A company with no integrity
After I was hired and had already completed the medical examination, they called to say that this position would be changed to an outsourcing arrangement! Are they pretending to be clueless? They’re outright scammers. I advise everyone not to interview there.
The company is beautiful, and the restroom is very clean.
The interview on 9/28 went very well. On 10/1, I received a call informing me that I had been hired, with a start date of 10/15, along with an offer by email. After receiving the offer, I called to ask why the salary was not mentioned in the email. HR said that everyone in the company receives the same email, so it was inconvenient to include the salary, but she could tell me verbally. Two days later, in the morning, they called to say that the start date had to be changed to 11/1. I said okay, but that afternoon they called again to say I didn’t need to report to work after all because they had found someone more suitable.... I told them that I had turned down many interviews because of them (in the past two days alone, I had declined interviews with at least four companies and one job offer), but they didn’t even say they were sorry or offer any kind of polite explanation—they simply told me not to come. 💢 It would be better if such an irresponsible company stopped going out and harming people. Normally, an offer is only sent to senior management, the HR staff responsible for payroll, and the candidate, and it also includes the salary (otherwise, why call it an offer?!). More cautious companies may even provide an encrypted PDF, with your national ID number as the password. After 10 years in the workforce and interviewing with so many companies, this is the first unbelievably ridiculous company I’ve encountered that gave me an offer and then stood me up.... It’s probably better to buy fewer products represented by such a dishonest company. I heard the product is supposed to make your eyelashes grow, and is endorsed by Xu*Xuan. 👀👀
Working in an area where housing prices are very high
A company that does not respect interviewees. After the interviewee finished introducing themselves, the company did not introduce the company or the job responsibilities at all, and simply wanted to dismiss the interviewee. They repeatedly emphasized that they outsource to a 4A advertising agency, while criticizing my work for not meeting what their company wanted. I completely do not understand the purpose of asking me to come for an interview.
A place with very high housing prices
I interviewed for a design position at the headquarters. It felt like they had not reviewed the interviewee’s portfolio or information beforehand, and they kept asking hypothetical questions such as whether I could handle the work. Who would answer that they couldn’t? They said that many people who had worked at 4A agencies still couldn’t do it. That’s strange—does that mean this company isn’t looking for professionalism? I get the feeling that this company has very little trust in interviewees, and the work culture doesn’t seem very good.

Couldn't find any pros!!
There are so many cons that I don't know which one to write first!! All I can say is, if you are hoping to be invited to an interview—or proactively contacted—about positions in marketing, PR, digital marketing, design, and similar fields, do not, under any circumstances, foolishly go there. If you occasionally check the job listings on 104, you will discover that this company has never stopped looking for marketing, PR, and design staff, because people in these three types of positions stay for at most two months, and some leave after just one day. So people come and go, and no one stays. What is the reason?? Apparently, it lies with the CEO (general manager): their ideas constantly change, their explanations keep shifting, and their mood is unpredictable. From time to time, they shout loudly in the office, frequently frightening people who are focused on their work. It is even more dramatic than a local soap opera!! I urge anyone who thinks they might be the exception to think carefully, because there is no such thing as an exception—unless you are a relative of the investor. If not… please do not even think that it would do no harm to give it a try. Otherwise, you will once again begin a brief encounter that ends only in a waste of your life!! Heh heh heh~
Before I even had a chance to discover his strengths, I was inexplicably notified that I didn’t need to come in anymore! :)
My sincere advice to everyone looking for a job: don’t be deceived by this company!
I’ve seen several comments describing situations similar to mine, so it’s clear that this wasn’t specifically directed at me—anyone applying to this company could encounter the same thing.
This company is absolutely not trustworthy.
At the beginning of May, I passed two interviews with the company (one with HR and one with the CEO). That afternoon, after the interviews, they called to tell me I was hired, and I received the offer letter a week later. In mid-June, they called again to ask whether I had confirmed that I would be joining the company. I said yes, and that I was certain I would report to work at their company. Then, a week later—10 days before my originally scheduled start date (July 1)—they called and casually said, “Our marketing manager found a new team, so we’ll cancel your start date for now~” After hanging up, I called them back and said, “From the beginning of May, when I confirmed my acceptance, until now at the end of June, whenever other companies invited me to interview during these two months, I told them I had already confirmed that I was joining your company. Although we didn’t sign a contract, this was a matter of trust. I also completed all the other preparations, including the health examination and opening a bank account. If you were in my position, how would you feel?” Of course, she just kept apologizing and saying it was due to scheduling arrangements, and that many things could happen over two months. It was unbelievably ridiculous—it sounded like a complete excuse. There were only ten days left before I was supposed to start work!
I think my mistake was not insisting on signing a contract at the time.
I sincerely advise everyone not to join this company. You never know when you might inexplicably get fired.
Thought about it for 59 minutes… and still couldn’t think of anything!! I’m really sorry~~
A completely pretentious company. Employees’ business cards have only English names and no Chinese names; the employee directory has only English names and no Chinese names; colleagues only call one another by their English names, so no one knows each other’s Chinese names. Employees who have been with the company for over a year don’t even know the boss’s Chinese name. Colleagues who work nine to five every day don’t know one another’s real names. When an outside call comes in looking for someone… because the caller uses the person’s Chinese name, no one knows who they’re looking for… You ask me, I ask you… no one knows… It’s as if the call came from outer space and the person on the other end said a name that nobody could understand—hilarious!! But basically, this is a thoroughly local company… so unbelievably pretentious… even the company name deliberately includes the words “Taiwan” to make people mistake it for the Taiwan branch of some foreign company… Sigh!! It’s just an utterly pretentious company!!!
The company environment is good, and the location is convenient.
After two interviews, I received an offer. Both interviews were directly with the CEO, and during the second interview, the salary and start date were finalized in person. On my first day, I was given only a computer and no other stationery. After working for one week, I was suddenly notified by HR more than an hour before the end of the workday that I was to finish that day. The reason given was that “the shareholders had concerns about staffing.” It was utterly inexplicable! If the goal was to reduce headcount, they should never have recruited in the first place—and job openings on 104 were still being posted one after another! Because of this, I also turned down two other interviews after accepting the job. I can only conclude that this company has absolutely no respect for people. The CEO is male, but he speaks in a highly emotional manner, and his decisions can change several times in a single day. He also shows such disrespect toward employees! Do not go there under any circumstances, or you may suddenly get fired one day and have your time wasted!
The interviewer was friendly.
Honestly, the company’s reputation is not good.
Only after I arrived for the interview did they say they wanted someone with relevant experience (for a customer service position). I asked, “Then why did you still ask me to come for an interview?” The interviewer replied, “He will look into the reason with HR!”
The interviewer had a pleasant attitude and explained the job responsibilities thoroughly.
I traveled from Kaohsiung to Taichung for the interview. The interviewer asked me, since the Kaohsiung branch also had openings, whether I would prefer to work in Kaohsiung or Taichung. I said that, if possible, I would prefer Kaohsiung. After the interview, I was verbally told that I had been hired and that the Kaohsiung manager would contact me about the start date. I waited a week without hearing anything, so I contacted the Taichung manager (the interviewer) on LINE. He actually said that I should still report to work in Taichung. I was fine with working in Taichung as well, but I told him I would need two weeks to find a place and move. He then replied that I should look for another job instead. I was completely speechless—it felt like I had been toyed with.
