Workplace reviews and discussion: 誠品股份有限公司

No advantages at all

During the interview, an IT manager asked what type of work I wanted to pursue in the future. I answered that I was interested in infrastructure-related work, and the manager said, “How can you do infrastructure work if you don’t have a CCNA?”

I said I hadn’t taken the CCNA because I didn’t think it was particularly valuable. Unexpectedly, he said that whenever someone said anything about CCNA, he would get very upset: “If you don’t have a CCNA, don’t comment on how good or bad the CCNA is. If you’re capable, go get it first and then talk about it.” I was only trying to express that the CCNA’s value was relatively limited, but he reacted so strongly. I felt that he was a rather extreme manager, so it was probably for the best that I wasn’t hired.

Regarding the HR department:

I heard nothing for a month after the interview. When I emailed to ask about the status, they only sent a rejection letter the next day. What I mean is that although Eslite is a large and well-known brand, the managers and HR staff there did not seem to respect people very much, which tarnished the brand.
