The interview process at this company is truly disheartening and leaves much to be desired. I must caution against considering this company as a potential employer due to the toxic work environment it possesses. My experience during the interview was characterized by unprofessionalism, lack of transparency, and an overall negative atmosphere that left me feeling demoralized and disenchanted. Plus the interviewer is late and rude to me .

Behavioral Presentation

First, there was a survey where I had to record video answers to some questions. Then, I had an online interview on Teams, conducted in Mandarin. The interviewer seemed more focused on promoting their 'elite circle' idea than assessing my skills, and the job duties differed significantly from the posting. They offered a non-paid internship requiring sales targets, with commission-based pay. Visa sponsorship and official employment were contingent on hitting these targets. When I asked about my student visa's 20-hour work limit, they dismissed it as not a major issue. The whole setup felt questionable and potentially illegal.
