Workplace reviews and discussion: 億泰國際實業有限公司

None

After ringing the doorbell and entering, I was left waiting at the entrance for a while. Then, in a fluster, the receptionist led me into an office to take a test.

The interviewer was a Senior Designer, yet I was given a sales test to complete. (When I raised the question, HR said it was only for reference.)

After I completed the test, HR conducted the first interview, followed by another interview with a so-called Marketing Manager.

As usual, we went through self-introductions, work experience, portfolio presentation, reasons for leaving my previous job, and so on.

After the interviewer gave an overview, I asked to understand the things that had not been explained, such as the organizational structure, how the company would operate in the future, and its expectations.

The Marketing Manager only said that he had full control over marketing, but seemed unable to provide clear answers to my questions one by one, responding only through superficial emotional resonance.

When we finally discussed salary, I already understood that a small company could not be compared with a large one.

Taking into consideration a figure reduced by 20% based on the company’s size, this Marketing Manager directly said that they could not offer such a salary.

I then asked the other party to disclose the salary range the company could accept.

This exchange went back and forth for a while.

Finally, the Marketing Manager said that he could not make the decision regarding salary, that he would ask the boss, and asked me to wait in the conference room.

After waiting for 20 minutes, the receptionist came in and stammeringly asked me to leave.

I asked the receptionist what the Marketing Manager had meant by saying he was going to discuss the matter with the boss.

The receptionist vaguely said that the boss was not there, and neither was the Marketing Manager.

I asked, “Then does this mean the interview is over?”

The receptionist replied, “Yes~ We’ll notify you next week, the week after next, or next month.”

By this point, I already felt that a great deal of my time had been wasted.

I also did not think I would receive any kind of answer.

I took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the building, only to see the Marketing Manager—who had just said he was going to ask the boss for approval—smoking by the roadside~~~~~

A really terrible interview experience
