Um, it seems there weren't any particularly good aspects.
I participated in Gogoro's first MA Program in 2019. After returning to NTU to attend the campus briefing, I was strongly attracted to the program itself. However, after doing some basic research, I roughly knew that this company's HR record was poor. I thought we should still give each other a chance, so I applied. After experiencing it firsthand, I was indeed extremely disappointed. The interview invitation email stated, “If you have any questions, feel free to contact me,” and at the end of the group interview, HR again said that we could contact them if we had any questions. In reality, I emailed them twice and never received a response. The first email asked what language should be used for the case study and oral presentation before the group interview. The second was sent on the stated deadline for the interview process, asking whether I had not qualified for an individual interview. I believe both were perfectly reasonable questions, so I do not understand why they refused to respond.
When applications closed, a mass email explained that due to the high number of applications, candidates who did not advance to the next stage would not be notified separately. However, after the group interview, they did not provide any information indicating that unsuccessful candidates would receive no notification. When I asked that day, I only received the vague response that “we will notify you after all group interviews have concluded.” According to the schedule posted on the official website, both the group and individual interviews should have already concluded, yet I received no notification. Therefore, I assume that candidates who did not enter the individual interview stage simply received no notification.
As an interviewee, I naturally hoped to receive at least a standard thank-you email so that the process could have a proper conclusion. After all, the self-introduction, application form, aptitude test, and case study together took a considerable amount of time and effort. Receiving no notification felt genuinely unpleasant.
However, compared with receiving no notification—which is simply the company's choice and not necessarily a matter of right or wrong—the aspect I found even less acceptable was HR's unwillingness to respond to emails. It made me feel that this team had completely failed to keep its promises or show interviewees basic respect. Whether this stemmed from the company's culture or the personal conduct of the responsible contact, it was unacceptable. I can only describe this interview experience as deeply disappointing. I hope that talented people interested in joining this brand will consider the matter carefully, and that those who can accept it will then bravely take on the challenge.
