Workplace reviews and discussion: 台灣快密刀科技有限公司

1.Over very quickly (?

The following describes the process and my experience that day. It was a group interview.

After arriving at the company on the day of the interview, we had to fill out a résumé and answer some questions, including whether we had a boyfriend/girlfriend, when we planned to get married, whether we had any loans, our family members’ occupations, and questions about the relationship between the sales position and the company. However, there were limited seats, so we had to squeeze around a small table with the other applicants to complete everything.

After finishing the documents above, we were assigned to a meeting room on the second floor. We had to walk up the stairs at the back of the company, which reeked of cigarette smoke. QQ

There were also slightly too few seats in the meeting room. After watching a rather old-fashioned corporate image video, the supervisor came out and began describing the company’s size, the products it sold, and the machines we would mainly be promoting after joining. The supervisor said that the company’s lubricant was currently ranked first in the industry and that it was the only distributor in Taiwan, allowing it to set its own prices because it had a monopoly on the market. They also said that if measured by the company’s scale and headcount, its performance was even better than TSMC’s, that many employees had come from the tech industry, that the company did not often recruit, and that many people worked there until retirement, blah blah.

They later mentioned that the salary depended on how many machines were sold and that there was no upper limit on bonuses, but they did not clearly explain the base salary or allowances.

I originally thought we would introduce ourselves one by one afterward, but the supervisor simply asked, “Does anyone have any other questions?” There were about eight or nine candidates that day. I also actively asked questions, but ultimately still received a silent rejection, haha. I have no idea what standards they use to select applicants. XD

Afterward, they took us around for a look, showing us the factory at the back and having internal employees explain the functions of the machines. Then they dismissed everyone and told us to go home and wait for notification.

Personal thoughts: If the purpose was merely to have us transcribe or complete those documents, I think they could have sent them by email for applicants to complete beforehand, rather than making people travel all the way to the company, fill them out, and then listen to a lengthy presentation. If there was no need to hear each applicant speak or test their ability to respond to changing situations, the selection could have been completed at home, right? = =
