Workplace reviews and discussion: 維雷特科技有限公司

Interview process:

The company is located in Xinyi District, and it is very convenient to take the MRT to Taipei City Hall or Xiangshan and walk there. The building is one where many offices are rented out on each floor. The door at the company entrance seems to require an employee card to unlock, so you have to knock to get in.

After entering the interview discussion room, you receive a full-stack test. There are quite a few questions, all in English, with a one-hour time limit, and it tests many ES6 concepts.

After the test, the two HR representatives show it to the manager and then come in to conduct the interview. They ask about your resume and areas of interest, and introduce the company. It is a company specializing in gambling-related projects, but it has no plant or financial operations in Taiwan, and they say it is legal, so there is no need to worry. During the process, the HR representatives take extensive notes and are very attentive. The interview lasts about 40 minutes, after which it is the engineers' turn to come in.

After the two engineers come in, they discuss the test. They point out which parts were written well and which parts could be improved, explaining the areas for improvement very clearly. They then ask how the projects in your portfolio were created to assess your programming fundamentals. After that, they mention that there will be a small assignment for me to take home.

The entire interview process takes two and a half hours. Throughout the process, they repeatedly emphasize that they are a legitimate software company and that the company places great importance on whether new hires can be developed. Even if someone's abilities are not particularly strong, they are very willing to train people they believe are worth developing.

The company has flexible working hours: 8:00–18:00 or 9:00–19:00, with a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break.

It feels like the job would often require working overtime. After the interview, they give you an assignment to take home, but it is unclear whether it is meant to test your abilities or to have job applicants help complete something needed internally.

I saw many comments online about the company having job applicants help solve internal problems. You may want to think it over, although the interview process itself was fairly pleasant.
