Workplace reviews and discussion: 3點1刻_石城實業股份有限公司

None

In September, I applied for the Digital Marketing Specialist position at this company.

The first interview was with a Ms. Lin.

Her title was Executive Assistant to the General Manager, and she seemed to be the owner’s wife.

Afterward, the discussion went very well. During the conversation, she mentioned that a group of employees had resigned.

The following week, they notified me that I had been accepted.

Because they had not explained the bonus calculation method during the interview that day, Ms. Lin asked me to come in on a certain day to hear how the bonuses were calculated.

She also asked me to bring two headshots and my diploma so they could create my employee records.

Later, on the day I went to hear about the bonuses, I listened to the explanation.

I then told her that I needed some time to consider it,

After all, I was comparing three other companies at the same time.

Ms. Lin replied that they needed to submit my information to the general manager for review and gave some other reasons (I honestly did not understand what other information they still needed).

She required me to tell them by the next day whether I was interested in starting work.

I informed her according to her timeline that I was willing to start work.

During the phone call, I was very confused: hadn’t you already said that I had been accepted?

What are you waiting for now? What you should be waiting for is my answer about whether I want to join the company, right?

I do not understand what you are waiting for your general manager to do.

Later, they tactfully told me that they would contact me by Friday.

I was already quite unhappy at that point. You were the ones who said I had been accepted.

What else was I supposed to wait for? I truly do not understand. If you were not sure whether to hire me,

why deceive job seekers like this?

In order to accept your job offer, I turned down or put off the other three companies.

In return, you played me, because you did not contact me at all on Friday!

This company seems extremely terrible. For its own convenience and to make screening candidates easier,

it tells job seekers they have been accepted in a deceptive manner, apparently to tie up candidates’ time while the company decides whom to hire.

Then, once the company decides whom it wants to hire, it does not notify candidates within the timeframe it promised.

I strongly advise other job seekers not to interview or work at this company.

I believe the comments below are enough to advise you not to join!

Regarding the salary adjustment and other things mentioned during the first interview, after reading the comments below, I am very glad I did not join!
