Regarding the company overall, the points are as follows:
1. Extremely high turnover; they are constantly looking for people, and someone often resigns less than two months after joining....
2. During the interview, I asked whether I needed to sign a contract and about other preparations required before joining the company. At the time, they did not say that I had to bring my own computer or sign a contract requiring a minimum employment period of one year.
Only after joining did I find out that I had to bring my own laptop and sign a contract... The boss installed surveillance cameras because they were afraid employees would steal confidential information (then why not prepare company computers for employees to use? It was utterly speechless).
3. There are hardly any benefits.
The benefits include three days of leave every six months, I guess... (But this doesn't count as a benefit.)
4. Overtime exceeding half an hour is paid as overtime, and there is a limit on the number of overtime hours. Overtime beyond that limit is not paid, nor is compensatory leave provided.
In addition, you must submit an overtime application to the boss on the day of the overtime work, and you can only work overtime after the boss approves it (and the hours are monitored very strictly because the company considers overtime pay a huge expense).
Regarding management and senior leadership, the points are as follows:
1. Before receiving the job offer, I was actually very hesitant about whether to join. I had asked around about the company's reputation... well...
Only after joining did I learn that all of the company's original partners had left. Based on this, I inferred that there must have been serious problems.
And later, as expected....
2. The boss believes whatever the managers say (whether or not the managers are telling the truth, the boss believes them unconditionally), which also leads to the managers... well... dealing with whoever they want.
Regarding the company culture--
1. It's hard to say. If you want to experience what it is like to be two-faced, a smiling tiger, and someone who changes attitude faster than turning a page, you can give it a try.
2. The atmosphere appears lively on the surface, but in reality it isn't... See for yourself.
Regarding the company's character--
1. Since the topic of character has come up, there are some things I won't say much about...
One thing worth mentioning is that after an employee resigns, they will be smeared in various ways... Regardless of whether they actually did something, everything is blamed on the departing employee.
1. The colleagues are quite young on average (in their 20s to early 30s), and the atmosphere is harmonious.
2. The boss encourages employees to pursue self-improvement, and the company also provides subsidies.
3. There are always snacks to eat.
4. Work is relatively flexible; no one constantly watches to see whether you are slacking off.
1. I don't know whether it was intentional, but during the "interview" they never mentioned that I had to bring my own computer or sign a contract requiring a minimum commitment of one year. I thought I had simply missed it, but when I asked other colleagues, they all said they only found out on their first day of employment.
2. They call themselves a startup, but aside from training subsidies and snacks, there are hardly any benefits (there is no year-end bonus, and they even tout having three days of annual leave after six months⋯), nor is there much freedom. Many rules and ways of working are controlled by management, which is very old-fashioned and stingy.
3. Overtime only qualifies for overtime pay if it exceeds two hours. Overtime on holidays cannot be exchanged for money; you can only take compensatory time off.
1. A startup company with a lot of energy among colleagues.
2. Company managers encourage subordinates to attend relevant courses and training.
1. Since the company was newly established, two companies with different lines of business (a biomedical company and a uniform store) share the same office area. During working hours, customers of the other company occasionally come to discuss business, affecting work conditions.
2. Since these two companies share an administrative department, the biotechnology department was initially managed by senior managers from the uniform store. As the company's plans were just getting started, resources were not yet in place, and even the reimbursement process for the partner laboratory was still unclear. Managing a biotechnology and medical industry department with the mindset of a traditional industry led to many absurd practices.
3. Everyone in the entire company either graduated from the National Defense Medical Center or is the child of a relative. The seniority-based relationships among people there are very strong.
4. Of the three people who interviewed me, one was not actually employed by the company, yet still used company resources and represented the company at events. This person would also discuss with other employees the fact that they were interviewing at another company. Only four people in the entire company were actually employed.
5. Everyone lacked industry experience, internal communication was poor, and the managers leading the company were like headless flies.
