Pros

1. The position applied for was designer, and the interview took place at an art gallery. The space was clean and bright.

2. Interviews were conducted one-on-one in the order of arrival. The situation at the time was not as crowded as described by previous interviewees; before I arrived, only five people were waiting. Those who had not yet been interviewed sat on chairs in the gallery and waited.

Cons

1. Judging by appearance, all the chairs at the site were occupied, and the space could probably accommodate only eight people. If, as mentioned in the reviews above, the company really planned to have so many people come for interviews at the same time, it should have scheduled and arranged the times properly instead of cramming interviewees together. Failing to give designers sufficient time and space to present their work is simply an unsuccessful way to conduct interviews. At the time, the interviewer was also scrolling through their phone. If one side cannot be fully focused, how can they properly listen to the design concepts behind the work?

2. During the interview, I was asked whether I could create the works shown on the company’s website. Since food packaging is an area I specialize in, I answered that it would not be a problem. The interviewer then asked when I could start work. Since I was unemployed at the time, I answered that I could start anytime. They then said that I could go straight upstairs and start working immediately. Although it sounded like I had been hired on the spot, they did not proactively tell me anything about the job duties or benefits. They only asked about my previous salary and then offered NT$30,000. Saying I could start work based solely on these two questions felt extremely perfunctory. Also, in my personal impression, the interviewer came across as frivolous. To notify me about whether I could start work, they asked for my LINE instead of giving me a business card. Put nicely, they were casual; put less nicely, they were careless. The interviewees who had finished before me were still waiting outside to ask when they would know the results. Apparently, they had not even proactively told them when they would receive a response about their applications.

3. Basic matters such as benefits, working hours, and the salary structure all had to be asked about by the interviewee; the interviewer would not proactively explain them.

4. The interviewer asked what my zodiac sign was. They were a Taurus, although I do not know what this question had to do with the job. Categorizing whether they liked a job applicant based solely on 12 personality types makes me wonder whether, after formally starting work, they would also want to compare our birth charts, haha.

5. Because I politely declined the request to start work immediately, they asked me to give them an answer the next day. I kept my promise and replied to their LINE message the following day, but it was read without a response. However, I did receive a phone call from one of their employees. I called back and directly told them that I would be unable to go, so I do not know whether they had been calling to ask about this matter.

Summary: Using LINE as the method of communication made the process feel informal, especially since I was not yet an official employee. I did not have much of an impression otherwise. The benefits information on 104 was written very briefly. Being told that I could go straight to work immediately did not make me happy; instead, it felt quite abrupt. They did not even ask whether I had other plans, which felt very disrespectful. At that point, I treated this company as a place to gain experience. If you just want to chat, you can go there.
