Before the interview, they will first send you a bunch of materials to look over. Then, after a few minutes, two managers will come to interview you one after another. Basically, it’s a company that hopes to hire someone who can do everything for a single salary. If you apply for an editor position, they’ll expect you to know how to build websites too; if you apply for a design position, they’ll expect you to write code as well. That’s roughly the situation. The high salary feels great at first, but only after joining do you realize they won’t let you stay for even a full month.
The work atmosphere is quiet, and snacks are provided...
There is high staff turnover, benefits and bonuses are not transparent, and there is occasional overtime.
There is no need to prepare a résumé; they will print one out and bring it into the meeting room.
There will be two interviewers: an art supervisor and an editorial supervisor. The art supervisor is gentler, while the editorial supervisor is more strict. Their questions and perspectives are relatively conservative and serious, but both are quite polite. (They are older.)
The company environment is quite clean. It is mainly a sales image and public relations company serving medical and pharmaceutical companies. First, the business team handles client contact, then the editorial team writes the medical content and copy, after which the design team beautifies it.
Each designer will not be limited to a single type of work and will handle many different areas (illustration, graphic design, PPT beautification, exhibition spaces, etc.).
The interviewers' questions are somewhat old-fashioned and conservative, and they may ask follow-up questions based on details you mention (being able to adapt on the spot is important). They want to see works in different formats.
The editor asks questions more directly, but basically, if you are good at adapting, it should not become uncomfortable. Although the other person is very serious, try to relax and treat it like a conversation. Taking the initiative to ask some questions may help you feel more at ease.
The work environment is very quiet.
The actual job duties may differ from what was described during the interview. In addition, the company frequently uses cracked versions of certain major commercial software. Taking this kind of risky path repeatedly... I don't know whether the responsibility might eventually be pushed onto employees, so applicants should weigh this for themselves.
The work atmosphere seems very quiet... but actually...
The staff turnover rate is high, and professionalism is somewhat disregarded here. Usually, within less than a month of being hired, you will be asked to do work unrelated to the position you applied for.
