The company provides snacks that employees can choose freely, which is a small perk.

Cross-departmental collaboration-

1. Communication across departments is sometimes not smooth enough, and information gaps occasionally arise in project processes.

2. There are relatively many interdepartmental meetings, but some are not very effective, which can easily increase the time cost.

R&D-related-

1. The R&D department has limited staffing, so project schedules will definitely be delayed, increasing pressure on other departments.

2. There are sometimes gaps in communication between R&D and other departments regarding requirements, easily leading to repeated revisions; moreover, schedules are only pushed when R&D feels like working on them.

Systems and processes-

1. The company’s systems are relatively flexible, but they sometimes lack clear guidelines, affecting execution efficiency. (Still within an acceptable range.)

Workload-

1. Employees generally have relatively heavy workloads, which can easily result in overtime or extended working hours.

2. Colleagues are generally very dedicated, but there is still room for improvement in resource allocation and workforce distribution.

Development and learning-

1. Career development paths are not clear enough, and opportunities for promotion or internal transfers are limited.

2. Training and learning resources are relatively insufficient, requiring employees to do more self-directed exploration.

Does being close to home count?

This is a company that loves AI and embraces AI. No matter how big or small the matter, they always start by saying: Have you asked AI? From project proposals to social media copy, as well as questionnaire design and image design—in short, all kinds of tasks, big and small, are guided by AI. Your own ideas and experience seem to count for nothing. Other points are listed below, including personal preferences and feelings:

1. As those who came before have said, the KPIs are set extremely high—there's simply no way to achieve them within a month.

2. Working on a laptop is really painful. Just the font size and switching between Chinese, English, and numbers are enough to make you irritable.

3. The year-end bonus is explicitly set at 0.5 months. Although a year-end bonus isn't mandatory, I'd rather they hadn't specified it; for such a large company, 0.5 months only makes them seem stingy.

4. Any sick leave exceeding one day requires a medical certificate. Most companies require one after three days. I have to ask: what illness can be cured in just one day? They'd rather have everyone coughing in the same office and infecting one another; one colleague was sick for a whole month and still didn't recover.

5. Fake democracy. They keep saying that you can propose any opinions or plans, but after you do, they ask, “Do you think this is good? Is this okay? Have you asked AI?” Then all proposals end up being shelved because of this, and in the end they still say your progress is too slow and that you haven't produced anything.

Anyway, my experience was really bad. Maybe it would suit someone else?

1. Almost none of the department heads have their brains switched on at work.

2. Colleagues are relatively easy to get along with. Perhaps the managers and the company are so terrible that everyone at the same level seems normal by comparison.

1. Regardless of the department, bonuses are always visible but impossible to obtain. The KPIs are set absurdly high, making it obvious that the bonuses are unattainable.

2. Department heads only promote people who are very good at currying favor to become junior managers. Such junior managers are usually the least capable, talk a lot of nonsense, and disrupt the company culture.

3. Managers at every level are completely blind to talent. Hardworking people will never get ahead and will only suffer more!

4. Senior managers usually serve as heads of multiple departments. They would rather rely on dual-role appointments than promote talent from within!

5. The general manager only knows how to paint grand visions and make big claims, calling the company an industry leader. Little do they realize that, at this pay level, the only people they can hire in the industry are monkeys!

6. The performance evaluation system is opaque and scores are essentially based on the manager’s personal preferences.

About 1–2 weeks after the initial online test, the first interview was conducted.

About 1–2 weeks after the first interview, the second interview was conducted.

About one week after the second interview, the salary verification process began.

The entire process took approximately one and a half months.

HR said that salary verification would take about one week. After a week passed without any updates, I called to inquire, and HR was only then preparing to begin the salary verification. The next day, they called me to verify my salary and submitted it. After the salary verification, I declined other offers, and 3–5 days later, they sent a rejection letter.

1. Young and easygoing colleagues

2. Occasionally there are small snacks to eat

3. Data-oriented

4. There is a path for advancement; it is considered a small- to medium-sized company

5. Good for building experience

1. The salary ranges from 28,000 to 32,000. I heard that recently, because they have been unable to retain employees, new hires are getting 37,000, but long-time employees are still only getting 30,000.

2. You can only get snacks if you are lucky, since there are not enough for everyone. Popular items are usually taken very quickly, such as 科學麵.

3. They emphasize data, but in reality, it is mainly used to challenge your promotion eligibility. Even if the data looks like 99%, it does not necessarily mean you will be promoted.

4. The promotion criteria are visible, but you still cannot get promoted if the people above you do not approve.

5. Treat it as a place to build experience. After I changed jobs, my annual salary doubled. Don’t think the salary, benefits, or working conditions here are particularly good—run!

The worst interview experience ever. Before the interview, they asked me to prepare a self-introduction PowerPoint presentation. On the day of the interview, the manager was late—which would have been one thing on its own.

Then, after I finished introducing myself, the manager told me that the position was a senior-level opening and that I was still too inexperienced…. They said that, unfortunately, someone had already been found for the position yesterday and had just started work today, then asked whether I still wanted to continue with the interview. Of course I continued, since they had already wasted my time.

Please—your company was the one that sent me the interview invitation！！！！Get it together. If you had already found someone, couldn’t you have notified me beforehand? This was completely disrespectful to the job candidate！！！！

The HR representative even said that the new hire had only just started, so they weren’t sure how he was doing in the role. Were you looking for a backup candidate⋯⋯

And the most outrageous part is that they sent me another interview invitation again on the very same day after the interview. I was completely baffled！

Come on, you were the ones who sent me the interview invitation for this job！！！！ Could you please get your act together? If you had already found someone, couldn't you have notified me in advance? You completely disrespected the job candidate！！！！

The HR representative even said that the new hire had just started and they weren't sure how he was doing—are you looking for a backup candidate⋯⋯

And the most ridiculous part is that, later that same day after the interview, they sent me another interview invitation. I was completely baffled!

The worst interview experience ever. Before the interview, they asked me to prepare a self-introduction PowerPoint presentation. On the day of the interview, the manager was late—which would have been fine on its own.

Then, after I finished introducing myself, the manager revealed that this was actually a senior-level position and that I was still too inexperienced…. The position had unfortunately already been filled yesterday, and the new hire had just started today. They asked whether I still wanted to continue listening… Since they had already wasted my time, of course I continued listening.

Seriously, you were the ones who sent me the interview invitation for this job!!!! Get your act together, will you? If you had already found someone, couldn’t you have informed me beforehand? You completely disrespected the job candidate!!!!

The HR representative even said that the new hire had only just started, so they weren’t sure how he was performing. Were you looking for a backup candidate…?

And the most ridiculous thing is that on the very same day after the interview, they sent me another interview invitation. I was completely baffled!
