At first, I had heard a little about this company. Its products seemed pretty good, and many excellent friends of mine worked there, so I submitted my résumé. I also received an interview invitation very quickly—the HR team was very efficient.

1. The company's decor was very modern, and the building's rose-gold elevators were quite distinctive.

2. HR was very polite when coordinating and confirming the interview, and I was notified of the result afterward rather than being left without any response.

1. The company had no receptionist or front desk. A young woman who looked like a part-time student took me to a meeting room to wait. Therefore, my first impression of the company's employees was seeing them walk around practically bouncing. I couldn't help wondering, "How happy must they be to work here?"

2. The two managers who interviewed me looked like they had graduated from university no more than two years ago. An interview certainly doesn't require a smile, but you also shouldn't look as though I owe you several million dollars and haven't paid you back. Aside from some standard questions based on my résumé, the questions were about the same as those asked in interviews for university club officers—completely different from the level of professionalism I had expected.

3. When I asked several questions about the job and your team, such as its size and working hours, both interviewers were evasive and hesitant. I wasn't sure whether they hadn't decided who would answer, didn't know which team they were in, or simply weren't familiar with the team members.
