Workplace reviews and discussion: 直通國際股份有限公司

1. Very close to the MRT station

2. Spacious and well-lit office environment

1. A few days before the interview, HR sends an online personality test and a personnel information form (I only filled in information related to the job).

2. On the day of the interview, you must first take a 35-question logic test (only the first two questions are actually logic questions; the rest are all word games),

and complete a simple programming exercise (even easier than LeetCode Easy). It takes about 40–50 minutes in total.

3. The first interview is with HR. From the conversation, I got the impression that they were looking for someone outgoing who enjoys proactively socializing, which is completely incompatible with my personality.

4. There are mandatory outdoor activities every quarter, and you may be assigned tasks that you dislike and that have nothing to do with your work.

5. HR thought that I had provided too little information on the personnel form and said that I should fill in as much as possible, even information unrelated to the job.

6. Overtime may be required (depending on the project), and you may even need to assist at a client’s site outside working hours.

7. You may need to work on-site for a week (depending on the project; locations are within the Greater Taipei area).

8. About three minutes after the interview with HR ended, a systems architect came in (why not the project manager???),

asked a few basic questions related to objects and my résumé, and then left immediately after asking everything they wanted to ask. I hadn’t even had a chance to ask about any job details... Then HR came in and said the interview was over. It felt a bit awkward = =
