Workplace reviews and discussion: 三井資訊股份有限公司

The junior manager seemed quite sincere, which is a shame.

(Summary: I was ultimately offered the job, but I didn’t take it.)

Interviewed on 9/18. The whole process was fairly okay. On 9/28, I received a “verbal offer” by phone and was told that it would take a few days to complete the procedures, so I was asked to wait patiently and would later receive a formal written offer letter. By 10/5, I felt that something was strange, so I called to ask. HR said the manager had not even started the process yet == (shocked +1). That evening, the junior manager called and asked me to provide more work samples (the manager above them wanted to review them) before they could decide whether to hire me. Then why did you notify me on 9/28 in the first place? I had already turned down several other companies for this job, and the process was seriously problematic! After I sent the work samples on 10/7, they messaged me on 10/8 to confirm that everything was okay. Then I was hired—but my salary was slashed substantially! I think this was really terrible. Either issue the written offer from the beginning and tell me how much my salary would be cut, or, after reviewing the work samples, issue an offer based on my original salary expectation. They took the long way around, wasted everyone’s time, and are a crappy company. Not recommended!
