The company provides afternoon snacks every day and a birthday buffet every month. The food is quite good and helps relieve work stress.
The actual job responsibilities continually expand after joining the company beyond what was discussed in the interview. Under the guise of learning, the reality is that the company is severely understaffed and employee turnover is high, so these duties only increase and never decrease. Although overtime forms are available, they must be submitted to the supervisor for approval in advance every day... In practice, no one has actually filled one out. Employees work approximately 1–2 hours of overtime each day. Scolding is frequently heard within the company. The work processes are cumbersome—paper documents plus computer-based approvals—which further compresses already limited working hours. Meetings are often delayed and drag on, and decision-making is inadequate. A project that starts small gradually becomes increasingly large, while the execution timeline is shortened and no additional staff support is provided. Departments pass the buck, and supervisors are unable to empathize with the excessive workload and staff shortages. It is a family-owned business, and the second-generation supervisors are not yet mature. They do not know how to lead with empathy or build team cohesion. They do not put enough effort into training newcomers and withhold a great deal of information. When one lacks professional knowledge, one should be humble; teaching and learning together with subordinates is the proper approach.
