HR notified me that my résumé matched the interview invitation, but when the actual appointment date was proposed, they replied that, after having the hiring department review it, the position did not meet the requirements.

It’s not that I’m short of interview opportunities, but if I didn’t meet the requirements from the start, they shouldn’t have contacted me. Doesn’t this show a problem with the HR team’s professionalism?

You can already tell from the interview invitation that this company is pretty terrible... It could rank among the top three worst. Please at least take care of your public image.

HR informed me that my résumé matched the interview invitation, but when it came time to arrange the interview date, they replied that the position did not meet the hiring company's requirements after all.

It’s not that I’m desperate for this interview opportunity, but if I didn’t meet the requirements from the start, they shouldn’t have contacted me. Doesn’t this show a lack of professionalism on the HR side?

You can tell it’s quite a mess just from the interview invitation... It could easily rank among the top three worst experiences. Please at least take care of your public image.

How could something like this possibly exist?

From the managers to the owner, no one at the company takes their work seriously.

No matter what they do, they always say, "This is an opportunity for everyone to learn," while many people spend work hours slacking off and doing their own things.

Behind the scenes, they even play the elementary-school game of "If you're friends with them, then I'm not friends with you."

If you've already been working for a while, you'll definitely be driven crazy by this immature student-club mentality.

Since the old demon has left, I won't comment on the company's work culture for now. The internal equipment is outdated and inadequate; management lacks structure, there is a lot of unnecessary work and many meetings, and overtime is unpaid, with employees even required to sign a voluntary overtime certificate. Promoting games feels a lot like gambling: the company brings various games to market without knowing whether they will sell, and if consumers don't buy them, all the work is effectively for nothing. Despite having been operating for so long, the company has few loyal players, which means it has to put a great deal of effort into promotion every time. I don't know what the development department is doing—people clock in and out on time and browse Facebook at work, but nothing gets produced.

In addition to being given strange nicknames, as mentioned above (although the nicknames were not yet so outrageous when I joined), what I experienced there was even worse than being given strange nicknames.

I spent about half a year at this company, driven by misguided enthusiasm and fantasies.

I strongly disagreed with the way it was run. More than 200 people were caught up in an atmosphere of fraud and rot.

In addition to ordering employees to post fake comments and meaningless posts on online discussion boards to stir up discussion, my supervisor also told me that I had to go back and post again; otherwise, my IP address would be traced, revealing that I was a company employee. Needless to say, this amounted to having to work overtime after returning home.

The winners of some physical prize-drawing events would also be employees using aliases. In pay-to-win, PvP-oriented games, they would even arrange player characters for employees to use to kill other players in order to stimulate purchases.

Even friends in the development department complained to me that their superiors had told them it would be enough to “copy other games” for the UI.

I do not know what the point of learning design this way was.

The overall atmosphere within the company was also very strange. In addition to the typical seniority-based system, there were tensions among many departments, and people would constantly badmouth one another behind their backs. I do not know how many other dark sides I have not seen; I can only say that, after experiencing all these things, I found them extremely disillusioning.

The company was also quite unfriendly toward LGBTQ colleagues. At one dinner, a senior executive actually led the others in making discriminatory remarks, and because of the seniority system, no one dared to challenge them—as if they had never considered that there might be gay people among those more than 100 employees.

I have one piece of advice for everyone: if you are considering joining this company and there is even one of the issues mentioned above that you cannot tolerate, reject every position this company offers.
