Workplace reviews and discussion: 洋豐股份有限公司

None

(1) The interview was scheduled for 10:00. I found Yang Feng at 9:30 using the address, but the security guard stopped me outside the gate. Most absurdly, he did not know that Cheng Hong International Co., Ltd. was their company, repeatedly insisting that they were Yang Feng Co., Ltd. He then said they would not let me in and told me to go back, saying he had not received any information and did not know anything, etc.

(2) At 10:30, the deputy manager messaged me asking me to come for the interview, so I had no choice but to go back again. This time, the security guard also panicked and led me inside the factory, but then a supervisor(?) drove the security guard back out. It turned out that the supervisor inside had also not received any notice that someone was coming for an interview and told the security guard that he had to clarify things before bringing anyone in, so we awkwardly walked back out the main gate.

The security guard was extremely afraid of taking responsibility. He secretly used his phone to take a photo of me (I could only pretend not to mind =_=), then kept sending LINE messages to confirm things? It also felt like he did not dare call his superior. In the end, it was still the same: he did not know, had not received any information, and told me to go back.

(3) Weeds were growing everywhere outside the factory, and not even half a car was parked there(?). If there had not been a security guard stubbornly blocking people, I would have thought it was a traditional manufacturing company that was closed on Sunday. It felt nothing like a factory, more like...... (about to collapse?).

(4) I took a few glances inside the factory. It was very messy, cluttered, and dark(?). There were 4–5 people sitting in the middle, and I had no idea what they were doing (they did not appear to be working). There were also three reclining chairs set up (for sleeping?).

(5) I contacted them using the phone number provided by the deputy manager, but no one answered or called back at all (although they did reply to emails?). It also felt quite strange.

In summary, at 5:00 this afternoon, they emailed me asking me to go for another interview tomorrow. The interview process felt too exhausting; I had already made the trip twice, so I gave up -> politely declined.
