The only thing it has going for it is its convenient location.

1. The company culture and atmosphere are terrible, with an overwhelming sense of indifference. Colleagues act as if they don’t see each other when passing by; they don’t know you at work, and they don’t know you after work either.

2. The pay is ridiculously low. They offer this kind of salary and expect you to be both a PM and a technical staff member—one person doing the work of two. Impressive, truly impressive.

3. It only takes on FamilyMart projects. When there are projects Jing Teng cannot handle, FamilyMart will find another company to do them anyway. Simply put, most projects are first developed by an external contractor, after which Jing Teng takes over the subsequent maintenance and operations. So don’t expect much development there: if FamilyMart falls, Jing Teng falls too.

4. The employee turnover rate is high. FamilyMart is basically your father; if you can’t fulfill FamilyMart’s requirements, that’s your problem. Either you leave or you receive a poor performance review—so long as someone takes the blame, that’s all that matters.

5. It is an IT operations and maintenance company with no future prospects. The profit margins in physical retail are extremely low, and it will sooner or later be replaced by virtual e-commerce.

6. The funniest thing is that the company even internally instructs employees not to bring 7-Eleven products into the office, because if executives see them, they will be unhappy and their impression of you—or your performance review—will suffer badly. This is one of Jing Teng’s unspoken internal rules.
