Read the community guidelinesThe boss absorbs all the aggro.
The employees get along well and are very united.
Suitable as a short-term cram school for the workplace.
Job rotation is only for assessing personal suitability,
and cannot really be considered a benefit or advantage.
If you are looking for career development, you can come here to pad your résumé.
After two or three years of résumé padding, you can find a better job.....
However, what you learn here is not useful anywhere else,
but you will get a very competitive ticket of admission!!
1. There are too many veterans, and they do not know how to train newcomers.
2. Supervisors are effectively figureheads without real authority (most are relatives or close associates of the boss.....).
3. There are too many ineffective meetings, with too many participants who lack expertise.
4. Decision-makers often give misguided directions and do not value professional expertise.
5. When faced with problems that truly need to be solved, they choose to avoid the important issues and deal only with the trivial ones.
6. The job description often does not match the actual work.
(The interview often asks about things outside the professional requirements of the job..... It somewhat misses the point.)
7. The company's internal policies often reflect that it does not know what it wants; most of the work is in vain.
8. There are no KPIs or meaningful performance evaluations; bonuses are awarded entirely according to the boss's impression of your performance.
(But in fact, there are hardly any bonuses, and even the year-end bonus is given based on the boss's impression.)
9. Employees are often made to perform meaningless labor (moving offices, laying cables, repeatedly rearranging office seating).
10. There is a shortage of professional talent, and decision-making authority is not granted when bottlenecks arise.
(In plain language, you are expected to shoulder the blame for things that were beyond your control, and once you are blacklisted, you cannot clear your name.)
11. Management talent is nonexistent (all you need to do is please the boss).
12. They pay entry-level wages while expecting you to demonstrate the value of a senior executive.
13. They pile on additional responsibilities while expecting you to be grateful for the opportunity.
(But in fact, after the job rotation, it is more or less an indirect way of forcing you out....)
14. They expect you to work overtime but do not pay overtime wages.
15. You often receive text messages and orders from the boss after working hours.
16. Management has no real authority, so every personnel discussion is worth less than one sentence from the boss (in other words, talking more is pointless).
17. The boss at your company has extremely little regard for back-office and frontline employees, and even undermines the entire operating process.
18. Technical staff's projects cannot be approved or accepted (there are no standards, and projects are repeatedly changed without any clear purpose).
19. R&D funding is allocated based on who you are, not on your talent.
20. Benefits are practically nonexistent (whether the welfare committee does anything depends on whether a favored person is handling it).
21. There are too many projects developed in isolation, and their direction often loses focus.
22. The sales team's expertise needs improvement; customer needs and direction are somewhat out of step with the industry.
23. The air conditioners are merely decorative.
24. There is no salary adjustment system.
25. Emotional management is the norm (slamming the table during meetings, communicating loudly.... and so on).
After all that, what else do you expect me to say??
The only pro I can reluctantly think of is that the colleagues are easy to get along with.
Staff changes are frequent, and the position you interviewed for will usually change after you join the company. Only sales and production-line workers are generally not reassigned. The company moved to a new office building, but the work environment is not as good as expected. There are no real benefits, but plenty of activities that disturb employees. All of the above is the result of the boss making decisions based solely on personal preferences. Simply put, the boss has absolute authority. Finally, it is best to be careful about what you say and do at the company, as quite a few of the boss’s relatives and favorites work there.
Because the work is very varied and the boss often reassigns people to different positions, you may be able to learn different things.
Boss Li often curses at people for no reason, and petty people are highly favored within the company. (Old Li really likes employees to say useless flattering things.) If you work there, you should be mentally prepared to be randomly scolded and assigned unrelated duties. The company always pays assistant-level salaries while requiring non-assistant responsibilities. (For example, you might originally be hired to do R&D, but a month later be told to work on mechanical design, and a few months after that be told to handle sales. If a sales assistant does not want to switch to sales, they are told to resign, etc., etc.) The company often fires people arbitrarily. Luckily, I found another job last year—run for it~~~~
