Workplace reviews and discussion: 國高紙品股份有限公司

None

At the beginning of the interview, two female HR representatives first explained the company’s benefits and regulations. Later, when I asked about the job duties for the publishing graphic designer position, they had no idea whatsoever and could not answer any of my questions. They did not even know how to turn on the air conditioner in the interview room. I waited inside for the supervisor of the other graphic designer position and nearly suffocated. After waiting for quite a while, the supervisor arrived, but gave only a fairly vague explanation. Later, the two HR representatives and one graphic design supervisor left, saying they needed to contact the assistant and asking me to wait a little longer. The interview had been scheduled several days in advance, but on the day itself, I felt that no one at this company took it seriously. In the end, they informed me that the assistant would not be coming to interview me, and the interview ended. The graphic designers at this company are on a responsibility-based system, and there is no overtime pay—only a NT$60 missed-meal allowance (boxed meals now cost over NT$100, so what can you eat for NT$60?). The year-end bonus is fixed at one month’s salary and will not change. There are gifts or cash bonuses for the three major holidays and birthdays, but they did not say how much. It feels like a very traditional and closed-off industry.
