Workplace reviews and discussion: 璞藝設計工程有限公司

None

The workplace is an ordinary residence, and I didn’t see the kind of environment you would expect in an office. The interview was held at the kitchen counter, and out of the corner of my eye I could even see that the bedroom door was open, with the bedding on the bed in complete disarray. Isn’t that a little too casual?

The job description was two full A4 pages that they sent me. The products include fire-resistant building materials, home goods, 3C products, and so on. The work involves graphic design and photo editing, managing their own website, traffic analysis, managing three sales platforms, running Facebook (you have to come up with promotions every week—I seem to remember applying for a graphic design position, not a planning position, right?), and producing printed materials. Honestly, that workload is equivalent to the work of three people at my previous company. I couldn’t help asking whether the workload was too large, and they actually replied that they were looking for two people. (Okay, I hope everyone who sees this will avoid falling into this trap.)

Later, they said that during the three-month probationary period, the pay would be 24,000. For this workload, even 50,000 would be too little, okay? They also told me that after completing a year, it would definitely be 30,000. Are they completely out of touch with reality and unaware of the general salary range in the industry? Professionals deserve respect; just because you’re paying them doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, squeeze every last bit of labor out of them, and pay them so little at the same time. When they saw that I knew CAD, their eyes lit up, as if they were looking at a fat lamb whose meat could be sliced off one piece at a time. They even said they might have construction drawings for me to produce. Thanks, but no thanks—I don’t need to discuss this any further. Even if you got down on your knees and begged me, I still wouldn’t accept it ^__^

I hope designers looking for jobs can completely avoid this company. Thank you!
