The interviewers were all very easy to talk to.

The company environment looks very beautiful.

During the interview, they tell you that you have to arrive at the company half an hour early every day to “read,” but since it isn’t mandatory, it doesn’t count as working hours; it will, however, affect your year-end performance review. You may only “read” books related to personal development or work. Other novels, comics, newspapers, magazines, and short videos are not allowed.

They keep saying that the boss places great importance on employees’ education, learning, and development, but when I asked whether there were any relevant welfare subsidies, they only said there was an annual book allowance of NT$2,000. Exam and registration fees cannot be claimed.

“Diverse learning resources” sounds like you are expected to use your own time to listen to the boss’s learning experiences. They say participation is voluntary, but the hours are counted, and those hours represent how much you identify with the company, so they will also affect your year-end performance review.

The year-end bonus has no guaranteed minimum and is not fixed. After calculating a benchmark level based on that year’s performance, it is adjusted according to individual evaluations, so it may be higher or lower.

There are not many concrete benefits. The “meal purchase discounts” seem to consist only of 10% off at designated stores, and the “various clubs” seem to consist only of sports clubs.

Because meals take place at a fixed location and time, the “irregular group meals and employee activities” end up seeming like a rare benefit.

There is a birthday cash gift, but no birthday leave. These are probably all the benefits. I’m not sure whether I didn’t know what to ask, forgot something, or whether this really is all there is.
