Workplace reviews and discussion: 亞瑞特數位社群行銷有限公司

The comments are very pertinent. It’s less likely to hurt if you prepare yourself mentally before going to the interview.

The HR representative has a sweet voice and is the only smiling woman in the company.

1. The interview time in the email sent by HR was one hour later than the time we discussed by phone. I went according to the interview time in the email, but HR called me on the way to ask why I hadn’t arrived yet, leaving me completely confused.

2. Although it is a marketing company, the office was unusually quiet—you could probably hear a pin drop.

3. The conference room was very bright and transparent, with no frosted film at all, so everyone could see who was being interviewed inside. Perhaps to save costs, the air conditioning was not turned on, making it very stuffy. HR first poured me a glass of water to help calm me down.

4. There were many handouts from the boss’s courses and books written by the boss on the conference room table (only interviewees were allowed to read them). The boss’s personal photos and videos also appeared on the website from time to time. It felt extremely centered on the boss and self-aggrandizing.

5. Before the interview, you are required to take a personality test. HR does not verify whether you completed it before the interview, but will ask whether you did it.

6. The interview was very short—about 15 minutes. They asked me to introduce myself, but before I even got to discuss my work, it felt like the other party was not interested in listening, and they ended the introduction.

7. They did not ask many professional questions during the interview. The interviewer did not look at me and kept averting their eyes while speaking. What left the deepest impression was the attempt to bargain down the salary.

8. Since they wanted to bargain down the salary, I naturally asked about the workload. They said a lot, and I interpreted the meaning as: clock in for work, but take responsibility after hours.

9. I asked what software and hardware are used at work. They emphasized that the company provides PCs, while employees who are accustomed to using Macs can bring their own. I asked about the software again, since marketing work so often requires image editing. They said the company has a “design engineer” who can help.

10. If necessary, there will be a second interview with the boss.
