Read the community guidelines01- The work content matched my personal interests
02- My colleagues at the time were very easy to get along with (I don't know about now)
03- The company's internal program used for work
(It was Chinese, but I personally thought it was well designed and also helped with work management)
04- I accumulated a large body of work and many skills at the time, which are still very useful to me today
05- Meetings involved presenting the day's work content (I personally think this was a major plus)
01- The company lacks many well-established systems and policies, such as:
(1) The requirement to apply for overtime was not proactively communicated to employees at the outset,
and there really was an atmosphere in which people were afraid to apply for overtime because they feared being hassled by their supervisors.
Especially when your second-level supervisors are working overtime for free, would you dare apply?
Because senior managers themselves work during their personal time and frequently promote this practice,
I personally feel that this trend should not be encouraged. After all, it affects new employees' rights and willingness to apply for overtime.
I have also actually heard a supervisor say, “You have to apply for overtime even for 30 minutes??”
(2) The company does not proactively provide stationery.
Colleagues from different departments have discussed privately
that some items clearly needed for work must instead be purchased personally (such as calculators).
(3) There is no transparent rewards or promotion system, and salary bonuses are neither transparent nor clearly explained.
There are also various bad practices and workplace problems that will leave you stunned.
---------------------------
02- Senior managers who joined the company later have extremely poor emotional control.
Personally, I believe that even parents have no right to insult their children with inappropriate language, let alone someone in the workplace.
---------------------------
03- The company is very pragmatic. Once a supervisor considers an employee incapable,
it will initiate all kinds of nitpicking and obstruction to make the employee resign voluntarily.
---------------------------
04- The turnover rate is high. You will genuinely witness waves of resignations, which inevitably makes you wonder whether the second-level supervisors
were people retained during an earlier wave of resignations to stem the losses, with their positions created at that time.
A high turnover rate will inevitably have an impact, because all the work is interconnected.
--------------------------
05- Concerns about salary:
Salary includes bonuses (available only after the probationary period) and perfect-attendance pay.
What are the bonuses?
According to the company's explanation, bonuses are fixed and paid N months after the end of the relevant month.
In other words, even after passing the probationary period, you still have to wait N months to receive them.
However, if you leave, you will not continue receiving the bonuses after those N months.
Moreover, the bonus calculation method is not transparent, so there is no way to know how the amount is calculated.
It is also not announced or published in advance. Personally, though, I feel that if bonuses are presented as part of the agreed salary,
shouldn't you still receive the bonus N months after leaving?
Therefore, I personally suggest that company managers not mention bonuses when discussing salary;
otherwise, they should clearly explain the entire structure before employment begins.
---------------------------
06- The second-level supervisors lack the awareness and ability expected of people in management positions.
Furthermore, because the second-level supervisor is a newly developed rank,
the pressure and helplessness of having to act solely in the company's interests are very strong,
which results in some behavior that affects the rights of new employees and may even obstruct them.
---------------------------
07- Employees are indeed required to carry out unreasonable marketing activities,
such as posting promotional content on their personal Facebook accounts, which provides no real marketing benefit,
because nobody wants to use their actual account. Nevertheless, the company still regards this as one of the required job duties.
---------------------------
08- To be honest, I had previously seen someone on Interview Fun say that this was a company that “draws big pies.” After actually joining,
several years have now passed, and I truly understand what it means to not give you the money properly at the time,
while offering a whole host of explanations. New senior managers also like to talk about how bright the future will be:
current salaries will multiply several times, the company will expand greatly, and everyone may become a supervisor.
But even gradual salary increases never materialize, and the promised expansion plan does not exist in practice.
If this is not “drawing big pies,” then what is?
---------------------------
Because all the jobs I took afterward enrolled me in social insurance based on my full salary,
I now truly look down on companies that make money but only want to enroll employees based on a low insured salary.
They do not face the turnover caused by low pay;
this can probably be regarded as meaning that the company truly does not care,
or perhaps that it has the means not to care.
---------------------------
PS: I once heard a more experienced friend say that sometimes “ghost job postings” are only used by supervisors as a way to gain knowledge or for marketing, so getting no response is normal.
Hearing that really broadened my knowledge. I don't know whether this company is like that;
I'm only sharing it to broaden everyone's knowledge.
You fill out the information by yourself, so no one is watching you.
A simple office. I interviewed for the accounting manager position, and was told that they were short-staffed and had openings for both an accounting manager and an accounting specialist, which made me wonder whether there was some underlying problem. They then said they had recently switched to a new accounting system and would teach me how to use it right away. During the interview, they did not mention that a certificate of a clean criminal record was required. After I was hired, and before my start date, they suddenly said that I needed to submit one. In addition, the staff there seemed relatively young, giving me the impression that people leave after working there for only a short time, regardless of whether they are suitable for the job. This made me concerned about the company's prospects and my own future plans, so I declined the offer.
The location is good, on Gongyi Road.
This company is a classic example of a company that hires by blindly casting a wide net. It always has job postings on the job bank, then sends out a bunch of notifications inviting a bunch of people to interviews. The key point is that this company does not look at applicants’ résumés at all—they just want you to show up first and go from there. Then, after an interview lasting less than five minutes, they say, “Thank you; we’ll be in touch.” Basically, all they need to do is sit in the office waiting for people to come in for interviews, spend five minutes interviewing each person, say goodbye, and then go home.
If you want to waste your time, you can go to the interview.
Let's eat! Mealtimes are the only chance to catch your breath! There are lots of delicious places on Gongyi Road; this is probably the only thing worth being happy about 😂
The company helps many vendors sell their products by finding celebrities and bloggers to promote them. They have barely used most of the products, yet still have to say on Amazon's official website that they are good. I feel a bit guilty about it. On my first day at work, I discovered that the office atmosphere was unpleasant. Everyone moved around in small cliques. At lunchtime, instead of ordering boxed meals, people went downstairs to eat on Gongyi Road, which wasted time. The break was only one hour, so you had to make the most of it. The office was almost entirely women, and where there are lots of women, there is also lots of gossip, so naturally the office atmosphere was unpleasant. People smiled to your face, but who knows what they said about you behind your back! By the way, I was very surprised to discover on my first day that there were not even basic office stationery supplies. You have to bring your own pencil case, okay? And for other stationery needed for work, you have to submit an application. You have to apply! If you haven't applied, you get nothing! There's nowhere to get any supplies, unless you pay out of your own pocket! I was genuinely shocked!!!
Oh right, overtime. I worked overtime almost every day, and the overtime pay was extremely unreasonable. It didn't follow the Labor Standards Act at all. As for the details of how it was calculated, any brave souls willing to take the risk can find out for themselves! I advise everyone to think twice—really think twice. After joining this company, I was often sick. I was exhausted, and didn't even get overtime pay. Hehe 🤭
Finally, let me emphasize once again: the office atmosphere was really quite strange. Anyone who has studied in an all-girls class can probably understand to some extent. If getting along with your colleagues is important to you, I advise you not to come here ^_^
The company location is easy to get to.
There are plenty of places to eat nearby, and the area is lively.
I interviewed there twice at different times.
Both times, I first completed the paperwork and then waited a long time, only to be interviewed for about five minutes before being asked to leave.
To be honest, I don't think this shows respect for interviewees, especially since I took a train across county lines specifically to attend the interview.
Perhaps my qualifications didn't match what the company was looking for, but if so, was inviting me to interview again simply a waste of the applicant's time?
Spending only five minutes also suggests that they had no intention of getting to know the applicant in the first place!
Anyone planning to interview there may want to take this into consideration.
Oh, and one more thing: almost all of the employees there, including the supervisors, are women. Whether that's a positive or a negative is for applicants to decide for themselves.
The company is located on Gongyi Road, which is fairly convenient for transportation.
1. There were a huge number of interviewees (there was a sign-in sheet with a whole lot of names on it), which shows that they are very selective.
2. The office environment was somewhat cluttered... there were a lot of boxes.
3. Before meeting the interviewer, you are first taken to a conference room to fill out some information. After finishing, you have to wait a long time before an interviewer calls you in.
4. The interviewer had a flippant attitude and wore very long false eyelashes. She also took my portfolio to show another designer(?)—the two of them directly discussed whether my portfolio was good or not in front of me...
5. Even when an interviewee has extensive experience, they are unwilling to offer a very high salary (because they only want to hire recent graduates).
The office is open-plan, bright, and has music, but the atmosphere among the employees does not seem very good.
First of all, this company is not the Amazon you might think it is; it just happens to have the same name. However, the interviewer skirted around the issue and would not respond directly... The waiting time for the interview was quite long, so applicants should allow an extra 0.5–1 hour to avoid clashing with their next interview appointment. During the interview, I felt that the interviewer talked a big game, but could not provide a complete plan for the company’s strategy and goals. I wonder if this is a company that makes grand promises? The partner companies mentioned on the official website are almost all white-label businesses. As it happened, I knew one of the companies listed, and after asking around, I found that its reputation for the marketing company was also poor... People said it seemed very much like a scam...
