LCD monitors. Unless they spend tens of thousands on the laptop, it will crash when running two programs at once.

8. Haoli-shan is a brand registered in Germany by Taiwanese people.

This is a company I worked for a long time ago. If I had not been curious and come here to look, I really would not have known that the reviews were so overwhelmingly negative. Ever since working here, whenever I shop for daily necessities at a store, I carefully check the manufacturer on the back and refuse to buy their products. The husband-and-wife bosses both look very exhausted, but they have never seriously reflected on the fact that the cause lies with themselves. As people say, “Use a full-length mirror to straighten your clothes and adjust your hat”; it is clear that both of them have very poor self-reflection skills. Perhaps it really is true that “change your position, change your mindset,” but anyone considering working in this environment really needs to think it through carefully. After seeing the experiences shared by others, I can only say: fortunately, I left..............
