My journey with Kun Way Investment, a subsidiary of Kun Way Enterprise, showcased a stark contrast between an encouraging interview process and subsequent disheartening interactions with HR, accentuated by alarming regulatory oversights.
The process commenced on a high note, with an interviewer acknowledging my fit for a senior role, commending my qualifications against numerous candidates, and expressing satisfaction with my interview performance. This positive feedback set a promising tone, aligning with my 4+ years of investment banking experience and professional aspirations.
However, the initial optimism was quickly overshadowed by the subsequent dealings with the HR department. Despite the interviewer’s assurance and my evident qualifications, the role offered significantly diverged from what was discussed, both in seniority and compensation. The negotiation phase unveiled a starkly unprofessional demeanor from HR. My attempts at dialogue were met with rudeness and threats, suggesting I accept another job if it paid better, belittling my experience, and insinuating that I lacked the extraordinary talent necessary for post-confirmation increments. This behavior not only contradicted the positive interview feedback but also reflected a disconcerting lack of respect for potential contributions.
Compounding these issues was the revelation that Kun Way Investment lacks a CMSL (Capital Markets Services License), casting doubts on its regulatory compliance and potentially affecting future employability in the sector.
This experience illustrates a glaring discrepancy between the professional potential indicated by the interview and the reality of HR practices at Kun Way Investment. It raises concerns about the company's culture, respect for professionals, and regulatory standing. As a result, I advise potential candidates to thoroughly evaluate both the professional environment and the regulatory compliance of Kun Way Investment and its overarching entity, Kun Way Enterprise, before proceeding.
