The most unprofessional interview experience I've ever had.

Three middle-aged men came in for my interview. They outright expected me to interview in Mandarin. I could do that, sure, but that just informed me that this company is full of nepotism.

Then, one stepped out for a call and never came back. The second guy was nice and very honest about the job itself and potential OT. Then the third guy just berated me, virtue signaling me as a whole of Gen Z being lazy, leaving work on time just to go home and play video games, hang out with girlfriends instead of being loyal to the job.

What do these imbeciles really expect? If all they want is to offer me a pay that's 20% lower than the average San Jose tech industry, I'm leaving after I finish everything, or else offer an hourly pay with standard OT rules. Very typical Asian company work-life culture.

After the interview, all the production techs were out on break, and nearly half of them used cigarettes. That definitely tells something. The interviewer asked me to follow up with HR regarding the take-home assessment for this position. But based on my experience, I'm not going to pursue this opportunity, or this company as a whole.

Company's financial integrity issue already showed on the stock crash back in mid-2024. I hope Nvidia drops this company as their partner.

Are you comfortable with overtime, often 12-hour working days and possibly coming in during weekends?
