Workplace reviews and discussion: 惇陽工程顧問有限公司

Let me offer a little defense of the company. After seeing the corporate environment shared by previous reviewers, I became quite curious and decided to visit. Overall, my interview experience was fairly normal. Regarding salary, the interviewing manager simply copied my expected salary from my self-assessment form onto another sheet of paper without expressing any opinion. As for company benefits and employee training, the manager did not introduce them proactively, but after I asked, it became clear that the company did not have any particularly attractive systems in either area. Overall, the interview process I experienced was quite normal.

When I first entered the company's workplace, it looked pretty good. At the front desk was a quite young female administrative employee. After asking my name, she handed me the self-assessment form for the relevant position. Once I completed it, she took me to the "meeting room" and notified the manager who would interview me. After waiting for about two minutes, a male manager who did not look particularly old entered the meeting room carrying a small stack of documents.

Let me first describe the meeting room. It had a translucent sliding door resembling frosted glass. If the administrative employee who led me there had turned around at the moment I first saw what the meeting room was really like, she might have caught the brief flash of surprise in my eyes XD

In short, there is only one word for it: "small."

The entrance was, by my estimate, no more than two meters wide, and the small room was also about two meters deep. Three round stools were tucked under the table. At the back of the room was a platform at a suitable height for sitting that could also hold belongings, but because a landline telephone was placed on it, I only noticed after looking around that, apart from the office chair by the entrance, the other seats were stools.

I will skip the interview process itself. It was generally about verifying my level of personal ability, and I could provide relevant work samples to support my abilities. During the interview, because the meeting room had no computer equipment and the laptop did not have a network cable socket, the interviewing manager ran out twice to get equipment, appearing somewhat hurried.

Finally, let me quietly reveal a piece of firsthand information I picked up:

The interviewing manager's surname was J. Perhaps this was the good manager mentioned by previous reviewers, or perhaps a manager who took over later—it is hard to say. The department has three managers in total, with each manager overseeing approximately two to three people.

Taking a rough look around, the two office areas had approximately 24 or 25 people in total. They all appeared to be young, with no one over 40. Based on the employees I saw, I would roughly estimate the average age at around 25 to 30. From this, the speculation that the turnover rate may be high seems to have some credibility.

From my conversation with the department manager who interviewed me, it was vaguely suggested that the final decision-making authority for hiring does not lie with the department manager, but with the administrative department—or perhaps more accurately, the management department.

Compared with my other interview experiences in the same field, the office atmosphere felt somewhat dull and stagnant (based on the emotions conveyed by the interviewing manager and administrative employee). This is merely my subjective impression and is provided for reference only.
