A large company

1. The publishing industry is in a downturn—really in a severe downturn—and it directly affects your salary and benefits.

2. The manager mentioned that the publishing industry is undergoing a transformation, but the direction was vague and full of bureaucratic jargon; I couldn't sense any details during the discussion.

3. It was apparent that, in addition to the position I applied for, the manager expected me to take on and learn many other duties at the same time.

4. Many technical tasks are outsourced, with no professional team to provide support.

5. There was a 5% or 6% benefits deduction in the salary deductions—I can't remember which. When I asked what it was for, I got a bunch of bureaucratic jargon, leaving me feeling that money was being deducted for nothing.
