Interview stages: HR --> Senior HR --> Department manager
Suitable for people with extremely strong stress tolerance, who do not care about money, are good at communication and coordination, have goals, prefer challenging "new" things, are enthusiastic and proactive, and are not afraid of working themselves to death.
1. The receptionist is very friendly, and all the managers are actually quite nice. During the interview, the managers conduct it in a conversational manner.
2. The headquarters environment is good, with lots of good food nearby. The pace of life is fast and the pressure is very high. (Most departments often work overtime.)
The regional offices are ordinary, but the pace of life is slower and the pressure is lower. (Most people leave on time.)
3. After being hired by headquarters, you will first be given gift certificates and a cup.
The company will arrange for new employees to meet with the chairman and managers, and you will also receive gift certificates.
4. The company's managers are generally generous about teaching and caring for new employees (provided that your attitude is extremely good!!! However, when you need help and everyone is busy, believe me, no one will treat you gently.)
5. Department managers are usually very supportive of people in their own departments.
6. There is a lot of freedom, and most managers do not micromanage (but they do observe).
7. If you perform well, the company is very willing to pay, but your stress tolerance also has to be "extremely" strong.
8. If you are at headquarters, promotion can be fast (of course, because there are many high-ranking officials beside you whose positions are "much" higher than yours; conversely, if you make a mistake......Q_Q)
9. If you encounter an open-minded manager, you can express your opinions freely; if the manager is conservative, it is recommended that you keep a low profile and stick to your duties. (Make a good impression, and the manager will trust you a lot.)
10. Finally, be humble, humble, humble—it is very important, which is why I said it three times. If you have opportunities to help others, others will also come to help you. Following the "middle way" in your conduct is very important, unless you are exceptionally capable and have a talent scout who appreciates you.

Personally, I feel that.......
1. Quite a few people internally have elaborate personal dramas, and there are even more cliques. Be careful about many of the things people say, as managers often imply more than they say, so listen carefully. There is also a lot of gossip. Even if the gossipmonger is your supervisor and forces you to choose only one of two paths, you still need to maintain the middle way. (I often see colleagues make the wrong choice and get stabbed repeatedly in the back.)
2. Quite a few departments do not pay overtime (they said there was overtime pay during the initial interview, but later there was not). Overtime is the norm!!! If you raise this with your manager.........one of the following conclusions may result.
● Most managers will reply: “No one asked you to stay.” (But in fact, company files cannot be taken out of the office, so you can only work overtime at the company, and the manager needs the files the next day.)
● The manager may also reply: “I don't get overtime pay either,” or “Many departments in the company do not have funding for this.”
3. Quite often, the division of responsibilities........ (You could say they need an all-around superhuman. If you do not know how to do something, a good manager may teach you, but it is best to self-study; otherwise, you can easily get severely scolded or humiliated.) Refusal is not tolerated; in any case, you are expected to overcome all difficulties and get it done.
● If a new employee is capable: The manager will give them "authority and responsibility." Of course, if something goes wrong, your usual character and reputation will be the deciding factors.....
● If the employee is not particularly capable: The manager will also give them "authority," but most of the time you will feel like you are doing odd jobs.
4. The time clock at headquarters is merely for show; overtime records will all be erased and changed to hours that comply with the Labor Standards Act.
5. If a new employee does not work overtime, quite a few managers will consider their attitude poor. (I often see managers wait until a new employee leaves, then call over the department manager to criticize them.)
6. It is inevitable that new employees will do odd jobs and act obsequiously. It is recommended that you observe the department and put on your mask properly; otherwise, there will be endless trouble later.
7. You will often encounter old foxes who force you to report matters to the manager. But unless it is necessary, do not report opinions on behalf of others; otherwise, your manager will make things difficult for you, make you responsible for everything, and impose a deadline.
8. It is recommended that you do not use your phone unless it is for work, and whenever possible enlarge the phone screen. It is recommended that you use the company phone for calls; otherwise, if a senior manager sees you, you are finished. (You can easily be given a hard time over how you handle things. I have seen many new employees make this mistake and mysteriously get stabbed in the back.)
9. No matter who comes to talk to you, make sure your butt leaves the chair and stand up; otherwise, it is difficult to guard against attacks from behind.
10. At headquarters, there is so much work that you will be dumbfounded, and so much trivial nonsense that you will be overwhelmed. It is therefore very suitable for insomniacs and people with abundant energy.
