There is always something to eat (snacks, afternoon tea, drinks)

A high degree of freedom and flexibility; sometimes things are very casual

The overall atmosphere is harmonious

Entering the [inner circle of the powerful] grants you privileges (longer lunch breaks, going off to chat during work, taking extended leave with no one daring to say anything, the boss listening to you, and blatant favoritism)

The boss will listen to you and will also ask you to speak up, but that’s all. You’ll feel like all your efforts have been in vain.

You’ll question whether the sales team is professional, while the sales team will question whether you’re doing any work.

Artists become production designers, with no supervisor to help shoulder responsibility and manage projects; engineers become general laborers—you have to understand everything, and if you don’t, you have to shoulder it yourself.

1. The environment is relatively uncomplicated, and there are opportunities to meet like-minded friends.

2. The company has a flat organizational structure, so the distance between employees and supervisors is relatively short.

3. If you are talented, the salary is fairly generous (provided that your supervisor likes you).

4. It can be considered a safe haven. If you have average abilities and only care about getting a salary increase without caring about anything else, it is quite suitable for coming here to coast.

5. If you want to learn a professional skill, the supervisors here are all very willing to teach.

6. You can apply for overtime pay.

1. Basically, the system is based on seniority. If you think the people above you have poor working abilities, there is a very high chance you will have no other opportunity to turn things around.

2. The person in charge changes directions from one day to the next. A policy they asked you to implement a few days ago may later become the reason they give you trouble, or they may overhaul everything and leave you at a loss.

3. Employees’ personal plans are not respected. When duties are reassigned or important policies change, despite the flat organizational structure, subordinates are not necessarily informed in advance or invited to discuss the matter together.

4. The person in charge claims that the company encourages employees to pursue learning opportunities, but sometimes, even if you pursue further education independently and express interest in taking on a specific position, you still cannot successfully obtain an opportunity to participate.

5. Sometimes interns are overtrained, while training for full-time employees is rather limited. If you want to learn and grow, think twice before applying.

6. The reward and punishment system for full-time employees is unclear. Employees without ability can still be promoted once they have enough seniority and are well protected, while capable employees are not treated well.

7. The leadership cannot lead by example and also shows some degree of educational discrimination (not having attended graduate school is treated as equivalent to being uneducated). No matter how many additional skills you have or how capable you are, employees with the same educational background receive roughly the same salary—an across-the-board equalization.

8. The promotion review system is claimed to be rigorous, but in fact it is full of loopholes. Sometimes an assistant is reviewing another assistant; responsibilities increase, but the salary does not necessarily increase accordingly.

9. The company provides no incentives, such as allowances, for self-improvement, yet it subtly pressures employees to study on their own to obtain certifications or to continue their education, and then presents their achievements as something the company helped them accomplish.

10. Benefits quietly decrease while the required workload quietly increases (no snack cabinet, no drinks, no MVP, monthly deep cleaning, inconvenient garbage disposal, weekly duty rotations, and entering strange forms or SOPs).

11. Learning resources are unstable. Training courses may suddenly be reduced or become too company-specific; they come and go, and basically depend entirely on the leadership’s mood.

12. Many of the systems and processes are cumbersome and meaningless.

13. Capable employees are overworked.

14. The leaders are very childish. Their behavior is generally easy to read, but because they are childish, they are especially troublesome when they throw a tantrum.

15. Overall turnover is fairly high. If you want to know why, you can come and try it for yourself.

Having said all that, to be fair, this is actually a good place for recent graduates. You can generally leave work on time, genuinely learn things, and the salary is not too bad. If you can turn a blind eye to the injustices mentioned above, you are genuinely quite welcome to join.

They show a reasonable amount of respect for interviewees.

I was a recent graduate participating in campus recruiting. The company's interview process had two stages; the second was said to be an interview with the CEO. At first, I thought it would be a waste of time, and it really was a waste of time ==

The CEO asked exactly the same questions as the junior manager in the first interview. The only difference was that, at the end, the CEO asked—in a somewhat aggressive and rude tone, as if insisting that I answer "I will definitely show up for work"—whether I was sure I would accept the offer.

They also didn't clearly explain the salary. I thought HR would discuss the exact salary and benefits with me after the second interview, but that didn't happen. They simply sent me an offer letter with none of that information and said I had to reply confirming that I would definitely show up for work before they would tell me my salary and benefits？？

How am I supposed to make a decision when I don't know anything? I replied and told them that they should at least provide the basic information so I could compare it with my other offers, right? They then sent an HR representative who couldn't explain things clearly and had no position of her own, merely relaying messages, to give me a bunch of nonsense about why they couldn't let me know the salary and benefits. After I replied with an explanation of my position, she immediately said she would provide the information later. It felt like they had assumed from the start that a student wouldn't push back. They didn't expect me to object, so HR immediately backed down. I have no idea what they were doing—it was extremely unprofessional.

Reasonably respectful toward interviewees

I was a recent graduate participating in a campus recruitment event. The company's interview process consisted of two rounds; the second was said to be an interview with the CEO. At first, I thought it would be a huge waste of time, and it really was ==

The CEO asked exactly the same questions as the junior manager in the first interview. The only difference was that, at the end, the CEO asked in a somewhat aggressive and rude tone, as if they expected me to answer that I was "definitely going to show up for work."

They also did not clearly explain the salary. I thought HR would discuss the finalized salary and benefits with me after the second interview, but they didn't. They directly sent me an offer letter with none of that information and said I had to reply confirming that I would definitely show up for work before they would tell me my salary and benefits??

I replied with my position, and she immediately said she would provide the information later. It felt like they had initially counted on a student not arguing back. They clearly didn't expect me to raise an objection, and HR immediately backed down. I have no idea what they were doing—extremely unprofessional.

Colleagues are easy to get along with

1. Salary (including labor and health insurance):

Remember to ask for your pay stub when you receive your salary. After all, the person in charge is very busy, so this is often done inconsistently. Oh, and if you transition from an internship to a full-time position, remember to check your labor and health insurance application to make sure it complies with the Labor Standards Act during the month you become a full-time employee. I heard they might accidentally forget to make the adjustment.

Also, salary adjustments are not made every year! Don't misunderstand the boss!

2. Promotions:

Don't think about it for now—it's a small company, after all :) There are plenty of people who have worked here for several years but are still titled assistants.

3. Working hours & overtime applications:

It depends on the department~ Usually, new hires receive joint training, followed by some assignments. The boss sincerely hopes you won't do them during working hours! After all, it's about learning, so you should improve yourself on your own!

Whether you can apply for overtime, you should first ask your supervisor what they think, because once you submit it, the boss will be very concerned ^^

4. Job content:

The boss hopes to establish systems and expand the business, so every department has to work hard for the systems and fill out all kinds of forms. Highly recommended for those of you who enjoy administrative chores.

5. Getting along with colleagues:

Most colleagues are easy to get along with :)

6. One last note: the boss will share everyone's hardships—oh no, I mean, make everyone share the boss's hardships.

In this great pandemic era, remember to negotiate for your salary and year-end bonus. Don't be afraid of being called in for a meeting!

To anyone currently working here or preparing to join the company, remember: You are great! Never doubt your abilities!
