There really aren't any. Although the interviewer's attitude during the interview was pretty good, they did stand me up.
At first, I applied for Position A, but during the interview, HR redirected me to Position B and said that my work experience was a better fit for that position. After the interview, they promised to notify me within a week regardless of whether I was accepted, but after a week, I still had to follow up myself. Only then did they say that the company was conducting a headcount review and they didn't know when they would be able to hire me, so they told me to look for other companies first. If I'd already accepted another company's offer, would I still be waiting for your notification? Absolutely ridiculous.
It is a relatively stable company for the industry.
1. Company benefits are reduced year by year.
2. In some departments, job responsibilities and internal processes undergo major changes once a year (you can only accept them).
3. You may be required to work overtime, and sometimes even be unable to take a lunch break and instead have to work during that time, but there is no compensatory leave, no shift rotation, and no overtime pay (in violation of the Labor Standards Act).
4. On the surface, the company appears open-minded and says that everyone can voice their opinions, but in reality, speaking up will get you in serious trouble (at least, this is the case in quite a few departments).
The company is very wealthy and has a lot of resources, but it does not share them with employees.
The salary is truly determined by haggling at a street market. Compared with many companies in the same industry, it is relatively low. A year-end bonus equivalent to 15 months of salary is not guaranteed, and there are no additional bonuses. Many small companies in the same industry still provide monthly and quarterly bonuses. Relying on its large size, the company speaks to people with great disdain, not realizing that internally it can only find monkeys—or monkeys who only know how to fight among themselves. As a result, it cannot retain talent, the company’s performance continues to decline, and even its own employees call their company full of useless people. It is quite amusing, really. It is not bad as a stepping-stone company for developing your skills, but this is not a company worth staying at until retirement.
I have no idea at all; they basically didn’t say anything and simply kept asking questions.
Personality test -> logic test -> programming logic test
You have to spend a long time thinking about each one, which is a bit of a waste of time.
The programming logic test didn’t have much to do with the position I applied for...
Also, they asked about everything on my résumé and test papers,
very thoroughly—even probing into what your family members do.
It felt like they wanted to ask about every single detail.
In addition, I recommend that only people with "patience" apply.
If you’re impatient, you might not even get to meet the manager...
I went in shortly before 2 p.m. and stayed for more than three hours,
yet they didn’t ask any professional questions related to the position I applied for.
In the end, they said they would get back to me, and then nothing ever came of it.
An unguaranteed 15-month annual salary
The test questions were all Chilean tests and math problems
The female minister who conducted the interview was extremely contemptuous
Basically, there really aren't any.
As soon as you go in, they first ask you to take an aptitude test. After you finish, you wait for someone from HR to come interview you.
The HR representative is arrogant. After asking about your salary expectations, they start constantly trying to lower your salary.
For example, if I asked for 40,000, they would say, “Does it have to be 40,000? Would 38,000 not work? What about 36,000?”
It felt just like haggling at a market. Then they would ask some irrelevant, intrusive personal questions. In short, they simply don't respect people.
After HR, the department manager comes to interview you. The approach is more or less the same as HR's—they just want to cut your salary.
As soon as the manager sits down, they start saying things like, “I know some companies offer good salaries, but the things they produce aren't necessarily good,” and so on.
It was really quite speechless~
The conversation was very relaxed
The attitude of the manager from the main relevant department who conducted the later interview was far too casual
They kept laughing, and I had no idea what they were laughing about. Then they asked a bunch of questions about unrelated technical matters and probed into my privacy
They seemed to treat me like a joke or topic of conversation to discuss for amusement
The HR team is very excellent.
They explain everything about the company in great detail.
The compensation and benefits seem fairly decent (in Taichung).
HR may initially paint an overly rosy picture to give interviewees hope.
After you finish the test,
the department manager takes over the interview
and starts trying to devalue you.
No matter how well you did on the test,
they start saying that your salary expectations are higher than those of applicants with similar qualifications.
Then they start giving you a hard time.
They keep asking, “How would an expert design this?”
“How would an expert write this?”
I was confused.
Why not just ask that directly in the first place?
Was spending so much time at the beginning just a waste of everyone’s time?
It feels like there is quite a big gap in understanding between HR and the department manager.
