Workplace reviews and discussion: 鴻海精密工業股份有限公司

A large organization

A business group of Foxconn in mainland China. After I finished the interview in early March, the department head said they would hire me. Later, I was asked to take a personality test and an English test. After some time, the person handling salary negotiations asked me for proof of my previous salary and year-end bonus for a salary assessment. Then, on March 24, we discussed a start date, possibly April 21 or early May, and asked me to prepare. After the salary was agreed upon, the position was a level 7 engineer, and I was expected to start on April 21 or in early May. On April 8, they also confirmed April 21 as the date and asked me to prepare for a health examination and submit the required documents. However, in the last hour, they said the process still required approval, and then that evening they told me that, because I had not passed the test, they were sorry but could not hire me. From the interview until yesterday, the process took a month. If there was a problem with the process, that is the problem of this large company. In the end, all they said was, “Thank you for your cooperation.” Is this how a large company operates? Everyone should keep their eyes open.
