Workplace reviews and discussion: 王文楷建築師事務所

None

People who did not major in architecture-related fields are probably not suitable.

I applied for an education and training administration position, but when I arrived, it turned out to be a general administrative position.

You need to know drafting software and planning, and perhaps the software taught in architecture programs, cross-analysis, and so on.

If you are interested, they will also give you an interview assignment and ask you to email it back.

They say it is to test your planning and administrative abilities (they did not mention whether you would be paid if they used the work).

You are only officially hired if they are satisfied with it.

The three-month probationary period pays NT$21,009, the rate for a fresh graduate.

They indirectly imply that you must show passion for the job (overtime under a responsibility-based system, with overtime pay merely empty talk).

If there is something you do not know, you have to pursue additional training outside on your own (with no subsidy).

They also have a very poor opinion of young people today and of those whose educational qualifications are insufficient.

They constantly put you down and expect you to accept low pay.

They think that people with strong subservience who are willing to accept low pay are the good ones.

It is very easy to leave the interview feeling furious.

You need high EQ to get through the interview, and enough subservience to get hired.
