I thought the pay was calculated hourly, but I was told it was calculated monthly. There was a considerable difference in pay. When I asked them to address it, they were uncooperative. When I asked them to show me the original contract, they were also uncooperative. I had no choice but to request a mediation hearing.
The office is beautiful, the receptionist was friendly, and they provided water during the interview.
Is this a perennial vacancy?
The department manager for a certain foreign language looked utterly world-weary. Recently, they didn’t even introduce themselves or read my résumé.
They asked a barrage of questions with a weary expression, which felt really rude.
Treating a job candidate they were meeting for the first time with this kind of attitude makes me think that even if I joined, I wouldn’t be able to stay long.
There is always a segment at the end of an interview where the candidate can ask questions.
I simply wanted to hear the manager’s thoughts and opinions on something that had come up during the interview.
Who would have thought that when I asked, they would reply disdainfully and arrogantly, “Are you interviewing me now?”
Seriously, what the heck????
Asked whether I understood the job responsibilities.
During the interview, the company provided documents about its culture and the job responsibilities, then asked whether I had any questions about the content.
The interview team and HR were extremely unprofessional. My previous company was quite well-known, and the other companies I interviewed with were also widely recognized.
Immediately after the interview, HR threatened me: if I was not accepted, I should not post about it online. I later learned that this female HR representative was very unpopular.
Because of my impressive résumé, a manager from the operations department was interested in transferring me to an interview for that department.
The subsequent interviews continued to be conducted by the same female HR representative, who kept assuming that I was overly nervous, when in fact my eyes were simply irritated by my contact lenses. While waiting for another manager, she suddenly asked me to introduce myself in English. After I finished, she directly asked me to leave through the company’s front door. The process was extremely uncomfortable and rude; I felt as though I had been driven out. She then warned me in a threatening tone: “If you are not accepted, do not spread comments harmful to the company.”
This HR representative did not understand the game industry and was also unclear about the scale of my previous company. She acted arbitrarily, assuming there was something wrong with the interviewee, and did not understand why I could not disclose too much internal information when the game had just been released. I observe the ethical and legal responsibilities expected of a former employee toward my previous company. That company is very traditional. The entire interview form and HR interview were focused on finding out the salary structures of other companies, reflecting a very traditional local corporate culture. This HR representative directly rejected me on behalf of the company and arbitrarily prevented me from interviewing with the next manager. With such a problematic gatekeeper, I believe it would also be difficult for the company to assemble its development team.
Unfortunately, I encountered this female HR representative. Essentially, the entire experience came down to luck. I later asked employees at the company and confirmed that she had a notorious reputation.
She made arbitrary judgments and made it difficult to adjust the interview process. The position was clearly only for customer service, while other departments were interested in inviting me. I do not know whether she was overly jealous of me or what… This was the worst interview experience I have ever had. Recently, someone asked me about it, which brought back this extremely uncomfortable past.
After submitting my résumé, I was notified about the interview in approximately three business days. There was a written test of about 20 logic questions; it was relatively easy and could be completed in 20 minutes.
The interview with the supervisor lasted about one hour. I recommend setting aside plenty of time. Overall, the interviews were quite pleasant.
After that, there was a second interview and an HR interview, which lasted about one hour. Contrary to what was said on the forum, the HR representative was not rude or deliberately difficult.
I happened to meet a young HR representative, who mainly reconfirmed my aptitude and language abilities.
(In short, it was basically another interview with HR, and I had to explain everything again from the beginning.) I had not seen anyone on the forum mention that an English self-introduction was required, but I was asked to give one. I recommend that future interviewees prepare one in advance.
The benefits seem to include everything that should be included. The office is in the World Trade Building and is fairly new.
There are employee trips (full-time employees are eligible regardless of seniority).
The other benefits sounded fairly standard and there were no major issues; annual leave and such are provided in accordance with the Labor Standards Act.
The company does not have a particularly good reputation in the gaming industry. It publishes many new games, but ultimately does not seem committed to operating them over the long term.
Shift schedules must be requested from the supervisor in advance.
The salary offered is low, but this should suit newcomers who like mobile games and have no experience.
I observed the office a little during the interview. Overall, it was quite quiet and did not feel like the atmosphere of a gaming company.
The manager who conducted the interview was very friendly, explained the job responsibilities in fairly good detail, and seemed to have their own ideas. However, I’m not sure whether they were just painting an overly rosy picture, because it felt like many processes related to the actual job responsibilities had not been clearly defined. Still, during the interview with this manager, I genuinely felt, for a moment, that I really wanted to become part of their team~
The HR manager who conducted the interview had a very different attitude. Although we were job applicants and employers may occasionally seem to hold a higher position during the hiring process, the entire interview was conducted in a suspicious and condescending tone, which was genuinely very uncomfortable.
The HR representative was not a specialist in this position, yet kept judging the interviewee’s abilities based on her own ideas. She suddenly gave me a written test to complete on the spot, but repeatedly interrupted me with various verbal questions while I was answering. When I answered questions during the interview, she also kept interrupting me, then used various condescending phrases such as, “So basically, you don’t have any experience in this area, right?” and “So that means you only know how to use the basic functions” …
When we discussed salary, she said verbally that we were mutually discussing it, but if she didn’t approve of the lowest figure she offered, she would still ask you to lower your expectations, then ask, “So you can accept this figure, right?”
By the end, I was already somewhat upset by the interview, but I still kept a smile on my face until it was over. Internally, though, I had a lot of thoughts. This was truly the most unpleasant and rudest HR representative I have ever encountered.
Anyone planning to attend an interview should really consider this aspect carefully. Although the hiring manager’s attitude is the most important, HR handles all sorts of small and large administrative matters at work (leave requests, overtime applications, expense reimbursements, and so on). If the person is difficult to communicate with and lacks empathy, it will inevitably be extremely troublesome when you need to deal with administrative matters in the future.
The department supervisor focuses on negotiations.
1. The HR manager had a poor attitude and acted condescendingly.
2. They were scheduled to notify me of the interview result at the beginning of the month. When I inquired, they said the internal decision had not yet been made and that I would have to wait until the end of the month. The response was given in a very unpleasant manner.
The company is located in a prime location
The interview was extremely rushed, giving the impression that it was handled perfunctorily. There were also some communication issues with the outsourced recruitment agency and headhunter company.
The company offers quite a few benefits, as follows:
1. Department gatherings: A gathering is held once a month, with the company subsidizing the cost.
2. Massages: You can sign up for a massage up to twice a month, 15 minutes each time, but you have to compete for a slot; if it is very busy, you may not get one.
3. Employee trips: The company subsidizes an employee trip every year. You can choose a domestic or international trip, but be careful not to offend a certain director; otherwise, if you sign up for the employee trip later, you may be indirectly pressured to resign.
1. The salary is relatively low, and even if you send an email in advance to request overtime, it may not necessarily be approved.
2. Be careful of a certain married director, who fools around with female colleagues everywhere and has affairs.
3. You must not let him know that you are aware of his affair; otherwise, he will target you at every turn and whisper complaints about you to your supervisor.
4. He creates divisions within the company, bad-mouths other directors and colleagues he dislikes, and pins baseless accusations on them.
Employee trips and year-end banquets are very generous.
1. A regulation has been issued stating that employees may not go out to buy breakfast after starting work, nor eat breakfast at the company. Otherwise, supervisors will uniformly regard it as absence without leave, and employees must apply for leave.
2. Some meaningless training courses have begun to be offered, with classes held all day (for example, business software application training). Those who do not submit assignments after class will be punished.
3. You have to get past HR for the interview, and leave requests also have to go through HR. HR’s attitude can be seen in the explanations given by some people earlier—it is the same as always.
4. Because the people above have little professional expertise, there is not much to learn, and there is no handover or passing down of knowledge. Therefore, it is a beginner’s village.
None
At midnight, they asked whether I could go for an interview that afternoon. The timing was very strange, so after agreeing, I asked them to send a notification email.
There was still no reply the next morning. With HR or the supervisor being so lax and casual, going in there would probably be a joke too.
No
There was no response whether I got the position or not, which was terrible 👎
There is no fixed year-end bonus; it depends on individual KPIs.
There are no special benefits.
I do not recommend going.
I interviewed for a technical position, and from the conversation, I could tell that the company's work processes are fairly well established.
Filling out the standard application form was a bit tedious.
The office is very large and impressive, but I heard that the office will be relocated. I wonder whether the future office environment will be good!
I was interviewed by an older female HR manager (probably at the supervisory level). She asked somewhat old-fashioned interview questions and was very insistent on knowing the salary conditions at each of my former companies. She also kept trying to get me to reveal the operating procedures of my previous companies.
The salary probably wouldn’t exceed 35K. In the end, applicants had to wait two weeks to find out whether they had been hired.
The company offers a high degree of freedom. It’s heaven for smokers—you often see people downstairs smoking instead of working, and smoking a pack or more a day is no problem.
The benefits are pretty good, including the rare perk of fully subsidized employee trips.
The office is beautiful.
Because employee turnover is very high, the company often needs people who can hit the ground running. You can learn a lot right away, and as soon as you join, you may be put in charge of major projects.
The starting salary is really low... It can make you feel that you’d earn more working at a convenience store.
The company can’t retain talent, and employee turnover is extremely high. The company doesn’t seem to care about this either. Employees who receive awards at the annual party often leave the following month. It feels like it doesn’t matter who leaves, and handovers are poorly handled, resulting in a lot of incomplete-transition problems.
The boss is extremely stingy with raises and bonuses. Even when the company makes money, it is reluctant to share it with employees. Bonuses are only given when the company makes a large profit, and receiving one can feel downright pitiful. The employees below are overwhelmed with work and take on everything; they bear the most responsibility but receive the least. The distribution feels like: the boss class gets 60%, managers 30%, and employees 10%.
The company is conveniently located for transportation.
It really is a company that, as mentioned below, is very disrespectful to people. I encountered the most unprofessional HR staff member ever. I had scheduled an interview, but the reception desk was unattended, so I had to walk into the office to ask. No one could find Ms. Hsiao, whom I had arranged the interview with.
You won’t get scolded for going out to buy things during work hours.
I’ve seen many people clock in first thing in the morning and then go out for breakfast.
Talented employees can’t seem to stay, and one by one they resign.
Senior management is very stubborn and unwilling to listen to frontline employees’ ideas. Even when they discover problems internally, they are unwilling to face them.
Salaries are far below industry standards. New hires are offered very little pay, yet have an overwhelming number of responsibilities—so, so many.
HR lacks professionalism, and its attitude feels insincere and arrogant.
The customer service department is isolated from the rest of the company, and there seems to be a lot of infighting between departments.
Some departments spend all their time slacking off and chatting, while others are busy beyond belief.
Most importantly, they make grand promises, but the bonuses are very small.
A company where HR and finance employees keep resigning and vacancies remain unfilled clearly has serious internal problems.
Anyone considering applying should think twice.
The company is relatively new.
The most disrespectful company I’ve encountered toward interviewees. When I went for the interview, the manager was in a meeting, so the department sent someone to conduct the interview. They didn’t seem to have much interviewing experience and didn’t really know what to ask, so I was left waiting around for the manager.
After nearly two hours, the manager still hadn’t finished the meeting. Then another team member came in and said that was all for today and that they would notify me later, ending the interview.
I filled out a bunch of miscellaneous documents, but never got to interview with the manager from start to finish. I had no idea why I had come in that day—it was simply a waste of the interviewee’s time.
The people involved were not rude, but overall, the company was extremely disrespectful toward the interviewee, and the experience felt very unpleasant.
During work hours, you often see colleagues going out to buy food and drinks.
For now, it’s still a relatively stable place to stay, but don’t expect a high salary.
The office is quite nice.
Salaries and bonuses are generally low.
The department managers are only average.
The turnover rate is high.
