Nothing notable occurred during the interview.

Went to No. 101, Section 1, Guangfu Road, Sanchong District, New Taipei City for the interview.

Upon arrival, I could not find the entrance.

I asked warehouse employees at the dock, but was directly ignored.

After calling, I waited about 3–5 minutes before a woman brought someone inside.

If you want to know where the entrance is, use Google Maps to look up

Lane 99, Section 1, Guangfu Road, Sanchong District, Taiwan.

On the map, you will see a glass door—that is the main entrance.

After entering and taking the elevator, the female employee brought me to a place that looked like an employee cafeteria.

The interview was on Wednesday afternoon, but the office area was extremely deserted and dimly lit.

They provided a standard GoldenMalt interview form, like other companies, for collecting personal information.

The form was unusually small. I have interviewed with many companies, and GoldenMalt’s form really had very small fields.

First, a woman came to conduct the interview, and later a middle-aged man joined her.

Watching the two of them squeeze into the seats opposite me made me feel cramped, and I felt sorry for the employees as well.

This cramped feeling was not only about the physical space, but also about the capacity of GoldenMalt as a company.

At the beginning of the interview, they asked for a self-introduction, why I left my previous job, and what plans I had.

After that, most of the questions had nothing to do with my professional expertise.

The company did not introduce its brand, salary structure, job duties, or benefits, clearly treating the interviewee perfunctorily.

When I asked a second time, they were still evasive; only when I asked a third time did they vaguely mention them. When I began asking follow-up questions, the answers differed from what had been said the third time.

They avoided answering questions about the salary structure and salary adjustments, only saying that they would discuss them if I was hired.

If they hire you, are they really sure there will still be room for negotiation? They were clearly brushing me off.

Their answers about benefits were incoherent. If this had not been an interview, I would have thought they were having a breakdown.

1. For a warehouse position requiring scheduled shifts and rotating shifts, the salary might have been considered acceptable in 2018–2020, but today it is well below average.

2. It sounded like they expected you not to leave even after finishing your work, effectively forcing unpaid overtime.

3. The warehouse is connected to the retail stores. They mentioned that, because the stores could not recruit enough people, there were many days when leave was prohibited.

4. To take regular days off, you have to request leave.

5. During the interview, the cramped space, irrelevant answers, and avoidance of questions about benefits all clearly highlighted the company’s perfunctory attitude.

6. A strange culture: judging from the warehouse supervisor’s tone, they seem to believe that speed equals ability and do not care about accuracy.

7. Compared with doing the job well and being able to work independently, they seem to prefer someone who will obey and is a blank slate.

I do not really recommend applying. Those who are offered a position should think carefully. The conditions are not particularly good, and the company gives off a strange feeling in many ways.
