Workplace reviews and discussion: 悠達天下股份有限公司

None

- I received an interview invitation by email from HR, and I replied to the email (which included the hiring manager and HR) to confirm that I would attend the interview. However, on the day of the interview, the manager was very late. During the interview, I learned that the manager had not noticed the email they received and did not remember that an interview had been scheduled.

- The manager was very late on the day of the interview—approximately 40 minutes or more. When I arrived, the receptionist apologized and said that the manager would be at the company soon. I accepted that the manager had arrived late to work (some companies do have flexible working hours, although the manager should have been punctual on the day of an interview; I decided to be patient) and continued waiting. After waiting 15 minutes, I initially thought that I would wait another 15 minutes, then leave and suggest conducting the interview by video instead, or say that I no longer wanted to interview. However, five minutes later (20 minutes after I arrived), the receptionist came over again and said that the manager would arrive soon. I thought, “Okay, then I’ll wait.” I ended up waiting 40 minutes or more (I remember it was more than 40 minutes) before finally seeing the manager arrive very late on a scooter.

- It had not yet been decided whether this position would report to the interviewing manager or the general manager. There was only one interview round. It felt as though the job requirements and internal administrative processes were still very disorganized. Although this might not affect the work itself, combined with the critical issue that it had not yet been decided whom the position would report to, I recommend not taking the job.
