I’ve never understood why the HR people always see “not asking questions about the company” or “not demonstrating knowledge about the company” as such a red flag.
Once I did an online interview process were they had a whole video and slideshow explaining about the company history and culture and the employees were saying about how it was a position for people who “truly believed in the mission of the company”.
And then they had a quiz about it.
They truly want a cult. Fuck em.
I worked at Asus as a software developer for a while, had ti do a whole ass course on the history of the company. With unskippable videos and a questionnaire after as well. Pretty sure that took the better part of a day.
I only worked on the internal systems that really don’t have anything to do with the actual products Asus makes.
Are they bad? I have a plethora of ASUS devices and they haven’t blow up yet. My TUF laptop in particular seems to be decently built, atleast with the shit tier standards of my country
Researching the company used to be a thing you did when selecting a career/lifetime position.
… Since that doesn’t happen anymore, I couldn’t give any less of a shit about what your company is all about. I can do thing, you want to pay me to do thing. It’s as simple as that. All the rest of this crap, I just don’t have the time, effort or shits to give.
You would understand if you understood the mindset of HR employees. To them, you are joining a life mission, not just a job. And they have a plan for your life so it fits the company objectives. Super great. Except no.

They want cultists though. Easier to exploit

ASUS does seem to care more about their name than the quality of…
of anything they output

Not to mention, they could already be familiar with the company.
Yeah… I’m not gonna be asking the stuff I already found answers to via an internet search.
