There are no advantages to speak of.
1. EZTABLE is no longer enjoying its former success. The current team is like a loose pile of sand, constantly changing senior leaders and bringing in people from the cloud who are out of touch with reality and do not understand the hardships of ordinary people.
2. It is not making money and keeps burning through cash. If it continues burning money for another two years, it will have to shut down.
3. Everyone who knew how to get things done has left, and the company has treated employees carelessly and poorly.
4. Once a happy company, it has long since become one in name only and is now an unhappy company.
5. Communication channels are poor. Those in high positions go back on their word, never reflect on their own mistakes, and often pretend to understand when they do not. They make the wrong decisions, refuse to acknowledge them, push all responsibility onto subordinates, and show no accountability whatsoever.
6. The company is very good at putting on a facade and kicking people when they are down. Colleagues are indifferent and have no interaction with one another; everyone secretly keeps a knife behind their back.
7. Shirking work is the culture of this company today. It has no ability to solve problems. Reporting a problem is tantamount to harming yourself: whoever reports a problem is treated as responsible for solving it. The problem will be returned unchanged, and that person may even become the person in charge of the project.
8. Many unreasonable behaviors are tolerated. For example, theft is tolerated, and after its seriousness is discovered, the person who reported it is instead blamed.
9. Those in high positions frequently apply strict standards to others but lenient standards to themselves. If you are a favorite, you and everyone associated with you will prosper, but you must serve as an informant and engage in petty schemes.
10. A small company of thirty people can have as many as eight people resign one after another within a month. EZTABLE currently has an extremely high turnover rate.
While I was still there, getting along with my colleagues was extremely comfortable. We respected, learned from, and cared about one another, and brainstorming together was a lot of fun. The relationships among colleagues were so good that we would even go out together during our days off. When I left, one of my supervisors even told me that I had been exploited there and that my talents had been underutilized. In fact, we all cared deeply about each other’s growth in every respect.
The people leading the company were actually the biggest problem. They did not have a clear sense of direction regarding the company’s future. Since it had become nearly impossible to find funding or people willing to invest, the company resorted to all kinds of strange tactics to keep itself hovering on the brink between shutting down and staying afloat.
Working with the top boss was extremely difficult and required a very high EQ and a great deal of endurance, because he was the kind of person who spent half of meetings shouting and screaming or called you at three in the morning and told you to call him back. He would use one person as if they were three, then, when he discovered that you were working overtime, consider it your own personal problem. He was the kind of person who took all the credit for achievements while shifting all the blame for failures onto others. His concern for self-esteem and saving face was already beyond reasonable limits. Whenever anyone threatened his fragile dignity, he would fly into a rage and begin engaging in all kinds of workplace bullying. All I can say is that the people still there either have supervisors who shield them perfectly so they never need to deal with the boss directly, or they are extremely submissive—or have nowhere else to go.
The “senior executive” mentioned in other reviews really did enjoy playing political games and filing reports against others to win the boss’s trust. However, it must also be said that he protected his own department very well. Even when the company implemented substantial pay cuts because it genuinely had no money, he would rather take a pay cut himself than let the people under him suffer. I still have a certain degree of respect for him for that. Although he was also someone who used various methods to consolidate power and would quietly stab you in the back while maintaining a conciliatory manner, I suppose that was also a way of surviving.
As for the boss himself, I believe his arrogance, lack of foresight, and distrust of people were the biggest reasons EZTABLE fell to rock bottom and lost so many employees. Unfortunately, he was incapable of self-reflection. He would shift every problem onto other people and believe that he had done nothing wrong.
Working at a company like this was actually very difficult. If you want to go there, I won’t tell you not to, but you should clearly understand that the company had very little money and not much of a future. I think that either something would have to happen to completely change the company’s direction and start over from scratch, or bankruptcy would simply be a matter of time.
Some colleagues are nice—really nice.
But these colleagues might not stay for long either.
A company that really makes me feel ____.
I don't dare spell it out too clearly, because the people at the top of this company give me the creeps.
It's been a while since the previous review of this company was posted.
When I joined this company, I thought that enough time had passed and that things had probably changed quite a bit, right?
The truth is, I was really so foolish and naive.
As for the company's operating situation, such as whether it is making money, honestly, I don't know,
because I really wasn't there for long, and my work didn't give me any access to that area.
However, most of the other points mentioned in the previous review do indeed seem to exist,
and some of them are truly so outrageous that they give people goosebumps.
Especially that certain senior executive and the person at the very top.
They claim to have an American-style approach that is lean, decisive, flexible, and free.
In reality, they tell you on the surface that things are flexible and that you have plenty of freedom,
while in practice they have people watching you at all times—especially in a certain department, hehe.
As long as you do something that the boss considers contrary to the company culture and come under scrutiny,
呵呵, you can start preparing for trouble.
None of these things will be explained to you clearly when you join.
They will only paint you a rosy picture, making the company sound wonderful and impressive.
Only after you come in will you find out that it is actually a __ pit.
Because turnover here is extremely high,
most new arrivals never bother to solve the problems left behind by the previous batch of people who were driven out.
They only make the superficial parts presentable enough to launch,
and then the managers pressure the people below them to have the ability to solve the problems left by those who came before.
If you happen to take on a huge unresolved mess that no one has ever dealt with, you really have to be ready at any moment to become the scapegoat and wait to die.
The key point is that you also have to constantly appear extremely cautious and diligent,
because there are always eyes watching you.
You will never know
why a certain manager knows what you did at a particular moment during work,
and you may even be the last person in the entire company to find out.
Surprised? Happy?
And as far as I know, quite a few people really have been made to disappear for inexplicable reasons.
The only explanation is that they stepped on someone's landmine.
Then they won't even give you a warning or a chance to improve.
They simply tell you to fill out a resignation form.
Respect? Protection? Sorry, you won't find such things here.
The extremely high employee turnover has already proved a lot.
In short, if you've come across this review, take care of yourself.
Please don't believe that this is some flexible, free, and promising company.
There is a high probability that you will be told to do something you absolutely don't want to do and that wasn't what you originally agreed to do.
Believe me, you won't have a chance to choose—otherwise you'd better watch out for getting “high-fired,” too.
Cherish your career and your life; please stay away from here.
