Workplace reviews and discussion: 保潔國際物業管理股份有限公司

Directly opposite Exit 2 of Songshan MRT Station, with convenient transportation

I miscalculated my interview time and was more than 30 minutes late. I also went to the wrong interview location, but they did not get angry at all.

Only when I arrived did I discover that the contact person and the person who received me were different.

The interview could be considered two rounds because the boss was not there that day. After the interview, they would report back to and discuss with the boss whether I was suitable for the position.

Both the HR representative and the deputy CEO were fairly friendly.

Before the interview, I searched the company name on Google Maps and found three negative job reviews, but the address listed was the old address, so be careful.

I still went to the interview and treated it as a way to gain interview experience.

There was no company sign at all on the interview-floor level, so I had no idea where I was supposed to go for the interview.

The interview form was two pages long, with an enormous amount of information to fill in, plus 10 questions to answer.

The office next door was the Ministry of the Interior’s training center, where firefighters were taking classes. The soundproofing was extremely poor, and I could hear every word of the class. I started to wonder whether I had gone there to sit in on a class or to attend an interview.

The office was extremely small. There were only two employees there that day—the HR representative and the deputy CEO—and both interviewed me.

For a property management company that has been in business for 40 years, it was quite strange that the office had only three people (the boss, deputy CEO, and HR representative).

The first interview was with HR.

They appeared to be around 20–30 years old, fairly young, with very long false eyelashes and a somewhat intimidating appearance.

We had a brief conversation to get an understanding of my situation.

The HR representative was also very inexperienced, having been employed for less than half a month, which was quite shocking.

They said the company does not require overtime.

The second interview was with the deputy CEO.

They may have been in their 70s and were somewhat elderly.

Their memory did not seem very good. Several times, they seemed to want to say something but could not get it out, which made me worry about whether work could be assigned and coordinated smoothly in the future.

I was interviewing for an environmental engineering specialist position in the cleaning department, but the deputy CEO actually asked what I knew about their foundation.

They had just established the Carbon Public Welfare Action Foundation, which provides ESG training and assists companies with carbon reduction.

The deputy CEO seemed completely out of touch and had no idea what the position I was applying for involved. They even asked me to tell them the salary they had posted.

The deputy CEO had retired from the Environmental Protection Bureau (now the Ministry of Environment).

They also founded the Taiwan Air Quality Safety Association.

As for ESG, they are starting from zero, so applicants who want to pursue ESG should be prepared for that.
