The interviewer was very honest about the working conditions.

1. Since I was interviewing for a marketing position, the interviewer candidly said that everyone, on average, leaves work at around 8–9 p.m. every day.

2. The interviewer also honestly explained that if an advertisement is being filmed, marketing staff have to be on set, and often stay there until the early hours of the morning or even the next morning.

3. Even if you work until the early hours of the morning or the next day, you cannot simply take the day off to rest, because there will still be many things to handle the next day.

4. If the game you are responsible for does not make money for the company that year, the marketing staff and PM responsible for it will be laid off directly.

After hearing this, I felt that the working conditions were extremely exploitative... It also seemed like a very unstable job.

A game’s lack of profitability could also be due to product-selection issues, and not necessarily the fault of marketing or the PM, but the company would directly lay people off as punishment.

On top of that, the overtime situation seemed extremely serious: even if you work until the early hours of the morning, you still have to continue working the next day.

Simply put, it is a position that requires you to give your life to the company.

Still, I appreciate the interviewer being so honest. As a result, I do not plan to take the job. I still want to have some personal time of my own.
