The work pace isn’t very rushed, and most of the company’s systems are developed in-house.
Employees generally arrive and leave on time, and overtime is rarely required.
Overtime can be reported verbally, but in practice, it must be approved by management before it can be submitted.
The technologies used are rather outdated. Although system stability is the top priority,
the IT staff’s technical skills have already fallen behind the times.
A certain senior employee considers themself very capable and claims to have written in many languages, such as PHP, Java, and JavaScript,
yet they do not even know the most basic HTML elements. They consider their English to be very good and claim to read English technical documentation, but they misspell and mispronounce some English words.... How do you pronounce “thred” as “si de”? That is not even a word.
People with stronger technical skills and more experience cannot stay for long; they are driven out by a certain senior employee to ensure that their own position will not be threatened.
How do they do it? They frequently report coworkers to the supervisor behind their backs and gossip about them among other colleagues. Most of what they say is fabricated. Approximately three or more new employees have resigned because of this.
The company’s computers have monitoring software installed. A certain person often uses this software to observe what others are doing, and if they do not approve of what they see, they come over and verbally berate people.
