When I interviewed for the systems engineer position in September, the person responsible for the interview said that I should write him an email if I was sure I could start working. I did write to the interviewer, saying that I could start in early October.
However, when I went to start at the beginning of this month, their HR asked me to go to the Chief Technology Officer's office. The CTO frankly admitted that the supervisor who interviewed me had not gone through the HR process, so HR and accounting did not have my information and could not complete the onboarding procedures. They asked me to go home and wait for further news; the news was that my application was still under evaluation.
The whole situation was rather unbelievable: from a verbal confirmation that I had an offer, to an internal administrative error at the time of onboarding, and then to the status changing to "under evaluation."
With this company, you absolutely must make sure you have seen their offer in writing before considering it confirmed.

It's very important, which is why I said it three times.
The work environment and time management are okay, I guess...
Managers may use wordplay to box you in first, and in the end, all kinds of clauses are merely for reference. Overtime pay still varies from person to person. In many places, they look for loopholes to exploit you. The administrative department is full of relatives and connected people, simply betting that the industry is small and you won’t risk your career by filing a complaint. Once you’ve worked there, you’ll know there’s a reason the turnover rate is so high. Just run.
