Couldn't really tell~
But there weren't any particularly obvious drawbacks.
First, let me talk about this interview experience:
Interview:
The company makes medical equipment, mainly products related to first aid. It has its own factory in Wugu.
At the beginning, the interviewer asked me to introduce myself in Chinese and asked questions about my previous experience (none of them were very difficult; they were all based on things I had written on my résumé).
After they had asked about everything, they began an English translation and oral test, which was divided into two parts.
For the first part, they gave me a sheet of paper and asked me to read the sentences on it aloud and translate them immediately (I found this part very difficult because there were lots of inverted sentences).
For the second part, they asked me to improvise a sales pitch for any product, with the interviewer acting as the customer. But I found this part easier than the sentences; people who have worked in international sales should be fine. If you really don't know what to say, just find something at random to practice with after reading this post.
Work schedule:
9:00–18:00, with a one-hour lunch break from 12:00–13:00.
Company benefits:
I asked for a salary of 38,000, and they didn't say anything.
There may not necessarily be bonuses for the three major holidays; they might be gift boxes or something similar instead.
Business trips abroad come with allowances and compensatory leave.
Allowance: The allowance for one overseas exhibition is NT$10,000. For example, if two people go to an exhibition, the allowance is 10,000/2 = 5,000 per person. Accommodation and meal expenses are reimbursed based on actual costs.
Compensatory leave: One day for Europe and the Americas, and half a day for Asia.
For example, if you go on a business trip to the United States and return home on Saturday, you only need to return to the office on Tuesday morning (Sunday is already a day off, and the company lets you take Monday as compensatory leave. But I think this is really just moving Saturday's day off to Monday).
Under the same conditions, if you go on a business trip to Asia, you would return to the office on Monday afternoon.
In addition, performance bonuses and year-end bonuses are paid together.
That's about it.
