Workplace reviews and discussion: 精英電腦股份有限公司

Although the Datong Building looks old on the outside, the office itself was renovated not long ago, and the environment is comfortable.

The interview reception involved the security guard at the first-floor reception desk (who told visitors to dial the extension number themselves to reach the relevant person). I waited in the reception area for 30 minutes.

1. HR got the interview time wrong and even thought I was late…

2. Before the interview, HR had not carefully reviewed the applicant’s résumé. She said she had been suddenly notified that she was supposed to interview me. We did not discuss anything about the company or the position at all; instead, she asked questions and shared things that were unimportant and unrelated to the job responsibilities…

3. HR engaged in employment discrimination (gender). After reviewing my résumé, the male manager shared what he considered to be his experience: “[Many young women who have just graduated are just like you—they take administrative receptionist positions in the technology industry and can conveniently find an engineer boyfriend while they’re at it…]” Hearing this made me feel extremely disgusted. It showed no respect for the female applicant’s previous work experience. He spoke as if he were absolutely right, with an arrogant and condescending tone. (I was stunned at the time, and my mind went completely blank. I couldn’t listen anymore… I just wanted to leave as soon as possible.)

4. When the HR manager explained the position, the description was extremely vague. Even after I asked questions, she was unable to answer them, and the target candidate profile for the role was unclear.

5. The attitude when finally presenting the offer was also very poor…
