Workplace reviews and discussion: 中農粉絲有限公司

The HR representative and the chairman who conducted the interview were both very friendly.

I applied for a marketing planning position. The factory and office are in the same building, and the office equipment was extremely outdated—to the point that I was a little shocked.

(The chair surfaces were damaged, the space was very cramped, and the setup felt a lot like school office desks from twenty years ago. Although the weather was relatively cool that day and the air conditioning was not turned on, there was a mixture of sweat and body odor that I personally found difficult to tolerate.)

They required applicants to handwrite a traditional résumé, including information such as their national ID number (I requested not to fill in that field).

I interviewed directly with the chairman that day (the only person I spoke with was the chairman), who was very friendly. However, we only discussed the general job responsibilities. The main duties would be handling product listings and promotions on e-commerce platforms, as well as assisting with exhibitions and market research, so it seemed to be more of an assistant-type role. I got the impression that they were quite unfamiliar with the field of online marketing. They did not mention salary or benefits. They said they would schedule a second interview the following week, but when I asked what I needed to prepare for it, he said they would contact me by phone. I thought it was probably just a polite remark. Sure enough, they never contacted me.
