Before the interview, you need to take a logic test. The questions are reasonably designed and can distinguish between different levels of ability, unlike at some companies where everyone gets a perfect score as soon as they finish. The HR representative was friendly and asked thoughtful questions; the supervisor seriously sought to understand my experience and project details, so answering honestly is all that is needed. HR also clarified old rumors online: morning exercises and factory patrols have been discontinued. The only thing to note is the information security policy: mobile phones cannot be brought into the factory, but smartwatches are allowed. Overall, I had a positive impression, and the process was professional.

The company is relatively far away, so the commute takes longer, but this depends on the individual. I prefer to keep at least a 15-minute distance between my workplace and home to avoid constantly thinking about work.

The environment and benefits are not as good as those at semiconductor wafer fabs and are relatively less upscale; however, it is considered quite good within Taichung’s machinery industry, and the working style suits my current lifestyle.

The information security regulations are strict, and mobile phones cannot be brought into the factory. However, if you are accustomed to using a smartwatch, the impact is not significant.
