A good place for self-cultivation
1. Very little communication; most things are handled behind closed doors, and decisions are usually made by one person.
2. Raises and promotions are reserved for certain people and depend solely on whether they have a good relationship with management.
3. Because they cannot find people and keep the budget extremely tight, they only look for cheap outsourcing, resulting in disastrous quality.
4. There is a lack of planning: whenever someone thinks of something, it must be done immediately, with no follow-up arrangements. As a result, the department often runs into problems and starts randomly pulling people in to put out fires.
5. Outsourcing hours are frequently cut, and quite a few outsourcing vendors have already been replaced.
6. Supervisors often say, “You don’t need to explain; I understand everything,” and require outsourced staff to produce results without conducting research. This is extremely disrespectful of professional expertise.
7. There is never time to optimize the system architecture. The versions are already outdated, and optimization is always pushed to the very end.
8. Old and new systems are interconnected without sufficient consideration. Something is often fixed on one side while another issue is forgotten elsewhere.
9. SOPs are never established, yet supervisors expect subordinates to act autonomously, forgetting that an alarm can only go off after it has first been set.
10. The team has entrenched senior employees. If you propose improvements or suggestions that would take up their time, they will block you with all kinds of excuses.
11. There is a great deal of room for subjective manipulation in performance evaluations. Documentation is merely for appearances, while KPIs are assigned based on management’s mood.
12. When it comes to technologies or solutions, they do not consult people with relevant expertise; the supervisor makes the selection.
Chat with them and let them know about your experience, and you can get in.
If no one above keeps an eye on the projects you are responsible for, it is basically a laissez-faire situation: you do not need to do anything and can just wait until the end of the workday.
It takes a long time to fill vacancies.
Engineers are forced to take on roles such as PM, SA, QA, and designer.
Managers say they respect professional expertise on the surface, but in practice, everything has to be done according to their instructions.
They often wait until a project reaches the acceptance stage before expressing their personal opinions and requesting adjustments.
This leaves insufficient time for development and testing, resulting in a poor user experience.
Does the company’s environment looking impressive count as an advantage?
During the interview, the female chairperson nominally affiliated with a subsidiary of the Breeze Group asked questions that included whether I currently have a boyfriend, what kind of work he does, and which company he works for.
Do you currently plan to get married? Do you plan to have children?
It was rife with workplace gender discrimination and made me extremely uncomfortable.
All of these questions fall within the scope of “inappropriate interviews.”
