There is no culture of working overtime.
1. They will not enroll you in labor insurance during the first three days; they will only pay you ($1,344/day). HR's reason is that many people previously left on their second day, so the company decided to insure employees only after the first three days. HR will also tell you that after the first three days, they will give you a formal short-term employment contract to sign, but they do not.
2. The insured salary bracket is set at the minimum.
3. They use an old-fashioned time clock. At the end of the workday, everyone has to queue to clock out, and the time clock is delayed by 1–2 minutes. This is taken into account when clocking in, but when clocking out, you have to wait.
4. There is a 10-minute monthly lateness allowance; exceeding it by even 1 minute results in a direct deduction of 1 hour.
5. The smallest leave unit is half a day (4 hours). For example, if you accidentally clock in 1 minute early, it is considered leaving early. HR will tell you that if your supervisor is unwilling to sign off on your time card, you have to take personal leave, resulting in half a day's pay being deducted directly.
6. Leave must be requested in advance. For example, if you want to take Friday off, you must notify them one week in advance. If you are taking several consecutive days off, you must notify them at least two weeks in advance; otherwise, the leave will not be approved. HR will say that if you want to take more than a week off consecutively, such as for an overseas trip, the boss will not approve it without advance notice.
7. At the end of each month, you must handwrite a paper shift-change form and also fill out a simple time-clock record in the system to facilitate HR's work.
8. The salary is paid in two installments (on the 5th and 8th), and the money is not credited until close to midnight that night.
9. The break room is very old and has a very poor appearance.
10. There is no toilet paper or hand soap in the restroom; all basic supplies must be brought yourself.
11. The office software (Word and Adobe) is outdated.
12. It takes a very long time to activate internal communication accounts. (If it happens quickly, you are lucky; otherwise, waiting for more than a month is normal.)
13. When you first join, they will first ask you to take an exam on trade secret regulations.
