Workplace reviews and discussion: 沅亨興業股份有限公司

This post was submitted by a user and reflects their personal experience or opinion. The publication date is not an employment or interview date.
The company was established fairly recently, so it feels quite new. Since the office furnishings, desks, chairs, computers, and other equipment are new, they are quite comfortable to use.
Before the interview, applicants are asked to take a math and logic test. Since the position is R&D drafting assistant, there is also a practical test: applicants are given a part drawing and asked to use SolidWorks to create a 3D model. The job posting on the employment website says that CAD and SolidWorks will be used to assist with drafting, but in practice, the work only uses SolidWorks.
Because I was not familiar with operating SolidWorks, the interviewer simply said, “Then I guess that’s it,” and ended the interview. The company did not explain the benefits or what work items I would be responsible for after joining. The applicant spent time traveling to the interview, taking the test, filling out personal information, and completing the practical test, and the interview itself took an hour and a half. Even if an applicant does not meet the qualifications, I hope the company can be a little more polite.
As an additional suggestion to applicants, be sure to familiarize yourself with SolidWorks. You can take the CAD section mentioned on the recruitment website with a grain of salt—the main software used is SolidWorks. I was unclear about the training process, so I told the interviewer that I would need some time to get up to speed. When I said that I would not be suitable if they needed someone who could contribute immediately, the interviewer simply said, “Then I guess that’s it.”
Also, regarding an assistant converting 2D drawings into 3D models, which is different from the usual process of an engineer creating a 3D file for an assistant to handle in 2D, I am somewhat puzzled: Is this position called an assistant but actually involves an engineer’s work?
The practical test was fairly demanding, since it required drawing a complete 3D model. I am also curious whether the finished drawing will ultimately be used. If so, would the intellectual property belong to the applicant or to your company?
