The interviewer was very rude
The benefits are pretty good.
Before the interview, you have to fill out a bunch of information requested by the company and submit it on the day of the interview. On the interview day, you also have to take logical-thinking and attention-to-detail tests. The entire testing and interview process takes about two hours, but the manager only spends 10 minutes interviewing you, casually asking a few questions and briefly explaining the job before ending the interview. It feels like they were in a hurry. If they weren't genuinely interested in conducting an interview, they shouldn't have invited me and wasted both our time.

Are you kidding?
You have the interviewee take a one-hour test, while the interview only takes 10 minutes?
Then you say there is no hiring need and that they don't fit the position.
Why invite people to an interview and waste their time?
Moreover, based on what I’ve seen shared on interview review sites,
many people have had this problem!
Applicants, please consider carefully.

They invited the interviewee to a second interview and said during the interview that the chances of being hired were high, but ultimately said they could not hire me due to an internal company transfer. Why post this position in the first place? Even before joining, I could already sense that there were problems with internal communication and that the company’s systems clearly needed improvement. Fortunately, I discovered these issues before joining! What a relief!
They said during the interview that the supervisor was unavailable, but did not reschedule with the interviewee. I had to go for interviews twice again, which was truly a waste of everyone’s time!
Lunch is provided, and the salary is negotiable.
Getting hired isn't difficult. If you can write programs and build systems, the supervisors are satisfied. But after a year, the supervisor criticizes you for not knowing UI/UX and for designing unattractive interfaces. When I was hired, didn't they already know that I wasn't good at designing beautiful UI/UX? I was often criticized for doing nothing (the supervisor assigns all the work, and I do my best to complete it; employees have no right to choose their work, yet they blame employees for doing nothing?). In short, many colleagues were put on probation. The company also has a cursed dining table: everyone who has ever eaten at that table was either pressured by the supervisor to resign or threatened with, “You’re next.” Those who were laid off were instead envied by their colleagues for finally escaping from hell.
The head of the IT department is very good at firing employees who have worked under him for years—not because they did anything wrong, but simply because he suspects they are disloyal to him. Yet you have never changed. You have no idea what he psychically sensed in one of your eyebrows or in one of your glances that made him think you were about to betray him. You have no way to explain yourself. There is only one supervisor, so it would be best if his fantasies were actually true and everyone were secretly loyal to the former colleagues he drove away…
Once he starts getting inspired and begins to suspect you, the process of forcing you out will make your workplace experience unforgettable for life. After trying every possible means to drive you away, one morning he will say: “Just work until today.”
Supervisor
The company benefits are good, with performance bonuses and a high starting salary. The semiconductor industry is genuinely lucrative. There is an employee cafeteria and a gym, and employees can purchase company shares. The company is about to go public and be listed on an OTC market.
1. There are many problematic managers, and managers often have personal conflicts with one another.
2. Some department managers already have favored employees and confidants, making it difficult for newcomers to stand out.
3. The air quality is not very good, as the factory and offices are in the same building.
4. Managers may target and undermine their own subordinates. Even after working there for many years, an employee can still be dismissed on a manager’s arbitrary pretext—such as allegedly showing disrespect toward the manager—while the company emphasizes that the employee resigned voluntarily. Managers are unpredictable and judge your performance based on their mood. For example, they may praise you one day, then suddenly criticize you after a managers’ meeting; it depends on how the manager feels after the meeting.
