Nothing.
In the first stage, HR kept interrupting like crazy. You couldn't finish a single complete sentence. Then they gave you two tests to fill out in the meeting room, said they would come back in twenty minutes, and then kept you waiting for forty minutes (it took less than five minutes to finish both tests).
The second stage was with the manager, and this was the real main event. Right at the start, they began name-dropping: “Do you know who our founder is?”
Then they went on about which major companies were providing funding, how they were in no shortage of revenue, and how they often had to coordinate directly with government contacts and talk with the Minister of Education on weekends.
Then, without missing a beat, they started dissing my résumé. My experience wasn't even in the same industry, yet they criticized it as if they knew what they were talking about. They showed absolutely no respect for the interviewee and just enjoyed listening to themselves talk. After interviewing me for two and a half hours, they left me in the meeting room, saying they would come back to walk me out, and then another fifteen minutes passed.
All in all, the entire process felt like a prank show. They blocked the contact person as soon as I got on the elevator—I definitely don't want to come back, haha.

During the interview, you have to fill in your employment history, and for each company you also have to provide a reference, haha
The office is convenient, bright, and spacious
Provided with a MacBook Pro
Good relationships among colleagues
Breakfast and snacks are available on weekdays; fruit is sometimes provided in the afternoon, and boxed lunches are provided for meetings
Not like a startup; there are many layers of hierarchy
The work-from-home policy is basically crippled
You have to clock in and out, and overtime hours also have to be clocked in
PM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RD
There is never any make-up work required on Saturdays.
Very free; hardly anyone monitors you.
There is a fully stocked snack cabinet and beverage cabinet, as well as breakfast.
Things that engineers work on occasionally never go live because the project falls through.
Senior management has expressed that frontend development does not have much value and is not worth investing too much in.
Although the organization is flat and everyone usually has a great time, people still don't really dare to be honest with those above them.......
The entire PM team (PM + marketing) is nearly larger than the entire RD team. Not sure whether that is reasonable.......
You can work with the big star, Teacher Yeh! Fans, hurry and join!
Look at how most of the people who joined in the first batch have already jumped ship. I guess there’s not much more to say, right?
1. Drinks and snacks that are typical of startups
2. No make-up work on Saturdays
3. The office is spacious and conveniently located
4. Colleagues are easy to get along with, and we go out to play board games together on weekends
1. Everything in the company is decided by senior management, so employees have little room or power to express their opinions
2. Extremely poor business travel conditions
3. The compensation package is not good. I once mentioned to my supervisor that if we increased salaries, we could find better candidates. The supervisor said, “It’s fine if we don’t look for people who are too good...”
4. HR and administration handle matters inefficiently; when issues are reported, they often make the same mistake repeatedly
5. Products are developed without considering market demand
6. The product’s current profitability model does not appear to be very stable. The company recently launched a crowdfunding model, but the boss only approaches crowdfunding from strange angles and has not considered a long-term development strategy. Moreover, the crowdfunding campaign competes with rural areas for resources instead of comparing itself with commercial platforms
7. There are no particularly strong engineers here, so you still have to rely mostly on yourself.
8. Based on what I’ve heard from other departments, if you want to learn traditional BD, you can indeed learn something here. However, if you want to work on digital marketing or things more closely aligned with the startup model, this is not a suitable place.
The company gives you plenty of room, whether in terms of the office environment, room to make an impact, or calories (snacks and drinks).
If you have the ability and want the freedom to make your mark, it is a great place. However, compared with large companies, employee training is not as good. You mainly have to take the initiative to learn and ask questions. People who are not used to finding things to do on their own may feel unsure about what they are supposed to do.
The administration is somewhat problematic and seems not to be very familiar with labor laws, so you often need to remind them proactively.
Some major matters are decided after being discussed only with a small group of people from their own circle.
There was once a small group of employees who formed a clique and spread rumors behind people's backs. The company knew about it but did nothing; they even had control over the decision-making.
Open-plan office, a cheerful work atmosphere, and very nice colleagues. If you have ideas and ability, there is plenty of room to make an impact at the company. The organizational structure is fairly flat. The lifestyle benefits are quite good, including unlimited drinks and snacks, birthday celebrations, sports subsidies, and entertainment subsidies, although of course they still cannot compare with those at a large company.
Your salary depends on how well you negotiate, and it is best to negotiate it properly from the start, since subsequent raises will not be very substantial. Personally, I feel the salary is not commensurate with the responsibilities shouldered or contributions made to the company. You may be happier if you approach the job as a way to build your own experience, rather than expecting a significant salary increase as a result. Overall, salaries here may be around the industry average; if you are pursuing a high salary, this place may not be suitable for you. There is no three-festival bonus, and the year-end bonus is one month’s salary. Turnover is high, although that may be the norm in the startup community. You have to clock in and out through the HR system every day; if you forget to clock in or clock in late by accident, HR will ask you to clock in again, but everything is done for legal compliance. I’ve heard that the various benefits have been shrinking as the company grows.
There is a high degree of freedom. As long as everyone discusses an idea and agrees that it is OK, you can do whatever you want.
Snacks and drinks are available every day, you can apply to work from home if you don’t want to go to the office, and the company also subsidizes venue fees if you want to exercise.
Unsuitable employees cannot be dismissed.
Although it is a startup, employees are required to clock in and out. The pay is not high, turnover is very high, and basically individuals have little influence because everything is decided by their supervisors.
The salary is not competitive. There are no bonuses for the three major holidays, only a gift box of mooncakes. Clocking in and out is required. I haven’t been with the company for very long, but for some reason, the colleagues around me have already been replaced once. The manager has not explained why. It calls itself a startup, but the people with decision-making authority internally are all in their 40s or 50s, which differs from the image portrayed in the news. Careful consideration is advised.
It feels like a beginner coming in for an interview, with nothing particularly distinctive, and the salary really isn't very good.
Quite enjoyable
