DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT IN WRITING BEFORE ACCEPTING THE POSITION. I normally do not do this type of thing but I feel obligated to warn others about this company. First, I was lied to by my recruiter about the CIP bonus, said it was 7%, it was more like 100 bucks per quarter, just one of the many things said to get me to leave my previous position. While this was a pretty bad, my manager lied about everything from hours I'd be working to the reason my predecessor left the company and everything in between, this was from the initial interview because she desperately needed someone to start and help her. I was told that month end close was 3 days and I would work until 8 or 9 for 2 of the days and then I'd get to leave early on 2 fridays per month to make up for this. In my 8 months with the company, I was only let off by 8 during my first month end and then this quickly transitioned into 8am until at least midnight but usually 1 or 2 am both days and no early leave and no overtime. Of course, this was my fault and nothing to do with my manager. I had to learn to do things by looking at my predecessors work and trying to figure out how she got her numbers, even though we were using a completely different erp system and my manager would get frustrated if I asked questions or if my work was not upto her standard, even if I didnt know what that was. Even if the staples were not correctly placed... there was no time for any other training. I was expected to be doing something every second of my time without a break, even if I was waiting for a report to load, I was expected to be utilizing that time to do something else. I always felt that I was being punished for not working overtime for free outside of the expected month end close and taking a lunch because my manager always worked late and ate at her desk. I was measured more by the time I worked than by the work I did. Like staying late meant you worked harder than everyone else. I was always measured against my predecessor who had years of experience from my first day and I was expected to do everything she could do without training, even coming from the completely other side of the industry. I was marked down on my performance review for not trying to build relationships with others but also marked down for socializing when I went for a bathroom break. Also marked down in EVERY other category, some I was aware of and the rest I was told that I shouldve been aware of. The list goes on and on and on but I think you get the point. When I finally worked up the nerve to talk to HR, I was told there is nothing they could do other than facilitate a conversation with my manager. I'm not sure if this started it or if my manager was working on this before hand but I was let go a month later, HR will always side with management. I was warned of this but at this point I no longer cared anymore. Working for yangfeng was easily the worst decision of my entire career and if they would have been honest from the beginning, I would have never worked for them in the first place. I had to learn the hard way, I hope you do not. Thankfully my termination was a blessing in disguise and I am 10x happier and just want to forget about the last 8 months as quickly as possible.
