Good thing I didn’t get the job—the interviewer was super polite!!! (Sarcasm)

Throughout the interview, they kept asking questions unrelated to my expertise.

Question: What is the syntax for modifying data in MongoDB?

Me: Probably something like update; I’d need to check the documentation for the detailed specifications.

Interviewer: You need to look at the documentation to write code? Then why don’t I just hire Google to come to work instead?

Question: Please explain MongoDB’s architecture and operating principles.

Me: Um... It’s a NoSQL system, and the returned data format is JSON.

Interviewer: According to the literature on Wikipedia... blah blah blah blah blah.

Me: May I ask whether knowing these things would actually help me in practice with this job? If they’re not useful, why should I study the theory? As long as I can use it and make it work, isn’t that what matters?

Interviewer: Hmm... Then we’ll wait and notify you.

Impressions:

A waste of time—they asked questions unrelated to my professional expertise.

They also seemed to enjoy humiliating interviewees and were narrow-minded.

When I watched the movie "The Great Buddha+" and saw Kevin Huang Qiwén, the owner of Globar Cultural & Creative Arts (the Buddha statue factory), I felt a very, very strong sense of familiarity.

When I saw a Facebook page called Damn Boss, I felt a very, very strong sense of familiarity. It feels like you know every boss being criticized there, and you have personally experienced every incident being criticized.

After getting to know the boss, I realized that Sean Lien is truly both kind and intelligent.

Make sure that labor and health insurance is provided, and that the employer’s share must not be deducted from the employee’s wages.

When negotiating your salary with the boss, make sure to establish a written contract in black and white, so that the salary you receive does not differ from what you remember agreeing to.

Benefits, profit-sharing, and bonuses that are not established in a written contract are not guaranteed. Even if there is a verbal promise, there is nothing you can do if they refuse to pay and claim that it never happened.

Always record your conversations with the boss. If you are insulted, threatened, or intimidated, recordings can serve as evidence in a lawsuit.

Before starting work, read the Labor Standards Act carefully, especially Article 14.

Never follow the boss’s orders to do anything illegal, including using pirated software.

A company that even uses pirated Office software has no future.

While employed, it is best to keep your résumé active on job-search websites. Take leave to attend interviews whenever you get the chance, and switch jobs directly if you find a higher-paying position.

The company is in a good location, close to the MRT station.

The company was formerly known as Qianxun International Co., Ltd. Someone previously shared their experience, which you can refer to in the article below. The situation really is more or less like that.

Additional information:

1. The company’s compensation and benefits are poor. No one can guarantee that you will definitely receive benefits during the three major holidays or an annual bonus, because usually no one stays for more than a year, so it is unclear whether these are provided every year. The leave system complies with the Labor Standards Act. Other than what I mentioned above, everything else listed on 104 is available only on paper and can basically be considered nonexistent.

2. The company has a very high turnover rate. Nearly 40 people left within three years, and there was once a period when 7 or 8 people left within a little over a month. Someone who has stayed for a year is already considered a very senior employee.

3. It is a small company with fewer than 10 employees, with no real systems or regulations. It is common for benefits to suddenly be introduced and then immediately cut.

4. The job responsibilities are very miscellaneous. For example, programmers may also have to conduct market research or do planning-related work, while employees responsible for planning may have to take on design or general affairs duties. In short, you often have to handle whatever the boss happens to think of.

5. The boss treats people very impolitely, yells at employees, uses extremely harsh language, and often makes sarcastic or insulting remarks.

6. Employees are required to bring their own computers, but there is no allowance or reimbursement.

7. The boss often makes grand promises, while work progress and objectives are unclear. It is difficult to get things done, yet you are constantly criticized, and the boss nitpicks over matters that could clearly be handled very simply.

8. The atmosphere at the company is strange, often with a palpable sense of pressure.
