Workplace reviews and discussion: 鉅瑋實業有限公司

The work environment is fairly bright and clean.

But I absolutely do not recommend it; the interview experience was quite poor.

At around 10 p.m. the night before, I was notified that the interview would be at 8:30 the next morning. The time could not be changed because the supervisor was going to the Changhua plant that afternoon. (But in the end, the interview was not even conducted by the supervisor who supposedly had to rush to Changhua ⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎ I’ll elaborate later.)

When I arrived at 8:30, I discovered that it was a group interview, with fewer than about 10 people. First, we filled out résumés and completed an online math and logic test and a psychological assessment. After the HR manager gave everyone an overview of the company, we completed the online tests and were then taken aside individually for interviews.

First, I saw some people being taken away for interviews at around 9:30. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the HR manager told the man sitting across from me that the supervisor for the position he had applied for had not arrived at the company yet. The manager asked whether he had somewhere urgent to go and whether he could wait about 15 minutes. Of course, the man said yes. Meanwhile, another woman at a different table and I continued to be left hanging, with no idea how long we were supposed to wait—or whether they had never intended to interview us at all. Were we the batch they had given up on?

By the time my phone was almost out of battery, it was nearly 11 a.m. when the HR manager finally appeared. The other woman and I had applied for the same position, so we were interviewed together. Our self-introductions and brief interview took about five minutes in total. We waited idly for an hour and a half, only to be interviewed for two minutes each?

They also did not tell us the salary, saying it would only be discussed if we were hired ⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎ The actual direct supervisor did not appear for the interview either; it was still conducted by the HR manager from the beginning. This did not match the information I had received the previous night, so were the rest of us just there to make up the numbers?

Finally, at 6:30 p.m., I was notified that I had been hired. The reason was that the supervisor apparently liked me quite a lot? The interview lasted only two minutes—what a question mark. They also never mentioned overtime pay from beginning to end. During the interview, they made many people wait for more than an hour, even though the stated working hours ended at 5 p.m.; all notifications were sent outside working hours. It is easy to imagine that this company’s time management is extremely poor. If I actually reported for work, I would probably be required to work unpaid overtime every day with no conditions, right?

The second generation has taken over. The company is of a decent size, yet it acts as if it were a publicly listed corporation. There is not much to say about the salary and benefits—it is simply a traditional manufacturing company.
