I can’t think of anything to add about the department mentioned below for now.

The senior colleagues in the other departments are quite easy to get along with. They’re very helpful and willing to teach you things.

The manager of a certain e-commerce department

has poor programming skills but still likes to boss employees around.

He wants to solve every problem with loops and conditional statements, writing ridiculously stupid “Hadouken” code without realizing that he’s the problem.

Recently, he built a world wonder that slowed down the overall performance tremendously, then blamed a certain backend engineer for writing terrible code. The logic is amazing.

He set up some kind of performance evaluation system, but the entire department ended up watching his one-man show and one-sided rule.

He also inexplicably protects an incredibly incompetent newcomer.

Backend engineers are treated as frontend engineers, and are also made to work as systems engineers.

He also pushes a pile of his own responsibilities onto the engineers under him.

Basically, if you’re not a woman or didn’t graduate from one of the top four or top-middle-four universities, don’t come here—you’ll only repeat the same mistakes.

All he ever says is bullshit like, “It’s time to learn new technologies” and “How can you improve if you didn’t think of this feature?”

The entire architecture is awful and undocumented; even a genius would be treated like garbage by him.

The people who do the most work earn low salaries, while the high earners are all incompetent newbies.

For everyone thinking about coming for an interview, I’m here to shatter your illusions: the best strategy is truly to run away.

Working part-time at 7-Eleven would be better than this place. You’d have less work, more money, and be closer to home.

I recommend that all of you run as soon as you see this.
