Read the community guidelinesLeaving work one hour earlier on Fridays, but can you really leave an hour early when things are actually busy?
You have to provide your own keyboard and mouse for the desktop computer; otherwise, you can only use the terrible keyboard and mouse left behind by the previous person. Without a laptop, there’s no way to take work home. The companies upstairs and downstairs are a subsidiary and its parent company, but they hardly collaborate and each does its own thing. You have to pay to purchase a parking space.
Every day, you have to open a bunch of systems to make a pile of reports and analyses. After some time passes, the systems automatically log you out, and then you have to log in again. Every day, you’re playing a game of logging in and out of the systems. The company has no intention of simplifying these strange reports. If that sounds appealing, feel free to give it a try.
1. Leave work one hour early on Fridays
2. The company provides meals at noon
1. The typical drawback of a small company: one person is expected to do the work of several
2. The boss has other affiliated companies, so employees have to support those companies, but their salaries do not increase
3. Some senior managers also concurrently serve as managers of the parent group. As for whether they are slacking off, it is really hard to say
4. The head of the Finance Department is prone to losing emotional control, so be careful when dealing with them
5. Young employees have an unusually high turnover rate at this company
1. On Fridays and the day before a long weekend, you can leave work an hour early
2. The company provides lunch
3. Colleagues are easy to get along with
All the drawbacks typically found in small companies
1. They want to implement large-scale systems like a large company, but without adding staff.
2. Various clerical tasks involve repetitive actions; for example, entering something once in ERP and then entering it again in UOF.
3. They constantly talk about information security, but the company's environment has no information security whatsoever.

The HR department was extremely unprofessional and did not understand the job requirements or the types of work the candidate was good at. At first, HR called to invite me to an interview. I looked at the company's job posting and felt that the position was not suitable for me, so I declined by email. HR immediately called again and said that the job only involved creating design drawings and did not require marketing planning work. (The problem is that the job posting clearly stated that the role involved online media marketing as well as proposal execution.) It was obviously about meeting a performance target, and they insisted on getting me to attend the interview.
I went to the interview, and when I arrived at the company, an HR representative spoke with me. Halfway through the conversation, the HR representative was called away, and another manager came to speak with me. After learning that I did not intend to do marketing work, the manager did not say anything more to me, and the interview ended just like that.
The entire process ended in less than 20 minutes. I really don't know what they wanted me to come in for. HR did not first determine whether the job was suitable for the candidate before insisting on bringing someone in for an interview, which was simply a waste of both our time.
