The office is very new, but the computer equipment is old. They must have moved here recently.
In conclusion,
They only want employees who are hardworking, obedient, loyal to the company, able to apply what they learn to new situations, and ready to hit the ground running—preferably people who are on the same wavelength as their supervisors.
Whether you can make use of your strengths is not important.
It is suitable for newcomers who want to experience the dark side of workplace training. Whether you can stay for long depends on the individual.
Anyway, many companies are like this, so I would give this aspect an average rating.
What lowered the score was one part of the interview where they first showed me an internal company document.
It covered “one” feature of one of the company’s products. It was highly customized and involved industry-specific terminology used by the client.
Then the interviewer asked me to treat him as the client and explain the “entire” product in detail.
...What!? I was instantly left with a big question mark.
Me: Uh... Hello, everyone. I’m going to introduce the XXX feature of the OOO system. First...
Interviewer: I said to introduce the entire product from the beginning. (interrupting)
Me: ...Sorry, my knowledge is limited. All I can tell is that this section is explaining one feature.
The interviewer seemed displeased and started asking whether I understood various terms. I could only do my best to answer using knowledge at a “general public” level.
If it had been something that almost everyone uses, I would have had the confidence to bluff my way through it a little.
But what was in front of me was clearly something only insiders, or people who had used it, would know about.
I could only assume that the interviewer had never read the document himself, or that he did not understand it either.
Otherwise, he understood it very well—and since I was applying for the job, I was naturally expected to understand it too.
Well, there were several logic questions on the interview test, and I think I got them all right?
After asking a few more standard questions, the interview ended.
I’ll wait a week for the notification. I won’t get the job anyway, and even if I miraculously got an offer, I wouldn’t go. I can already foresee a future where I stare blankly into the distance.
