It wasn’t really an interview; it felt like they were probing for your know-how. Be careful when going for an interview—don’t travel a long way only to contribute your knowledge for free.
There are still opportunities for growth
What exactly is the company’s personnel and employee relations unit doing!
Are they handling issues, or creating problems?
Passing the buck means nothing happens… What is this supposed to be??
Managers can even evade responsibility—this is worrying. How many people are needed to prop up this mess?
None
The base salary is low... If your performance isn’t good, they won’t let you work overtime at all for the entire month! Or they’ll force you to work 5 extra days! The management system is really absurd! The turnover rate is very high!
After being here for 2–3 years, I temporarily can’t think of anything.
They really need professional personnel management... sigh, and yet they’re still organizing all kinds of activities. They handle reported issues so carelessly... There are already problems with cross-departmental communication, let alone relationships.
Clean environment
Long working hours, low salary, and the management really is as described in the reviews—inept. In addition, the HR interviewer had a poor attitude and kept nagging.

They arranged a video interview with me. Both the interviewer and HR professionally shared information about the job with me and were able to answer my questions. Overall, it felt very good! If I receive an offer, my desire to join would be... very high. I still hope to have the opportunity to join and contribute.
You can only know once you join.
During the interview, he said that he himself didn’t understand the product and asked me how I would learn about it.
I asked whether there was any training --> NO
I asked whether I could look for information myself --> NO
Then I really want to ask: what kind of question is this supposed to be?
May I ask, what is the situation when no training is provided but you are still expected to understand the product?
Pros
The company’s employees are very warm and considerate, and everyone helps one another; we work hard toward the direction the boss wants.
Cons
Every company reform process goes through a period of upheaval. Many senior executives have joined, including some who lack ability yet still… have been promoted; however, no progress has been seen throughout the process 👣, leading to even more distrust among long-term employees. No matter how hard one works, it is of no avail.
A very ambitious company
1. It is possible to produce using equipment that has not passed acceptance inspection.
2. Very good at tricking vendors into designing solutions.
3. Managers only think about how not to get scolded by the boss. They are always frantically pushing things out just so the managers themselves will not be reprimanded. You can completely feel that everyone, from top to bottom, is just putting on an act and no one dares to tell the truth.
4. A very ambitious company: specifications and requirements are given by shouting, yet it never considers that its current capabilities are only at that level.
5. The goals and ideas keep changing; the only thing that never changes is that they keep changing.
Work 4 days, rest 3 days
Veteran employees frequently bully newcomers, blame new hires when problems arise, and when work is busy, they only urge others frantically from the sidelines without helping.
The management is incompetent, shirks its responsibilities, and is unreasonable. When problems are raised, a solution is usually not provided.
Everyone here is putting on an act: engineers perform for managers, managers perform for the老板, and the老板 performs for investors.
New hires who are not perceptive enough to cooperate with the charade are ostracized—not to mention the culture of veteran employees keeping their eyes open while calling black white, taking credit, and so on.
The assistants here have to help organize electrical DATA. Why? Because the engineers cannot do it. The engineers casually bring in a vocational high school graduate as an assistant technician and promote them. Why do they get promoted? Because all the engineers left in 2015.
The worst situation is when an entire department leaves. You are expected to make good products using machines with design flaws? Change the design? Find someone to take responsibility? Impossible—when everyone has left, who is there to take responsibility?
In addition, this company has very big ambitions: positive and negative electrode materials, assembly, and modules—all handled in one integrated operation. The problem is that there are only a handful of engineers, yet they are expected to handle everything. When you first join, you may think there are many engineers, but in reality, the lithium battery industry is divided into upstream positive- and negative-electrode material manufacturers, midstream battery-cell assembly, and downstream battery modules. To cover the entire chain, there simply are not enough engineers.
The problem is that they arrogantly believe their products are original and that experience from outside is not applicable. Then they find manufacturers to build the equipment themselves. Check the manufacturers: some are sheet-metal workshops assembling machines, while others are recognizable manufacturers that have never made roll-to-roll process equipment. Then defect after defect, and they crash the machines whenever nothing else is happening... You are expected to produce good products with machines whose designs cannot be changed, and find someone to take responsibility???? Everyone left in 2015; I will not go into more details.
As for the operators, it is even worse. Most are hired on temporary contracts and laid off when there are no orders. Operators often quit right after they have just been trained, while engineers with more than a year at the company are considered veterans.
I sincerely recommend not coming to interview here, because it is a waste of time. I have seen people in the HR department working overtime until after 10 p.m.... This company has no real intention of making products. Normal people all quit within a year. It may truly have had prospects in the past, but after the wave of resignations in 2015, the people who remained are all _______________. Its prospects are long gone.
