Workplace reviews and discussion: 明基電通股份有限公司

The direct supervisor and senior manager are very straightforward.

I originally had no intention of interviewing with this company. I was notified after my resume on 104 was viewed, and the HR representative who contacted me kept calling relentlessly.

During the interview, both the direct supervisor and senior manager were nice. However, HR kept giving me motivational speeches and, intentionally or otherwise, trying to convince me not to ask for too high a base salary, saying that the company relies on bonuses (bonuses for an internal position??).

HR kept complaining that my information was incomplete and asking why I had not finished filling it out on their website.

(They are in the same group as Qisda. When you fill out the information for BenQ, they complain that you have not filled out Qisda's information. After you complete Qisda's information, they complain that BenQ's is still incomplete. It leaves you wondering which company you are actually applying to.)

Finally, after I interviewed in the morning, the direct supervisor told me that afternoon that I had been accepted and to wait for HR's notification.

Then... nothing happened. Whenever I emailed HR in the meantime, there was no response.

In the end, I emailed the supervisor directly. Only after the supervisor followed up with HR did I receive HR's belated call informing me that my salary had been cut and asking whether I still wanted to come (in a very arrogant tone). When I said yes, they gave me less than seven days to prepare and asked me to onboard, without caring about the start date I had originally entered. In the end, because I was already employed and could not start within seven days, I was forced to give up.

Throughout the entire process, from the interview to the end, HR acted high and mighty, called relentlessly, left me hanging without responding, and withheld the formal offer (the only confirmation that I had been accepted came from the direct supervisor). I would only recommend it if you are extremely willing to put up with being mistreated and scolded.

As an aside, this is shared with Qisda. At first, I was notified by BenQ HR, and then the supervisor replied to me using a Qisda email address. It was very confusing.
