If you're considering a position with HoyoCreators, I strongly advise against it for several reasons.
Firstly, the company's disorganization and lack of professionalism are staggering. They show no regard for a candidate's time or effort. Expect delays, last-minute requests for calls, and a general lack of respect for your schedule. In my case, it took over four months just to go through their process.
Secondly, a simple YouTube search reveals the abysmal quality of their creator partnerships. The flood of negative feedback from creators about the program speaks volumes about the company's inability to manage relationships effectively.
Moreover, the fact that they've been unable to fill this position for over eight months, despite a job market that is currently favorable to employers, is a major red flag. This clearly indicates underlying issues within the company that deter potential candidates.
Additionally, their hiring process is deeply flawed. They require candidates to have an AR 35 in-game level just to be considered for an interview. The first interview is with someone who speaks English as a second language and can be difficult to understand, adding another layer of frustration.
During the interview process, expect a one-sided interrogation. They will probe for insights about your previous company, projects, and KPIs—information that should remain confidential under any tech company's NDA. Meanwhile, they offer no transparency about their own operations, KPIs, or challenges. This lack of reciprocity makes the entire process feel exploitative.
Furthermore, they will ask you to apply your insights to generate ideas for their creator campaigns, going as far as to say, "I'll probably use those ideas in the future." This suggests that they are more interested in extracting free consultancy than genuinely considering you for the role.
In conclusion, engaging with HoyoCreators is a waste of time. Don't let them take advantage of your hard-earned knowledge and insights without offering anything of value in return. Your time and expertise deserve better respect and appreciation.
