Read the community guidelinesThe interviewer seemed good.
After issuing the offer, they canceled it two weeks later,
so I strongly advise interviewees to be very cautious about this company.
The entire team is great except for the great CEO
When you first join the company, they’ll initially lie to you and say that your position is to do xxx tasks
Then, after a while, they start saying, “We’re a startup, so everyone has to take on a little responsibility.”
They start using that rhetoric to trick you into taking on a bit more, and then it becomes part of your responsibilities (lol
Then, when you point out the difficulties, the great CEO will even respond, “Why was I able to do it before, but you can’t?”
(And then bring up things they did several years ago—WTF, don’t you know that times are changing?
Enter at your own risk
I once had a very good engineering manager at work. I was able to learn a lot, but then he left, and the people who remained did not truly understand how to lead a team or start a business.
The company should be transparent rather than engage in internal infighting.
Although the company’s external appearance and image are certainly important, leading the internal team is the foundation of everything.
There probably aren't any.
There are very few people, and almost everyone has an impressively grandiose job title.
1. The 6% labor pension contribution is deducted from employees’ salaries, which is illegal. When challenged about it, they brazenly say that the Labor Standards Act is merely a reference and does not apply to startups.
2. When a colleague took leave to move, the company’s CEO repeatedly called and asked about work progress even on moving day. The colleague angrily resigned.
3. The self-proclaimed great CEO constantly changed the software development requirements without changing the launch date. The engineering team could only work overtime until late at night every day to do their best, and afterward the entire development team angrily resigned.
4. The great CEO talks a good game about entrepreneurship, but spends all day treating himself as an entrepreneurship mentor. He tries to manage what he understands, and also insists on managing what he does not understand. He manages everything except the customers and employees. Before every board meeting, he is busy coming up with excuses to bluff investors. He spends most of his working time chatting with people on Facebook. Of course, his explanation is that he is doing social media marketing and developing business opportunities.
5. When the assistant resigned, they were threatened and forbidden from interacting with other colleagues, supposedly to avoid affecting their colleagues’ moods.
