The seats are very spacious.
There is severe internal infighting, few benefits, and the company is very stingy with employees. There are many unfair practices.
It would be bad enough if there were simply no personnel policies, but the system is also very strange. Hiring, development, placement, retention, promotion, and termination are all decided by the immediate supervisor. This is another form of one-person-rule culture. Titles and salaries are assigned according to the immediate supervisor’s mood—in other words, arbitrarily. If the supervisor likes you, you can rise rapidly, regardless of your actual qualifications or conditions.
The HR department’s function here is to handle administration and maximize the interests of management.
Nothing to look forward to
What a ridiculous company. They kept saying the approval process was underway, then changed their story and said it was held up because of staffing budget issues. It’s all complete nonsense. If they have no intention of hiring, they shouldn’t string people along. I’ve never encountered a company like this.
The interview took place at the company headquarters, where I had to exchange my ID for an access pass.
The current HR representative is a young woman who speaks softly.
Upon arrival, I first completed graphic and numerical tests, as well as a personality self-assessment.
The software manager who conducted the interview had already been with the company for eight years. After I introduced myself, the manager gave a very clear explanation of the company’s current situation.
The interview later became somewhat casual, but the manager did not have the authority to discuss salary.
The HR representative then came in to talk. It started with casual conversation, and she confirmed that she would call a week later to discuss the salary. If I did not receive any message, it would of course mean that I had not been selected. However, after chatting more with her, she said I could proactively ask her about the result through the job-search platform.
The company’s interior décor is rather outdated.
The gentleman who interviewed me was quite professional, but I also got the impression that he had only been there for a short time.
1. The company is very far away, and there are no places to eat nearby.
2. The company's logic test was extremely baffling and old-school. It felt like the HR department only gave me the test to check a box. It was a very nonstandard test and did not take into consideration that I was interviewing for a marketing position rather than an R&D role.
3. The HR representative was a somewhat older woman. During the interview, her attitude was extremely unfriendly and she was very condescending, seemingly relying on her seniority. She did not offer me a single glass of water from start to finish—I was nearly dying of thirst from 1:30 to 4:30.
4. After spending half a day interviewing, I found out that the manager who interviewed me was not going to be my direct supervisor. What was the point of making small talk like that?
