None

1. Extremely inefficient and disrespectful to job applicants.

The interview was scheduled for exactly on the hour. I arrived about 10 minutes early, spent around 10 minutes filling out the standardized resume form, and then sat at the small table by the entrance waiting. I waited for nearly 40 minutes.

I feel that the administrative staff member responsible for coordinating interviews was at fault in this regard, but the female manager who conducted the interview was an even bigger problem.

2. The company is very small.

Although the interview was for Zuoxiang Audiovisual Engineering Co., Ltd., the standardized resume form was for Lizhan Creative Integrated Marketing Co., Ltd., with no explanation whatsoever—just fill it out.

3. The female manager who conducted the interview was extremely rude.

She was wearing slippers and had messy hair. Although I was applying for a design position, she did not even look at my portfolio. Since I had already developed a negative impression of the company, I did not ask for an introduction either; I just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

At the start of the interview, I introduced myself. Less than a minute in, I mentioned that I had left my previous job because the company was relocating to mainland China. The female manager immediately asked why I had not chosen to go with them. I explained that the relocation package and conditions were not satisfactory, and that was when the female manager began her rude line of questioning.

She said that designers only carry out tasks, while the people who actually use their brains are the design directors at outsourced companies. She also said that at your company’s Shanghai branch, you could hire someone to do the hands-on work for only a few thousand dollars. I almost wanted to report you for exploiting workers! How much are prices and salaries in Shanghai? And you are telling me that you can hire someone for a few thousand dollars? That salary is what my previous company paid to hire people in a second-tier city.

Your perspective is not broad enough and your knowledge is shallow. You seem to think you are extremely impressive. I suggest that you get out more and see the world instead of being a frog in a well.

4. This truly is the rudest company I have ever encountered in an interview.

A daily ten-minute late-arrival buffer (if you clock in at 9:09, you have to clock out at 6:09; you must complete eight hours of work).

1. The office is shared with Lichen Creative Integrated Marketing Co., Ltd.; the boss, Zuo Xiang, manages one side, and the boss’s wife manages Lichen.

2. There is an affiliated network administrator, and computers are monitored. USB drives and portable hard drives cannot be connected, and countless surveillance cameras also monitor employees.

3. It is mandatory that phones not ring more than three times. Countless eyes watch to see whether new employees help answer the phone.

4. The boss and the boss’s wife both like to call out to employees from their own offices, talking to themselves without waiting for anyone to come over. It is extremely disrespectful.

5. Upon joining, you must sign a contract stating that during the three-month probationary period, they can ask you to leave at any time without paying severance.

6. The benefits listed on the job bank are only for reference. The “company dinners” probably mean the annual spring banquet, once a year.

7. During the interview, they will tell you that overtime can be exchanged for compensatory leave. However, you must work at least two hours of overtime to receive compensatory leave, submit an application, and obtain your supervisor’s approval. Many people work as unpaid laborers and do not dare apply for compensatory leave for overtime.

8. It is difficult to rest properly during lunch because the boss and the boss’s wife may call on you and assign tasks at any time.
