Workplace reviews and discussion: 美食映象整合行銷顧問股份有限公司

The restroom and the environment looked nice.

However, the space was built with corrugated metal sheets, and it was winter when I interviewed, so it was very cold.

I interviewed there a few years ago, so I don’t know whether they still use the same process now.

First, there was a mass screening interview, with multiple positions being interviewed for at once. There seemed to be around 30 or 40 people in total that time, making it feel like a competitive interview and giving the illusion that the company was very capable. After entering and filling out the forms, all the interviewees were taken into a conference room to watch a video introducing the company. Next came self-introductions and questions from some interviewers. The strangest part was that they wanted to examine your fingerprints. I don’t remember the details, but in short, their boss was very superstitious about this and believed it was an accurate way to find employees (or “slaves”).

This first stage eliminated at least half of the people (older applicants and those with children to support were eliminated). At the time, I was still naively happy when I received the phone call notifying me about the second interview. For the second interview, you had to wear formal attire, prepare a PowerPoint presentation introducing yourself, and choose a background BGM track to play while presenting. Afterward, the company would directly announce the list of people formally hired and explain their employment conditions to everyone: no base salary (everything depended on how many projects you received), no labor or health insurance (you had to figure it out yourself through the guild), a commission-based system (you only got paid when a client chose your proposal), flexible working hours (with no upper limit on working hours), and competitive bids (competing with colleagues by pitching against one another for the same project). After hearing all that, I was completely stunned. There wasn’t even labor or health insurance or a base salary. When I was leaving, the administrative staff member kept trying to persuade me, saying things like, “I think you’re very suitable for this job—please think it over,” and “Let’s work hard for the company together.” Looking back, I was really too naive at the time. A company like this isn’t even worth hesitating over, although I ultimately still declined XD

Today I received another interview invitation from them, which brought back these memories, so I couldn’t help searching again. I found that they had even paid someone to write a promotional interview article for them—truly outrageous. I’m sharing the promotional article’s URL below:
