Interview for an operator position
Starting salary for fresh graduates: 22k
Absolutely ridiculous
There really aren't any.
1. The bonuses for the three major holidays are only three digits.
2. You can apply for overtime, but your supervisor won't approve it, which amounts to having none.
3. The Q4 year-end bonus is stubbornly never paid—pathetic.
4. Working like a beast is no match for having connections.
5. The most pitiful are still the temporary replacements. Don't disbelieve the comments above.
In summary, your company's motto is: Whoever wants to do it, let them do it.
The environment is fairly clean
There is no salary adjustment after passing the probationary period
You have to wait until every July for a raise
Make sure to settle the salary when negotiating at the beginning
If you pass the performance review, you get a NT$100 raise every year
The raise is too small
The front-end work here leans more toward visual design, so those seeking advanced front-end technology can skip it.
The technology is outdated. They need a front-end designer rather than an engineer, and it also sounds like they are not very familiar with technologies such as Git and SCSS.
1. You can quickly build your resilience to pressure—awesome.
2. Young women will grow rapidly (and so will their salaries).
If you’re not a young woman, don’t come here under any circumstances. The senior manager of a certain department and the managers he has trained only like young beauties; what happens next needs no explanation.

The company building is dreary, with an old-fashioned green floor. There are many relatives and protégés of senior people; it is a family business. One manager’s verbal tic is “對阿” (“right, yeah”), and they keep saying “對阿對阿” (“right, yeah, right, yeah”) while speaking. They use lots of filler words and redundant phrasing, making them difficult to understand. They were also parachuted in, know nothing, and do not train people, but if you do something poorly, they yell at you in the office. They speak like a gangster, treat other teams very well, and treat their own team terribly.

A bunch of lousy managers. Closed-minded. A family business where everyone is related to the boss. They try to save even small amounts of money—a very stingy company.

The unrelated security guard downstairs was very kind and guided me into the building because the entrance was quite difficult to find.
The manager who interviewed me had an arrogant attitude and a heavyset build, but no poise. At 42, he was complacent about being a manager and mocked me for being young. As soon as I entered, he slumped into his seat and began lecturing me. No one would want him as their manager.
The HR representative who arranged my interview was absent that day and had someone fill in for them, while the manager said, “I have no objection if you want to come in.” The interview process was confusing.
The company was on one of the building’s floors, which was not very clean and had a lifeless atmosphere.
A stepping stone for people just entering the workforce—that’s about it.
The company really likes hiring alternative-service personnel and recent graduates because they’re cheap and have low starting salaries.
Assistants make only NT$24,000–25,000, and specialist positions also pay no more than NT$30,000.
The company does not guarantee how many months of year-end bonus you will receive.
In your first year, they also won’t pay it proportionally; they’ll give you a few thousand dollars just for show.
The company has a very serious overtime culture <--- unpaid, unless you applied for a production-line operator position.
Officially, work ends at 6 p.m., but if you want to leave before 7 p.m., you have to sneak out.
If this happens too frequently, your supervisor will question whether you have nothing to do.
If you work too late, they will also question whether your efficiency is poor.
There are many relatives and favored insiders in the company, so be careful not to offend anyone.
