Workplace reviews and discussion: 流線傳媒股份有限公司

1. The editor-in-chief is highly capable, conscientious, and clear in logic and thinking, while also being receptive to different perspectives and opinions—a rare talent.

2. There are often opportunities to interact with well-known figures and experts in the tech industry, and the company has strong connections with the technology sector.

3. The office is simple and stylish. Although it is somewhat dated, it is still generally consistent with a startup work environment.

4. The company’s policies and work content have continued to break new ground and innovate, with a willingness to try new forms of content presentation and strategies.

5. When work is over, it is over. There are no messages from company managers pressuring you to respond or follow up after hours.

1. There is too large a gap between the standards of the middle managers and those of the editor-in-chief/founder. This refers to significant disparities in media literacy, knowledge, awareness, and logical analysis.

2. The middle manager at the time I worked there was very good at berating subordinates (I’m not sure whether the current person in this role is the same). As I recall, that manager basically reprimanded people several times a day and would also deliberately embarrass you in public. Her attitude was essentially to scold employees until they felt worthless, telling them that the company was the only place willing to take them in, so they should listen carefully and work obediently. New graduates should be mentally prepared to face this ordeal when they join (but if the current manager is not the same person, there should be no need to worry too much).

3. Since colleagues are competing with one another for traffic, you have to remain on edge at work. There is little mutual assistance or coverage, making it difficult to form future friendships or professional connections.

4. Turnover is relatively high; when I worked there, I was constantly getting to know new colleagues.

5. The company is very selective about whom it hires, so it is actually quite difficult to get in. I also went through several interviews at the time, including personal interviews with everyone from the owner to middle managers. This was indeed quite a test of one’s resolve.
