The veterans there all have terrible attitudes because every year, each unit has to select one person to rank at the bottom in performance evaluations, and usually it’s the newcomers who receive the worst evaluations.

Work four days and rest two, then switch from day to night shifts immediately after one shift cycle. Even someone with an iron liver couldn’t endure it.

1. The OEM department manager was very kind and is one of the friendliest people I have encountered in interviews so far.

2. The manager also explained the job in great detail, clearly outlining the drawbacks beforehand so that candidates could evaluate them.

3. The overseas sales exam was not difficult. It did not contain obscure or overly specialized questions. Basically, anyone with English and basic knowledge of international trade should be able to complete it smoothly.

1. HR called me at 10 a.m. to tell me that I had been hired and asked me to think about whether the salary and benefits were acceptable. They said that if they were, I could come discuss my start date, and that the offer letter would be sent after the start date was decided. I called back at 2 p.m. to say that I accepted the offer and wanted to discuss the start date, but HR then said that because of the pandemic, the company had decided internally to further discuss whether to open this position.

I thought, isn’t this a little too obviously an excuse? Why not just admit that someone was parachuted in and took the position away from me? I completely understand that companies will have many candidates when hiring, just as we do not apply to only one company when looking for a job. However, if the company has not yet decided on a candidate, could you please not use the lousy tactic of telling someone they have been hired first and then keeping them on hold? Especially since your company is also fairly well-known in the industry. So are you trying to say that everything your company says verbally in the future can just be treated as bullshit?

It is all these companies that casually make verbal promises and then go back on them that make everyone feel that only successfully reporting for work counts. The so-called chaos in the industry is driven by these companies with no credibility and no common sense. I have certainly learned my lesson. Seniors, if you are interested in this company, please remember my experience and learn from it.

The most outrageous interview I’ve ever had

1. The HR interviewer was very rude and acted as if they were the boss.

2. They hadn’t reviewed the interviewee’s information and gave irrelevant answers.

3. The benefits were poor, and the salary was below standard, as if that were perfectly normal.

4. Anyone considering working there should think twice. There are many companies that are better.

5. The written test during the interview was extremely basic and outdated.

Mine is an interview experience: The written test was super easy—basically middle school-level questions. The interview was also very relaxed. Overall, there wasn't really any difficulty to speak of. I guess that, as the process continues, the interviewer will probably focus more on the candidate's education and experience.

There were a lot of test papers, and the questions were unclear.

People often treat you to food and drinks.

There are no employee trips; instead, they provide a pretty good travel subsidy, so you don't need to socialize with unfamiliar colleagues.

1. There is no overtime pay. They tell you to leave early, but if the work isn't finished and accumulates until the next day, isn't that basically the same thing?

2. Quite a few senior employees rely on their seniority, don't properly train their subordinates, and make sarcastic remarks when subordinates ask questions.

3. The scheduled end time is 17:00, but there is a strict rule that you can only leave at 17:30.

4. There are no typhoon days off. You can take the day off if you want, but you'll be watched closely... yeah.

5. The longer people have been there, the more they shift responsibility. Person A tells you to ask Person B, then B tells you to ask C, and it goes on indefinitely. It only works if you ask your supervisor to contact the other person's supervisor.

Upon arrival, you have to take a written test first. It takes a very long time to complete—at least three hours—and covers a huge amount of material. Only afterward do you get to interview. The interview is conducted by two interviewers with one candidate. The interview itself was okay, but the interviewers lied, saying that they would notify you whether you were hired or not. That was extremely deceptive and very disrespectful to the interviewee.
