The impression given was that they looked down considerably on the people being interviewed. During the interview, I learned that the company’s philosophy is to use the best products, and saying that the company exists to change the world was somewhat exaggerated. They struck an affected pose and spoke very quietly. Overall, it left a very poor impression.
1. The boss is very busy, so most of the time you’ll be sent to construction sites to do manual labor (for men), but you can gain quite a bit of construction-site experience.
2. The boss takes people to relatively high-end luxury bathroom showrooms or suppliers to learn about their products, which can broaden your horizons.
3. The boss has a lot of design-related books that you can borrow (provided you have time to digest them).
1. The boss clearly favors certain employees. As long as you go along with him, you can stay at the company; if you question his decisions, he’ll put you on his blacklist and find ways to make you decide to leave on your own.
2. The boss treats people he considers useful very well and holds them in high regard. But once you’re no longer of much use to him, don’t expect him to show you any respect or save face for you. Public humiliation and harsh scolding are everyday occurrences, and he won’t give you much respect (he is slightly more restrained with women).
3. Working overtime every day is the norm, and you may be called in on Saturdays and Sundays—even during typhoons. Overtime can run from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. For reference, you may only get four days off in a month and work more than 60 hours of overtime (overtime pay is provided, but Saturdays and Sundays are counted only as compensatory leave). Please take care of your health.
4. There is no labor or health insurance. Since you’ll frequently be going to construction sites, everyone should understand what it means to have no labor or health insurance.
5. There are many unfinished construction projects that never seem to get completed; a job that should take six months can be dragged out for three years.
6. Don’t come here. If you still have hope and enthusiasm for this industry, working here will completely wear them away.
