Workplace reviews and discussion: QSAN_廣盛科技股份有限公司

I interviewed for a product manager position at a NAS company. There was no test at all; the interview with the supervisor started right away. That part felt pretty good. As someone without PM experience, I felt I could learn a lot. It sounded like the job covered everything from hardware and software project management to product marketing. The supervisor didn't ask any particularly tricky questions; instead, he kept asking me, "So, what other questions do you have?" (Very intriguing.)

After speaking with the supervisor, I then interviewed with the CEO. This was where I started to feel a little "under the weather."

At first glance, it sounded like a very experienced elder sharing his views on life, but you could hear the tendencies of an "old-school exploitative boss" everywhere.

I also felt that the CEO looked down on people a bit. My requested salary was based on adding NT$2,000 per month to my previous salary, but the CEO said, "Given your experience, even offering you the original figure would be a stretch." He even said, "For your previous job, I also think your boss paid you too much for that." He went on to say that if this kind of work were done overseas, anyone could do it, and that Taiwanese companies pay technical documentation engineers too much...

Also, when I asked about the company's technological advantages and how it competes with several major domestic companies, the CEO went around in circles and couldn't provide an answer. His answer was actually that the other major companies had also nearly gone under before and had only barely managed to survive. (I thought to myself, so what? What about your company?!!!) As for market share, judging from what the CEO said, it sounded like they were merely living off the scraps left over by the major companies...

BTW, regarding salary and benefits:

There is no guarantee of 14 months' pay, and leave follows the Labor Standards Act.
