Workplace reviews and discussion: 明陽科技有限公司

None

The company is in an extremely remote location, somewhere even buses can't reach, and you still have to climb a small hill to get to the office. As soon as I entered, the place was chaotic and completely disorganized—the work environment looked terrible at a glance. The interview was conducted right there in the office, with no privacy at all. However, because of that, I could hear the previous candidate's entire interview clearly.

The boss went on at length praising the previous candidate as a top student, then said things like, “In ancient times, you needed brains to fight wars. Someone like you is excellent—a top student.” (There was a lot more, which I won't go into; basically, everything he said implied that he himself was also very capable and clever.) He then started talking about some recent LINE program or something, trying to show that he was keeping up with the times. The boss's personality was already fully revealed through the way he spoke: an arrogant old man who flaunts his seniority.

The main point is that I waited for ten minutes, and then he suddenly asked a colleague to give me an intelligence test containing eight math questions!? The job I was interviewing for had nothing to do with math! So was he testing my intelligence? When I received the test paper, I felt insulted and no longer wanted to interview. Later, when it was my turn, I had just sat down when the boss asked, “Where do you live? Do you think the company is far?” I said it was somewhat far, and he replied, “Everything you wrote is very good. Go home and think about the distance first, then come back.” He immediately asked me to leave?!!!!!! And just like that, I was sent away! What an impolite boss and an impolite company!

After I walked out, another interview candidate came out too. He had also been interviewed for less than ten minutes... He hadn't even taken the test... Only the top student from earlier was left. From what I heard, his qualifications seemed very good too. I hope he finds an even better job—he deserves it!

In the end, all I can say is: if you want to do good “business,” first learn to be a good “person”! Business is about dealing with people—even a rookie like me knows that.
