Workplace reviews and discussion: 富田電機股份有限公司

1. The HR representative was quite nice during the interview, but had done absolutely no preparation and hadn’t even read my résumé; it was unclear what they were doing.

2. The new plant in Miaoli is spacious, very new, and practically deserted.

1. Before the interview, I specifically asked HR whether a video interview would be possible (to avoid making a wasted trip just so HR could meet a performance quota), but they refused. However, when I went to Miaoli for the interview, the manager felt that my experience didn’t match the position.

2. The manager directly asked why I had written an expected salary of 40,000. He said Taichung rates should be discounted by 40%............

3. Employee housing in Miaoli costs NT$2,000 per month, with two people to a room, and there are no amenities nearby.

4. They emphasized the Tesla charging stations, but the site was so sparsely populated that there was even less reason to expect any Teslas there... Yeah, a vision, a vision.
