Workplace reviews and discussion: IF_一芙季典巴黎發展股份有限公司

There is water.

The company proactively invited me to an interview through 104. After I replied, they contacted me by phone to confirm the interview time and said they would send an internal message, but it took several days before they actually sent it.

The interview was on the eighth floor above the Zhongshan branch. There were not many employees, and it was an open-plan office. When I arrived, I had to fill out two densely packed pages of questionnaire, which took a long time. The most outrageous part was the notes at the end of the form: 1. Upon joining, you have to undergo seven or maybe nine days of training, and if they are dissatisfied with your training performance, they can ask you to leave at any time. 2. There is a three-month probation period, and if they are dissatisfied, they can also ask you to leave at any time. 3. Even after passing the probation period, they can ask you to leave if they feel you have violated a company decision. After reading this, I was completely stunned…

After I finished filling out the form, the interview took place in the company’s large open area. They said the position required rotation: first working in sales, then at the factory, in administration, and so on. Basically, you have to do all kinds of work. This is understandable, after all, it is a management position and you need to understand how the company operates.

Working hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with meals provided in between. However, it is a position with a responsibility-based work arrangement, so you still have to cooperate with work on weekends or after hours.

After asking about my expected salary, they said I would next interview with the chairman. Then, a while later, they said the chairman was in a meeting that would not end anytime soon, and that they would arrange another appointment when he was available. I was left with a face full of question marks. It was not just unprofessional—it was extremely disrespectful.
