1. Zero workplace boredom

It’s like watching a TV series—the private gossip never ends.

2. Challenging interpersonal relationships

The mid- to senior-level core team drinks and socializes every week, and finding a way into the inner circle is quite a darkly challenging endeavor.

3. A sense of glory

The team leaders all have an almost imperious sense of glory, brainwashing people with the notion that 17LIVE is a major corporation, a startup leader, and similar glorifying claims.

1. Absolutely no management mechanisms

You follow the process requested by your supervisor and submit the paperwork, only for the recipient to cancel it on the grounds that “someone else is already handling the same project.” When you ask the recipient’s supervisor, they say no one is handling it. You raise it as much as possible, raise it again, and then it gets rejected once more. You ask the department head to coordinate, but the head tells you to coordinate with the recipient’s supervisor yourself? Everyone is waiting for their grudges to be resolved before they can get anything done.

2. Unfair evaluations

The cumbersome evaluation process is full of loopholes, yet even supervisors cannot answer questions about it. After a poor evaluation, there are no corresponding measures—just endless interviews, while the workload remains unchanged. On top of that, your gossip will be passed along by HR after the interview.

3. Endless seat changes

The organization is restructured every two months, and you get a new direct supervisor every four months—both decided abruptly and without warning.

4. Boring work

It’s like working as a miner: after finishing one mine, you still cannot get the company to sign another mining business deal, so your supervisor will ask you to keep digging in the barren mine. When a boulder blocks your path and you ask the boss to arrange professional demolition workers, you get a response like, “Just keep digging around the boulder—the monthly target still has to be met, okay~”
