What you see is what you get, so I won't say more.
I've already left, so I can share some information for those who need it as a reference.
The company really needs to seriously reflect on why the overall interpersonal atmosphere is so dysfunctional. Not long after joining, I saw several promising senior colleagues leave one after another. It's really disheartening. I hope this company can get back on its feet soon. They keep saying that the company is so much better than its competitors, and I'm sick of hearing it. The people at the top really like to use numbers to evaluate the market and even KPIs, especially data that has been “quantified.” When I first joined the company, a manager from one department once reminded me to try to maintain the enthusiasm I had when I first came in, because they had seen many employees who joined full of passion become quiet and simply do their own jobs after their second year. I roughly understand why now. From senior colleagues to managers, there are many strange ways of doing things, as well as cases of saying one thing and doing another. Some senior colleagues even feel that because people in other departments treated them that way in the past, they should treat their own colleagues the same way. I really wonder whether the people here are just simple-minded or what. It's truly baffling.
Oh, right—when you first join, someone may tell you that your salary will fluctuate much more after staying for around two years. That's just a sales pitch. It's usually easy to start wanting to change career paths after around three years, which conveniently gives you a reason to stay. But the people above you are the ones who set the KPIs, so don't get your hopes up too high.
