It’s not the work-life balance environment that everyone expects. - Anonymous employee Kingsoft Employee Review

1. The company deliberately sets up two identical departments, such as two AI teams, to create internal competition, making the work environment highly competitive. 2. The same project is often assigned to at least two people, leading to duplicate work and unhealthy competition. 3. The company adopts an OKR management system with excessively high and sometimes unrealistic goals. Although they claim OKRs are not KPIs, managers still blame employees when these unrealistic targets are not met. 4. During interviews, managers claim that employees don’t work overtime and that they don’t encourage overtime. However, the assigned workload makes overtime unavoidable. 5. Managers say they encourage open communication and don’t expect employees to accept every task assigned to them. They claim they want employees to express interest in specific projects, but when employees do so, managers react negatively and resort to manipulative tactics (PUA). 6. The company is short-sighted. Some projects require more than a year to implement, but the company considers that too long and expects results within just a few months.
