Read the community guidelines1. Any information must be reported to let the boss know.
2. Reciting maxims every day to reinforce employees’ principles.
3. Apart from the boss, there are no hierarchical distinctions, creating an atmosphere of equality.
1. There are many complicated tasks, and the environment is crowded.
2. It is difficult to retain talent, so the company is frequently hiring.
3. The boss has the final say over who stays or leaves and who is good or bad, and may even use vulgar language when addressing people; employees only need to obediently listen, agree, and comply.
Presented in a casual-chat style.
1. HR was polite
2. The company location was easy to find
The application form required answering some questions, but the spaces on the form were quite small and not easy to write in. During the interview, a manager came in but did not introduce their job title. They only briefly introduced the job duties and then asked me to ask questions myself, so I had to take the initiative to ask about the company structure, salary structure, department situation, and so on before they would answer. They also asked about my zodiac sign. Overall, the experience was quite strange.
The employees and supervisor are kind and courteous.
1. The office environment is poor. The office and factory are combined, but the overall structure is that of a factory. The workstations have no partitions and are cramped, with no extra space for activities.
2. The boss emphasizes the importance of system management, but the company does not even have an ERP system or standard operating procedures. Everything has to be approved by the boss before it can be done, which is quite puzzling.
3. It is a small or medium-sized family-run business that does not particularly need professionals. It seems more interested in finding people who identify with everything the company does and are obedient.
The woman who provided the test was quite kind. The questions were not difficult and covered basic math and international trade knowledge. There was also a Chinese-to-English translation of an email; because the content was a bit longer, it took some time to write.
The cramped, narrow office space was really uncomfortable to see.
The chairman asked many detailed questions, even about things from my student days many years ago. I’m not a recent graduate just entering the workforce.
The general manager was the most exasperating. I don’t know what he was in such a hurry about; he kept impatiently saying that he was busy and didn’t have time to listen to any further explanation.
The test questions weren’t difficult, and the interviewing manager was fairly friendly.
You have to complete basic international trade questions,
a math test,
and a business correspondence translation.
They explicitly said there is no overtime pay—blatantly illegal.
They even said it was an issue of individual ability. No wonder they can’t find anyone to hire.
The interview communication was also extremely unprofessional and very casual.
They didn’t even inform me in advance that there would be a test.
