Legacy reviews: 8
(The overall impression and process were similar to those described by the previous reviewer.)
1. The reception staff were friendly and courteous, and the interviewer was also very polite. During the interview, the interviewer apologized several times for keeping the candidate waiting.
2. The interviewer was the Deputy PR Manager and explained the division of responsibilities very clearly. They were also candid about the reason the previous person in the position had left.
3. The salary calculation is the same as that described by the previous reviewer, so I will not elaborate. Having experience in a related field would be an advantage when negotiating salary.
4. When filling out the basic information, I was asked whether I was willing to work overtime. The interviewer said that overtime was rare, but could not guarantee that there would be none at all. If overtime is required, it is compensated in accordance with the Labor Standards Act.
5. They proactively stated that, if there were an opportunity to work together, they would notify me about a second interview within two weeks.
(The following are more personal impressions and are not necessarily shortcomings.)
1. The company is fairly large, so the division of responsibilities is very detailed. Overall, based on what I heard, the role is more administrative than marketing-oriented and involves quite a bit of cross-departmental communication, as well as routine tasks such as submitting forms and keeping records. This position may suit candidates who value attention to detail and are interested in the industry.
2. There are many in-house staff, but the office space does not appear to be very large, making the work environment feel even more crowded (the aisles are almost all one-way). However, the environment is very clean.
First, the staff had me go to the century-old building to fill out basic information and wait for half an hour. They then took me to an office on the third floor in an alley, where I interviewed with the assistant public relations manager. She explained in great detail what this job entails. In short, this position at the company involves a great many varied duties (she spent about an hour explaining this part). However, the salary is calculated as follows:
Full salary includes: 1,000 perfect-attendance bonus + 3,000 KPI bonus (but most people receive 80–90% of the KPI, equivalent to around 2,400–2,700).
The year-end bonus is based on performance and ranges from only 0.X to one month’s salary.
There are also medical-aesthetics benefits: employees receive 40–50% off, depending on the treatment, and can receive one free treatment per month from selected items.
Occasionally, there are surprise benefits (for example, serving as a teaching model for a doctor, allowing you to receive the full treatment).
1. The interview process is lengthy: half an hour to fill out the forms and more than an hour for the interview. You need to set aside at least two hours for this company.
2. Overall, this seems more suitable for newcomers looking to gain experience. You need to produce designs quickly, be detail-oriented, tolerate tedious work, handle many miscellaneous tasks, communicate up and down across multiple departments, and know how to compare vendors’ prices and negotiate them down... That said, I personally don’t think the salary and benefits are very good, unless you are especially interested in the medical-aesthetics industry and may find the employee benefits appealing.
None
The interview space was stuffy and hot. I filled out a whole bunch of questionnaire information, and then HR came in and said, “You’re still attending classes? We work until 8.” Oh, then should we continue?
... If you’re calling someone in for an interview, shouldn’t you read their résumé carefully? It clearly stated on my résumé that I’m in the night program. A complete waste of time.
None
The base salary is pitifully low.
The supervisor kept repeating the same things, making them seem not very smart and stubborn. They seemed fed up with interviewing and had a world-weary attitude.
