Workplace reviews and discussion: 百商數位科技股份有限公司

For this engineering position interview, the overall process was a bit more comprehensive than I expected. It started with a perceptual assessment, which seemed to be designed to measure potential traits or something along those lines. After that, there was a 20-minute written test. Since the time was fairly limited, you had to get into the questions quickly. The questions focused more on conceptual understanding and practical application, and some of them really required a bit of thought. If you usually write code and are familiar with your own technical skills, you probably wouldn’t be completely unsure of how to approach them.

After the test, there was an interview with HR, mainly covering my résumé, previous work experience, why I wanted to join, and my understanding of the company and position. The conversation did not feel particularly stressful overall, and they also explained the company’s policies and benefits. After that, I interviewed with the department manager. The manager had considerable technical depth and kept asking detailed follow-up questions based on what I had written on my résumé, rather than just stopping at surface-level questions. They asked things like how projects were carried out, why I chose certain approaches, what problems I actually encountered, and which parts I was personally responsible for. If you list certain technologies or projects on your résumé, it felt like you really need to understand the technologies used throughout the development process, to demonstrate that you genuinely participated rather than only having superficial exposure. However, the manager did not seem intent on deliberately stumping me. It felt more like a technical discussion, with further questions and elaboration after each answer, so the conversation was actually quite worthwhile overall.

Overall, the interview process was fairly comprehensive, including the written test, HR interview, and manager interview. Although I was a little nervous at first, all of the interviewers were easy to communicate with. For people with hands-on development experience, I think preparing the projects you have worked on and the technical details is much more important than simply memorizing a bunch of common interview questions.

The company is a little distance from the MRT station, so it takes some time to walk there. Other than that, I personally thought everything else was okay.
