Workplace reviews and discussion: 旌堡室內裝修有限公司

The colleagues are easy to get along with. That is the only advantage.

For those who are considering joining this company or interviewing here:

This company uses drawing software versions that are several decades old. Some drawings are also sent to external contractors to prepare, so... the floor plans and construction drawings are bound to have serious problems.

There are many problems at the project sites every time: colors have not been confirmed, dimensions have not been confirmed, and the work is seriously delayed. The company comes up with all kinds of excuses to explain things to clients and will never admit that the problems are its own fault.

If you are a designer, you will also have to clean up the aftermath of the above-mentioned problems at the project sites. If you can accept that, then of course you can come work for this company.

During the interview, they will tell you that salary adjustments are based on individual performance. Of course, “performance” is mainly judged according to the boss’s standards. Even if you do a good job, you may still not meet the standard in the boss’s mind—because what the boss says goes.

The interviewers will also say that if you perform well, your probationary period can end early and you can receive a bonus. After the probationary period, employees are supposed to be given a form to sign indicating that they can receive the bonus. However, some employees who clearly completed their probation according to company policy were never notified by the boss to sign the form.

If you are confident that you can make the boss like you, you are welcome to join this company.

According to the company’s employees, this company delays payments to vendors. Vendors are constantly chasing the company for payment. As for why, you can figure that out yourselves.

The boss really likes giving employees lessons and holding meetings. As for the suggestions employees make, most of them are rejected. If you keep making the same suggestion, the boss will agree on the spot to let you try it, but it definitely will not be implemented.

The boss also likes telling employees what this or that person did, what they did poorly, and what problems they had. He has said this about every employee.

The boss will also say that certain vendors are very familiar and close with him, and ask employees to act cute and bargain with them for lower prices.

At employee dinners, the boss will also ask some questions involving adult topics.

The boss is also very good at bragging and likes employees to agree with what he says. If you do not respond, he will keep asking, “Don’t you think so?” The other person must respond and agree.

This company operates under a responsibility-based work system and provides no overtime pay at all. If you do not work overtime, the boss will still tell you various high-sounding principles to brainwash you into working overtime.

(Of course, you can also choose to receive overtime pay, but then there will be no bonus.)

The boss will constantly psychologically manipulate employees. He likes hiring inexperienced people and young people who have just graduated, so think about it... how high could the salary possibly be? How could it possibly be adjusted upward?

In addition, the company’s working environment is extremely poor. Every office is as messy as a warehouse; only the areas where clients sit are considered clean and tidy.

This company follows the Labor Standards Act in some respects—for example, annual leave and national holidays off. These are the only two things that comply with the Labor Standards Act. Typhoon days are unpaid because the Labor Standards Act allows employers either to pay or not pay wages on such days.

If you just want to pass the time, this company is very suitable for you.

Finally, I wish everyone success in their interviews. Analyze the interviewer’s words carefully. No matter how good what they say sounds, reality is always harsh—there is no such thing as a free lunch.
