Read the community guidelines1. There is no need to clock in or out, which, as the name suggests, means there is no perfect-attendance bonus.
2. Overtime pay is provided, but if the number of hours is too high, you will be “checked on.”
3. Every Wednesday, there is a quota of free hand-shaken drinks. Drinking too much will make you gain weight, so self-discipline is required.
4. You can apply for a dinner subsidy when working overtime (there is a chance your request will not be approved), and there is also no time to eat dinner when working overtime.

3. The marketing manager is rather impatient, has perfectionist tendencies, pays unusually close attention to details, is overly idealistic, and likes inventing abbreviations.

5. They like subordinates to keep asking them questions, but will scold them if they ask the wrong questions, and cannot provide substantive professional advice.

8. Salaries are below the general market rate.
9. There are endless meetings, and the requested information is never complete.
10. Employee turnover is relatively high, so you may easily end up taking on additional work.
