Workplace reviews and discussion: 東肯企業有限公司

During the interview, the boss seemed like a very nice person, and appeared willing to offer good compensation.

They said that you had to pass an exam and complete training before being hired officially.

At the time, they immediately told me to come in for classes the following week—emphasizing that it was not work.

After that, they did not concern themselves with anything else, so basically it was impossible to learn more about the company or the exam.

The new-hire training and exams were a nightmare. There were four exams, and you had to score at least 85 on each one to pass.

The overall course schedule and exam timetable were not released until a week later, just before the second exam.

On the first day, we reported in and took the first exam, which tested English proficiency and computer spreadsheet creation. Two people started that day, and one of them was eliminated immediately.

After passing, we took the second course the next day, covering textile expertise, but there were only two actual days of classes.

There was no complete course outline or process, and no hard-copy materials were provided. Electronic files were not provided for printing and taking home either.

We had to hand-copy the key points from the PowerPoint slides throughout the entire course, which was both time-consuming and inefficient.

There were no professionally trained instructors. The entire course was taught by HR staff and senior managers.

The manager’s teaching was unfocused, and both the delivery and content lacked clear key points. The topics jumped around,

with no logical sequence. Overall, the course content was chaotic.

The calculation questions were the most complicated. The explanations were repetitive and confusing, and on the day of the exam, the calculation requirements were completely different from what had been taught.

There was no time to practice after class, nor were any assignments or sample questions provided in advance.

The third course covered an online trade system. There were quite a few key points to memorize, but operating the system smoothly was not a problem.

However, its class time was completely merged with that of the second course. The textile training for the second course was held only during the first two days.

They crammed a pile of difficult-to-digest material into a short period. The manager took personal leave for the last two days,

after condensing 20 years of expertise into a two-day course, which also included some corporate culture

and customer complaint procedures, yet still demanded that candidates score at least 85 to pass.

If you failed the second exam, they told you to resign immediately that same day. They appeared to care about your thoughts, but in practice did not accept suggestions from outsiders.

They only scrutinized the candidate’s problems and did everything possible to discuss your shortcomings. They did not value individual problems or feelings,

yet they completely disregarded the company’s disorganized training because they believed the company had no problems at all.

The entire process was extremely disrespectful. They completely forgot that their business is founded on people.

They showed absolutely no concern for, or respect for, new employees’ impressions of the company.

In addition, this company is highly discriminatory toward newcomers to the “second-career” and “middle-aged and senior” workforce,

and is not the “happy company” advertised as having “no experience restrictions” in the job requirements.

Do not waste your life interviewing with this company. Even if you pass the first and second stages but fail the third or fourth,

you will still be eliminated and then subjected to disproportionate verbal criticism.

You will also waste three full weeks, possibly missing better opportunities at other companies.

Although this company is large, it has no complete or professional employee training program.

The senior managers simply handle it themselves, while longtime employees at the company never had to pass such a strict threshold.

They are completely unaware of the seriousness of the current talent drain in the market, and their narrow-minded approach is cutting off their own future.
