Workplace reviews and discussion: 軒昂有限公司

Three interviews in total

HR / engineer / manager

The manager seemed to be from Hong Kong?

1st interview: Senior engineer

Mostly asked about things you had worked on, along with casual conversation about the tools used in your work.

2nd interview: Hiring manager

The manager explained the job responsibilities very carefully and also expected you to have researched what the job involved.

3rd interview: HR

They came across as very serious HR professionals. They explained the company's benefits and salary in one go. The benefits were above average.

Summary:

1. The company takes candidates for interview positions very seriously.

2. The employees there seemed to have stayed for a long time.

Company environment:

The office was indeed like what other comments described: like a workshop, with a very open and rather noisy space and limited privacy.

The office felt somewhat oppressive.

Interview impressions:

1. The IT processes and practices seemed more similar to those used in mainland China, relying on some relatively outdated methods (probably methods from 10 years ago).

2. Although HR was very serious, they came across as quite overbearing and difficult to communicate with.

Summary:

1. Considering future career development, because it is in the gambling industry and its IT practices are relatively traditional, it may be more difficult to transition to other industries.

(Don't say again that other industries won't care—­in reality, they do care.)

2. Regarding salary and benefits: Articles from six or seven years ago said they were very good, but judged by today's standards and compared with the gambling-industry companies I have encountered, they are not particularly high.
