Workplace reviews and discussion: 艾爾卡科技有限公司

This company is also known as Mauritius Shengcai R&D Technology Co., Ltd., Taiwan Branch (this is the name listed on the 1111 job bank).

Located in Annan District; I was hired on the spot.

Since it is almost impossible to find any information about this company online, I decided to leave a record here.

As an aside, the interviewer said that the parent company is in mainland China and that Taiwan is a branch office. They specifically asked whether I could accept that, perhaps because they were concerned about political views?

As soon as I arrived, I saw a sign outside saying, “We are urgently hiring operators; please inquire inside.” I was then told that there had been another interviewee thirty minutes earlier, so I was asked to wait a moment. (I arrived about ten minutes early.)

After waiting for a short while, I was taken to a temporary prefabricated building for the interview. I could see the previous interviewee inside. While I was filling out the paperwork, the interviewee sitting across from me had already received a job offer and was asking about the medical examination.

This shows that the company really is short-staffed. I just don’t know whether employee turnover is very high or the workload has recently increased dramatically. In any case, since I was not asked to leave after that interviewee received the offer, I continued waiting for my interview.

Then, shortly after the interview began, the interviewer kept asking when I could start work. I answered that I could start anytime, so the interviewer happily hired me on the spot. I had to interrupt and ask about basic information such as working hours, the leave system, and overtime before the interviewer would tell me.

Everything—including the medical examination, whether there would be exposure to dust, and whether cleanroom clothing or antistatic clothing would be required—was information I had to ask about myself. In the end, I received a job offer that required preparing a lo~t of documents.

That was my interview experience. Overall, this is a company that is extremely eager to get people to start working. It is also the kind of job with routine overtime, working six days and taking one day off, and chasing overtime pay.

But it’s an operator position! What company isn’t like this?
