As soon as I sat down, I was asked to fill out some information, and then they took my portfolio away. While I was filling out the form, I saw a picture of an owl with instructions beside it saying to refer to the image and draw an animal design. When I asked whether I was supposed to draw a logo, they said it was just an image, not a logo. It really left me unsure what they wanted. After a while, when the interview began, they immediately said, “The things our company makes are completely different from the things you worked on before” (with a very flippant expression). “Can you handle it?” They flipped through my portfolio very casually, without wanting to hear my self-introduction or ideas. When I explained that I was willing to learn, the interviewer looked troubled, as if saying, “The things you worked on before were very simple. We do many different things, and ours are completely different from yours” (giving the impression of being very conceited). When asked why I left my previous job, I answered honestly and explained that I had been there for a long time and wanted to change my work environment. The interviewer then frowned... The interview experience was very unpleasant, and I felt disrespected.
The interview questions were very easy to fill out
1. It’s not like a design company; it’s more like a print shop....
2. The company doesn’t have its own website (the interviewer said: “Because it involves some patents, we’re still organizing things and haven’t put it online yet.”)
3. The interview questions were way too HR-oriented... they had absolutely nothing to do with design... There was only one design question, and it was ridiculous:
Question: Please draw an animal, referring to the logo on the left....@@
4. I asked the interviewer, “Could I take a look at the web pages designed by your company?” They gave me a very confused look... They seemed really reluctant even to let me look at some of your company’s design work, and asked me, “What do you want to do with it?”
5. Position interviewed for: Senior Graphic Designer. I asked for at least 35K, but when I said 29K, they looked troubled.....
6. I requested not to work overtime, and the response was: “If the client sends you the files late, working overtime isn’t something I can control. The latest you’d work would be until 10 p.m., haha.” I said that when files are sent at the last minute like this, I usually handle them the next day at work, and the interviewer looked troubled again.
Summary: If you’re going there to build up design experience, I highly recommend this place. I guarantee that in less than two months after joining, you’ll learn how to give up on aesthetics.
