Workplace reviews and discussion: 國泰世華商業銀行股份有限公司

I had previously heard horror stories about Cathay’s IT department, so I came to the interview out of curiosity. During the process, the department manager asked about the technologies used at my previous company. If they did not use what he wanted, he would respond in a contemptuous tone and disparage my former company. Halfway through the interview, the department manager said he had to attend a meeting and simply left, leaving another person from a different department who was assisting with the interview to ask me to submit a report by a specified deadline in exchange for the opportunity to proceed to the next interview stage. Unexpectedly, the department already seemed quite dysfunctional before I had even set foot in the company. From the manager’s behavior, I could roughly tell what the atmosphere inside was like. Every company has its own reasons for choosing particular technologies; instead of understanding them, don’t reject them outright or feel superior simply because others do not use the technologies you want.
