Workplace reviews and discussion: 喬山健康科技股份有限公司

Regarding work experience, they require data and also ask you to prepare information from your previous company (a very strange requirement).

The salary structure is somewhat strange, with many components. It is divided into base salary + monthly bonus, but since this is clearly not a sales position, splitting the salary into two parts is also quite strange. As for benefits, there is a uniform, but people do not wear uniforms in Taipei.

The interview took a little over an hour, but there are two rounds: an initial interview and a second interview.

You also have to take an intelligence test and the TOEIC. The entire process takes about more than a month. If you need to find a job quickly, you may want to reconsider...

They require you to do an assignment—so lacking in standards, just trying to steal candidates’ ideas

They require candidates to do an assignment, and they give three questions at once. Honestly, it feels quite a lot like they want to steal the ideas of people they interview. Their questions require: 1. Providing successful cases from previous jobs and presenting data from projects the candidate handled (this is really quite...) 2. Conducting a competitor analysis of the sports video and audio industry 3. Presenting your ideas or plans for this position at Johnson Health Tech... To be frank, with so many questions, my goodness, how much are they going to pay me? Moreover, they require specific figures from previous projects. Isn’t that just an attempt to look at other people’s numbers, or what?

Johnson Health Tech’s headquarters are in Taichung. I interviewed this time for Asia Digital. Their office is in Neihu, on Xing’ai Road, in a somewhat remote area—it is not accessible by MRT.

Their office is in a place resembling a factory office, with little decoration and a very ordinary workspace. During the interview, I was taken to a small warehouse. It was tiny and also quite strange—really shabby.

After joining, I found that Johnson Health Tech is not much like a typical large listed company. The headquarters are in Taichung, and the Taipei office lacks any sense of grandeur. The company culture is very traditional, with a strong bureaucratic atmosphere and many entrenched managers. Senior managers show very little respect for employees, especially in this Asia business division. The female general manager, whose surname is Fang, is highly emotional. She sometimes curses at employees using profanity, and frequently threatens employees with performance-improvement plans. Although she had only been with the company for a few months, she quickly laid off some employees. She is quite enthusiastic about managing employees through intimidation. Even more unbearable is that she often assigns work very late at night, with an extremely high-pressure and distrustful attitude.

The general manager of Johnson Health Tech Digital, Ms. Fang, is an oddball and extremely unfriendly toward employees. She is arrogant and condescending, making her difficult to communicate with. She often raises her voice and scolds employees in the office, and she has very poor boundaries: she calls employees late at night or on holidays to demand meetings or assign work. After joining, I discovered that this department was a complete mess. It held a large number of meetings with little constructive value. The general manager’s abilities were very poor, and she had little operational experience. She was also responsible for leading the video and audio production department, which employed a large group of program production staff, but she herself did not even know how to write a program proposal, let alone have any digital experience.

I strongly discourage digital professionals from coming here. The department’s main responsibility at present is infighting; the entire department is busy helping the manager compete for territory, leaving no time for important business work. Most of the time is spent on political issues. They loudly claim they want to enter the sports video and audio OTT market, but the top manager does not even possess some basic digital marketing skills. More importantly, she has no respect for professional expertise. Everything must be reported in person, and every matter must be reported upward; if something has not been reported to her, you will be reprimanded. It is even more bureaucratic than a government agency. No wonder this department’s vacancies remain posted continuously. Anyone who can last more than six months is impressive, and there is a reason the turnover rate is so high.
