The interview process consisted of four rounds.
First: A professional exam, TOEIC, and logic test, followed by an interview with the supervisor. During the interview, I was told that my test results were unsatisfactory and that if I intended to join the company, I would need to retake the tests, because the results would affect salary determination. I asked whether the testing time was too short because I did not finish the TOEIC. However, since it had been a long time since I last took the TOEIC, I later took an online TOEIC practice test and discovered that in the listening section of their TOEIC test—such as the parts where you listen to a dialogue and answer three questions—standard TOEIC tests provide the three questions along with the dialogue, but theirs went directly from 1 to 2 after only a few seconds, then to 3. The time available to answer was clearly compressed.
Second: For some reason, it was changed to an online interview with HR first. The questions concerned how I would solve various problems encountered in this position and how I had handled difficult situations during my previous internship. I felt that I had already explained the content of my internship during the first interview, so it was not difficult to know that I had no experience in this position. Therefore, I felt that asking how I would handle problems encountered in this role was rather deliberately difficult.
Third: An in-person second round of testing. After I finished two subjects and had one remaining, I was told that the testing would end for the day and that the final subject would be taken online later. It seemed that all the meeting rooms happened to be occupied and were needed, so I was told to go home first.
Fourth: After I finished the online test, HR told me I could leave. They did not explain approximately when I would receive a notification. When I asked about the progress a week later, I was told that the supervisor was still evaluating. In the end, I did not even receive a thank-you letter.
Thoughts: It was a huge waste of time. Moreover, I did not even know the salary situation—at least the minimum amount—so there was really no need to spend so much time on one company…

1. The production-line environment is stuffy, dirty, cluttered, and cramped. Only three women’s restrooms are available; they are extremely dirty, with lots of dust and spider webs.
2. After being shown the task a few times, you are expected to get started immediately. If you cannot keep up with the pace, someone will deliberately move their face very close to yours and stand beside you, staring.
3. The production-line employees all have very poor attitudes and little patience.
There really weren't any.
At first, the job application requirements didn't mention English proficiency, but it turned out they gave me a TOEIC test on the day of the interview!
The test started at 9 a.m. and lasted until 10, and then the supervisor said they had a meeting until 11 (Please, if you have a meeting, why schedule an interview! What is wrong with you...)
I guess other people's time isn't time to you!
At 11, after barely asking me a few questions, they said they were afraid I didn't meet the company's needs? What a joke.
They asked me to turn on my video, but they didn't even look at the camera. Is that polite?
Even if they asked me to go work at this company, I wouldn't want to!

If you are applying for a PM-related position, please be careful. Follow the right person and you’ll go to heaven; follow the wrong person and you’ll suffer endless misery.
The more someone lives in their own world, the less likely they are—or the less they care—to consider other people’s opinions. They only see things from the tip of the iceberg. No matter how poor their management or work abilities are, they still think highly of themselves and consider themselves untouchable.
But little do they know that beneath the dazzling confidence they believe makes them so important, they have long since become a joke in the eyes of many people.
Please think twice before joining.

The direct supervisor has an inflated sense of self. The actual job duties differed from what was discussed during the interview, making this a very disappointing job change.
If you are considering joining this company, think it over carefully.
Position: MIS Engineer
Interview process:
1. Fill in entry information at the security office. No badge exchange required.
Aptitude test -> Logic test -> English test -> Professional test [SQL/JAVA/C#]
(All tests are timed; HR will collect the papers when time is up.)
HR
1. Self-introduction
2. Questions about past work experience
3. Resume analysis
4. Answers to the submitted questions
5. Because there was a discrepancy between the English test score that day and the TOEIC score, HR asked about the situation.
6. If the logic test is left blank, HR will want to understand why. The main reason is that HR was curious: given a set amount of time, if you ran out of time or did not know the answers, why did you not finish by guessing?
Manager
1. Introduction to the job responsibilities
The main responsibilities involve developing and maintaining the electronic approval system, but also include other IT-related work, such as resolving user issues, hardware maintenance, program maintenance and development, data backup, and so on.
Therefore, the manager will want to know whether the candidate is open to learning new programming languages, as well as learning other IT-related knowledge.
2. What factors do you consider when evaluating a job?
3. After a new employee joins, they will receive a handover from a senior colleague transferring to another position. The senior colleague can be consulted if there are any questions.
4. Overtime is rare, but there may be a need to be on call or handle official duties remotely.
5. The company purchases online courses for everyone to take as part of its training program.
6. Laptops are used at work.
7. Because the company places importance on the English and logic tests, candidates whose test scores do not meet the standard will be required to retake the tests if hired.
8. Regarding salary, the manager said the company has set standards.
9. The work environment consists of open-plan office desks with no partitions on either side; colleagues can be seen in front of you.
Impressions:
1. Even if you do not know the answers on the logic test, you should guess your way through all of them, because the company considers it important and it feels like they will use it to judge what kind of person you are.
2. The job responsibilities are diverse, allowing you to learn many things, but they also feel somewhat scattered as a result. The company seems to be looking for people who can remain stable and stay for the long term.
3. I wrote questions about benefits and the year-end bonus, but neither HR nor the manager answered them.
Result: No response.
None
The job title and content do not match. The HR representative was very boastful, and the entire interview consisted of listening to them brag about how excellent Fubon's technology and Chunghwa Telecom are, yet in practice, they had nothing substantial to offer in terms of benefits. Another negative point is their lack of credibility: at the end of the interview, they said that applicants would be notified whether or not they were hired, but in reality, they did not even bother to send a rejection email.
