The work environment is modern; nothing else.
During interviews, the boss should focus on the key points and respond to interviewees’ questions concisely and positively, rather than going around in circles and then giving ambiguous answers. The boss also repeatedly explicitly or implicitly suggested that the company’s high turnover rate is mostly due to employees—employees are too selective about jobs and lack a proactive attitude toward work and learning. If the company is concerned that job applicants may not be stable enough to stay long term, it should clearly explain that there is a probationary period and describe the salary calculation system during that period. Instead, applicants are asked to accept a period of two weeks to one month from their start date (depending on their learning progress and work ability) during which they are paid daily wages below the statutory minimum wage and are not covered by labor or health insurance. Only after the applicant has demonstrated stability, a good learning attitude, and sufficient proficiency in the job are they given a monthly salary and enrolled in insurance. This provides new employees with very little protection and is illegal.
Regarding salary adjustments: after one year of employment, salaries are reviewed every six months based on work ability, with an increase of at least NT$1,000 each time and an adjustment range of 5–10%. However, the boss decides whether you qualify for a salary adjustment, and whether you receive one depends entirely on the boss’s impression of you.
During the interview, I felt that, besides having a very narrow perspective, the boss was constantly looking for loopholes in the law. I do not recommend wasting time interviewing at this company.
Interview advice:
1. You must be willing to accept a daily-wage system without labor or health insurance at the beginning of employment.
2. You must be willing to accept the boss’s ambiguous way of responding.
3. The company’s warehouse management and QC mechanisms are inadequate. After becoming familiar with your own work, you will be expected to handle areas the company has not yet addressed, such as improving warehouse processes and helping establish a complete QC process.
4. You must be willing to assist other colleagues with their work in addition to your own duties.
