Three main groups: 1. Equipment assembly 2. Inspection and I/O testing of equipment 3. On-site equipment installation and testing

Impressions: Approximately 1.5 months of training, using a one-on-one senior-junior mentoring system. Profit-sharing bonuses are paid every January and July; each payout is equivalent to 6 months' salary.
Therefore, in addition to the regular 12 months' salary, you can receive an extra 12 months' salary per year. Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival bonuses are a little over 3,000 to 4,000, since they are distributed together with the profit-sharing bonuses.
There are performance-based bonuses from two evaluations each year. Surplus profits are distributed as gift vouchers. There are welfare committee activities and holiday gifts. Within two years, employees must independently obtain a Japanese-language certificate at the N2 level; within three years, they must independently obtain a Japanese-language certificate at the N3 level, etc.
Overtime is routinely required, at least until 8 or 9 p.m.; working until midnight also occurs. Saturday overtime is routine, and Sunday work is also possible, but Monday will be taken as a day off, under the previous Labor Standards Act's one regular day off and one flexible rest day system.
In addition to assembling equipment, employees must test and install equipment and learn about various fields, such as pumps, optoelectronic panels, LCDs, semiconductors, etc.
Business trips are routine, currently mainly to Mainland China. Employees must be stationed in Mainland China for 1–2 years; each return to Taiwan lasts approximately 1–2 weeks.
I haven't had the second interview yet, so I don't know.
