Workplace reviews and discussion: 千山淨水股份有限公司

Before the interview, an HR specialist called to confirm and schedule an interview at the store, and also called again on the day of the interview to remind me. (However, the interview time was unexpectedly changed.)

When I arrived and explained that I had a scheduled interview, the counter staff asked, “What position are you applying for?”

(This question was very strange, haha.)

The counter staff then tore a blank personnel information form from a stack on the counter and asked me to fill it out, pointing to a small round table beside the counter where I could write.

Not long afterward, another interviewee arrived, and the counter staff followed the same “SOP.”

After I finished filling it out, the counter staff took a photo of the form and sent it to the interviewing manager, then said they would add us on LINE and create a group chat for the interview. (Only then did we learn that the interviewing manager would not actually come to the site. If it was an online interview, why make people come all the way there?)

The interviewing manager identified himself as the finance and accounting manager at the head office. He explained the salary, leave policy, job responsibilities, and performance targets for the position, then asked the interviewees to introduce themselves one by one and answered questions.

After the interview, he simply said to wait for further notification, and I was free to leave.

About half an hour after I left, the interviewing manager called, but I was riding at the time and could not answer.

I replied by LINE text message, and the manager proactively arranged to call me again at 8 p.m. that evening. However, I did not receive any call until the following evening, and the manager also left my message reminding him that I had “not yet received a call” unread.

The salary looks attractive, but in reality, you can only receive it if you “meet the target,” and most of the “performance targets” are actually just “based on performance,” without any concrete criteria.

The company appears to have systems in place, but in reality, it does not.

Even senior managers at the head office can casually stand up interviewees, which shows that the company’s systems exist in name only.
