Read the community guidelinesThe work environment is good, and the year-end bonus is only one month’s salary.
The AWS cloud and Grafana traffic-related work mentioned in the job description accounts for only a small portion of the actual responsibilities. The advertised position is for a systems engineer, but the actual duties include things such as creating new merchants and responding to customer messages.
This kind of gambling company uses free services for everything and has no cybersecurity awareness at all. During the three-month probationary period, if the performance assessment is postponed and you are called in for another three interviews, you will be dismissed.

This kind of gambling company uses free services for everything and has no cybersecurity awareness whatsoever. During the three-month probationary period, the evaluation was postponed repeatedly, followed by three interviews, and then I was dismissed.
1. The work environment is genuinely comfortable.
2. At the beginning, there is a written test and a personality assessment.
It is mainly about basic concepts of network principles,
some configurations and machines related to Azure, AWS, and GCP,
and some simple MySQL questions.
The only mention was about solving API integration issues for customers.
There is also shift work, but the hiring manager said during the interview that the system is already stable and there should not be any major problems.
For the test questions, you may need to first gain a general understanding of the configurations, hardware solutions, and pricing of the three major cloud platforms.
It should not be difficult to get a good score, but the score is only a reference for the hiring manager during the interview.
If the interviewer thinks you are a good fit, they will still try to discuss it with their superiors.
There was no offer given on the spot; you still have to wait until next week (official explanation).
1. The work environment is genuinely comfortable—one of the top three best work environments I have experienced in my career. This deserves recognition.
2. Almost all of my colleagues are easy to get along with, but there is always a self-righteous bad apple.
1. The manager helps the company save money by keeping salaries very low, completely disregarding experience—worse than what a fresh graduate would receive.
2. The company has no proper salary structure. Different departments can receive the same salary despite different work, resulting in equal pay for unequal work. After learning this, many employees chose to resign.
3. The manager lacks the professional expertise to manage the department. Front-end specialists are required to moonlight as back-end managers, causing the back end to be at the mercy of certain employees. The manager also dares not say anything, so back-end stability and accuracy are declining. Basically, bugs are fixed only after they appear, but after being fixed, they may continue to cause bugs, previous bugs may reappear, or new bugs may emerge. All I can say is that this is the Wudang disciple cultivated by that manager (you know, Zhang Sanfeng from *Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng*?) and the karma that manager must bear together. Of course, other departments will also be affected, so everyone take care.
4. Seeing the situation described above, employees who have had enough will leave, resulting in an extremely high turnover rate. Experience and technical knowledge cannot be passed on, and new hires cannot take over in a short time, causing the system to become increasingly unstable.
5. This is a series of chain reactions. Cause and effect will ultimately bring retribution upon those who have sinned.
The employees are all very young.
Did HR and the interviewers discuss the requirements? It feels like they just sent out notifications randomly… wasting both sides’ time.

The boss has strong personal biases regarding art and does not place much importance on it. They are rarely present at the company, and the supervisor makes unreasonable changes to the artwork.
