The HR team is very excellent.

They explain everything about the company in great detail.

The compensation and benefits seem fairly decent (in Taichung).

HR may initially paint an overly rosy picture to give interviewees hope.

After you finish the test,

the department manager takes over the interview

and starts trying to devalue you.

No matter how well you did on the test,

they start saying that your salary expectations are higher than those of applicants with similar qualifications.

Then they start giving you a hard time.

They keep asking, “How would an expert design this?”

“How would an expert write this?”

I was confused.

Why not just ask that directly in the first place?

Was spending so much time at the beginning just a waste of everyone’s time?

It feels like there is quite a big gap in understanding between HR and the department manager.
