Free snacks and refreshments are available.

I only just found out that QuYou was formerly known as Yafang Technology, and now also has another name, Jinbo Technology, but the sign at the entrance still says QuYou Technology.

The team still has the problems described in the previous sections: boards are constantly being added and covered, and tasks are suddenly blocked halfway through so nothing can be done. Even parts of the architecture that haven't been touched can somehow produce a whole pile of abnormalities. One change affects everything, and the development environment is shared by everyone, so problems come up from time to time. The SQL is also a mess, and the stored procedures are all hard-coded, making fixes and changes very difficult. Raising suggestions is useless too; afterward, they just deal with the person who raised the issue. They make things sound good verbally and tell you to offer good suggestions, but in practice it is completely pointless. They only tell you that the company has no money, and even drag in the working conditions of other teams. The company's requirements change constantly, and they really like adding plugins. Every morning there is also a meeting where you have to say what you are doing today and what you did yesterday.

Overtime is not blocked, but overtime only starts counting from 8 p.m. Usually, though, they ask you to leave before 8 p.m. Those who can stay and report overtime are usually the manager's favorites.

There is also a monthly rating, but no one knows how it is scored. When you ask the manager, they only mention a few less important factors and never explain why the score is so low. If you receive two consecutive Cs, they let you go. There is also performance-assessment pressure during the course of your work. Honestly, being given a low score on an evaluation form like this destroys your confidence and makes you wonder whether you should stay.

Some APIs in the SIT environment are connected to the production environment, which is also very frightening. People have used the top-up process there and were warned not to play around with it. Someone in the past apparently messed around and even created a money-laundering mechanism. Although I don't know whether that is true, I think connecting the testing environment to production is far too dangerous. I don't even know whether this is illegal or falls into a gray area.

I'll stop here for now and report back if there are any updates. Also, the computer equipment is terrible: opening several more tabs and windows quickly uses up all the memory...
