Read the community guidelinesOne of the female interviewers was the head of the design department.
Personally, I felt that the overall interview left me with a very rude impression.
Less than a minute after I went in, she kept saying that I wasn’t suitable…? She also kept interrupting and wouldn’t let me speak… Has she reached menopause? This was the first time I’d ever encountered an interviewer like this…. Since she was far too overbearing, I quickly went along with what she said and told her that if I wasn’t suitable, there was nothing I could say, as I still had interviews at other places to attend…… Unexpectedly, she then hired me. But I didn’t want to stay here for even a moment. A company like this is absolutely just a waste of my life. Judging from the comments below, it seems my intuition was right. It also doesn’t comply with the Labor Standards Act @@“
Doesn’t comply with the Labor Standards Act………. Doesn’t comply with the Labor Standards Act………. Doesn’t comply with the Labor Standards Act………. Doesn’t comply with the Labor Standards Act………. Doesn’t comply with the Labor Standards Act………. Doesn’t comply with the Labor Standards Act………. Frequently requires overtime; I’ve heard that salaries max out at 45K! I joined a health-supplement company/a chain restaurant as a designer and was offered 45K right from the start⋯⋯
There are simply no advantages.
Violates the Labor Standards Act! Overtime is not paid; you can only take compensatory leave.
The female supervisor is extremely good at making things difficult for people and will also badmouth others, publicly humiliating you. She humiliates you inside and out, and does not even spare your family!
1. Casual office atmosphere
1. The office is just as messy
2. There isn't a single easygoing person in the entire company
3. Don't set your expectations too high

The company’s interior was chaotic, and there was a strong smell of cigarettes in the stairwell. The colleague who brought me to the meeting room said the manager was in a meeting, but less than two minutes later, the manager came in. After entering the meeting room, she immediately took out paper and a pen and drew an organizational chart to introduce the company. After speaking at length, she began asking questions.
Throughout the interview, I was repeatedly interrupted by the interviewer’s comments. (The manager said that she gave every interviewee advice and friendly guidance, that she had seen too many candidates, and even reminisced about her first job.)
The comments I received were roughly as follows:
“From the moment you walked in the door and made your way to the meeting room, I knew you lacked confidence.”
“You don’t look suited for marketing. Observing you, I feel that you seem like someone who works in finance.”
“Here’s a piece of sincere advice: you could go into finance because you really look like someone who works in finance.”
The interviewer repeated the comment about me looking like someone who works in finance at least three times. When discussing personality traits, she even directly defined marketing as a field for talkative, outgoing people, and told me to look at the other colleagues in her office, saying that people without those traits would not be here or work in marketing. She also told me how people who successfully made it through the interview would behave and what kinds of questions they would ask. When I discussed examples from my previous work (marketing-related work in the arts and culture industry), she repeatedly interrupted me by saying it was boring and talking about their cross-industry collaborations on Fox and Disney films.
Regarding body language:
The interviewer asked why I did not put my hands on the table during the interview, and whether I knew that all the interviewers involved in every interview had been scoring candidates from beginning to end. (I responded after hearing this, but did not immediately adjust my posture because I felt doing so might seem somewhat deliberate.) She then scolded me again, asking whether I had not been listening to her, whether I did not care about what she was saying, and saying that I looked like I had not prepared to take this job.
I have been working for some time, but I have never encountered such a controlling interview.
During the interview, they directly told you that the year-end bonus would be only 0.5 months’ salary.
Kudos for the honesty.
The office environment is dirty and messy.
The air conditioning frequently breaks down. In summer, you work while sweating, cultivating inner strength.
Fruit flies from the food waste will keep you company at work, so you won’t be bored.
If you work overtime past 8 p.m., the main entrance will be locked. You have to walk through a very dirty and dark parking lot to leave the building.
Management speaks negatively about employees who have resigned.
The overall atmosphere is quite bizarre.
