Absolutely ridiculous!!! They clearly weren't short-staffed at all, yet they still asked me to come in for an interview.
About two months ago, I received information about an opening in the Information Department at Taoyuan Shenjiao. Since I wanted to change jobs at the time and it was in a similar field, I went.
And then what happened?
During the interview, the HR representative and department manager spoke with me for less than 20 minutes. It was the shortest interview I've ever had.
What's more, the department manager wasn't listening to my self-introduction or looking at my portfolio at all. He just gave a perfunctory introduction to his own department and then left.
Damn it. I advise everyone not to waste their time interviewing at this company.

When HR called, they recommended another position that I had already declined, saying that the job responsibilities were similar. Trusting them, I went to the interview, but the actual interview process dragged on for a very long time. The English and logic tests took one hour (why did they have to be done on-site?), and the HR interview alone took a full hour and a half. HR even had to urge the manager along. The interviews with the two managers combined took less than an hour. It felt like they did not respect the interviewee’s time. In the end, I had to write an email asking about the result before they sent a thank-you letter. I advise anyone considering an interview to choose the company carefully.
The environment is comfortable.
The waiting time is long, and the job responsibilities were explained very vaguely. Although it generally seemed like everything had been explained clearly, many details were not addressed when I asked further questions.
The first three months are under an employment arrangement with no performance bonus or three major holiday bonuses. It is unclear whether the other benefits are different.
The salary quoted was still the amount including bonuses. I only learned when signing the contract and reviewing the salary structure that the base salary was lower than the minimum monthly wage required by the Labor Standards Act, and only reached the minimum monthly wage when bonuses were added.
The junior manager who interviewed me was a nice person.
I don't know.
1. In the past, a chubby male HR person invited me to come work in sales, but I was bored, so I went.
2. The HR person spoke rudely and, without understanding certain aspects of the industry, should have simply kept quiet instead of exposing his own shortcomings. When I went there, he even said things like, "Why did you come for an interview?" Was that chubby male HR person just talking nonsense? He also looked down on King Auto despite not even knowing much about the company. Don't you know that the Toyota Group is the wealthy backer and the party actually in control behind the scenes? Can a technician at your company earn an annual salary exceeding NT$1 million after 15 years (excluding overtime pay)?
3. ASE's salary and benefits are about the same as those of typical large system manufacturers in Taiwan.
A place where you trade your liver for retirement.
They keep a bunch of redundant employees; staff are treated like disposable chopsticks—readily available and thrown away after use. Be careful: upon resignation, your salary will be calculated through your last working day (not your resignation date), and holiday pay will also be deducted. If you want to apply your expertise and keep moving upward, don't join. You'll have to work yourself to the bone, and there are better choices.
The wording is quite harsh, but it was a wake-up call.
They directly asked, “You’re almost 30 and still haven’t found your life goal?”
“You’ve been unemployed for half a year—why haven’t you looked for a job?”
I recommend having a goal in life; then you’re less likely to be asked such acerbic questions.
The strengths are also weaknesses.
There is somewhat of a gap between my understanding and the supervisor’s ideas about the information industry.
For me, besides learning the different background knowledge required by each industry,
the coding itself is more or less the same,
but the supervisor may not think so.
It was my first experience with the way a large company recruits. Luckily, I wasn’t ghosted like the reviewers before me. Their attitude was actually okay, but they did indeed come across as somewhat arrogant.
The waiting time wasn’t particularly long, but I felt the CAD practical test could still use some improvement.

An interview at a large company, yet it was clearly extremely unprofessional. Basically, as long as you’re not too old and have working hands and feet, you should be able to get into this company.
The company’s base salary is extremely low—just over 20,000. I don’t know whether that’s legal. You have to rely on overtime to raise your earnings.
For the production line’s day shift, you work two days and take two days off, 12 hours a day, with 15 days off per month. The salary doesn’t reach 30,000. If you work overtime on your days off, you get 10 days off per month and at most a little over 30,000. The hourly wage may be lower than at a convenience store.
The night shift’s base salary, number of working days, and hours are the same, and the pay isn’t particularly high either. Even with maximum overtime, it’s only a little over 50,000 at most. (Everything mentioned above includes allowances and refers to the actual salary received after miscellaneous fees and other deductions.) The work pressure is very high regardless of whether you work the day or night shift. The night shift additionally damages your health—it’s basically selling your health for money. All I can say is, if you’re really short of money, you can work the night shift; just don’t take the day shift, because the pay is lower than at a convenience store.
Can't think of any.
I don't know why staffing is always scheduled just right. As soon as someone takes leave, employees from other stations are brought in to fill the gaps here and there, yet staffing is still insufficient.
The A1 supervisor's work ability is not strong. She only knows how to loudly scold employees, making them feel afraid in order to highlight her own strength. However, anyone with eyes can see that she is not capable at her job. She often scolds people indiscriminately—whether they are right or wrong. What exactly is her problem? This authoritarian management style will only make employees feel dissatisfied and want to resign.
Also, when a foreign worker put the wrong materials in place (other materials had been scheduled to be processed first, but the local employee failed to hand over the information, causing the foreign worker to put the other materials in place first), the supervisor questioned and scolded the worker for nearly an hour. Instead of dealing with the issue promptly, she just kept scolding the employee for nearly an hour, while the materials remained inside the machine. Clearly, this supervisor has a serious problem ==

The exam plus interview takes an entire afternoon. HR will explain the salary structure, and job seekers without experience in the relevant industry are also welcome to interview.
The interview room and waiting room are separated by only one wall, so the soundproofing is very poor. The interviewing manager is very talkative and will ask whether you have relevant experience. After the interview, HR will give you an interview satisfaction survey. You will happily check “satisfied,” and the HR representative will collect the survey from you and immediately inform you that you were not selected, so there is no need to wait a week for notification. This company is extremely efficient, and that highly complimentary survey became the best feedback.
The troublesome part is that the company’s standards for employees are somewhat inconsistent: no experience is unacceptable, experience is also unacceptable, and they will even ask why you want to come here. The entire interview process is full of challenges!
The HR department at this company is different from those at other companies. If you feel you have too much free time, you are also welcome to come for an interview.

After taking a bunch of tests, I had an interview with HR.
It seemed that HR had not reviewed my résumé beforehand and went straight into the interview, with a very unpleasant expression.
They only repeated the information in the interview invitation. When I asked about the detailed job duties and salary structure, they only gave a rough overview and answered very vaguely.
They even said they would explain everything in more detail later.
I was invited to the interview, so I took time off work and prepared for it, but I felt absolutely no professionalism from this company's HR or respect for the interviewee.
After a brief interview, HR simply asked me to go home.
This is the most unprofessional company HR department I have ever interviewed with. I recommend not wasting your time.
The supervisor was arrogant and even thought they were looking for people different from those sought by Siliconware. It was a manufacturing industry of the same nature to begin with; in the end, they merged anyway.
The HR department called several times before I went to the interview. The supervisor's attitude was that they simply weren't short of talent, and they even said my field of study didn't match. It turns out that the people your HR department recruits can also treat interviewees like fools. I came from far away, and there was no transportation reimbursement. This kind of supervisor's interview attitude should be strongly condemned. Job websites are also part of the accomplice structure; they basically require companies to post a bunch of ghost job openings, and in the end they mess around with all the job seekers.

Engineers work 12 hours a day, and the salary is only a little over 30,000. Do you think people are idiots?
They can only fool recent graduates.
There are magazines in the interview room to read while waiting.
The position listed in the interview invitation was Process Integration Engineer at the test plant, but the actual interview was for Customer Engineering Integration Engineer!
The English test was on paper, and the images were poorly printed and unclear; the logic test booklet had marks from someone else’s answers...
The interview room is next to the conference hall, and the soundproofing is poor.
New plant. The food is terrible; those who aren't afraid of dying can go train there.
