You can start working right after signing up

These are the tearful words of an engineer who was outsourced, then outsourced again, by HR Lynn (Lin) at X Fan Technology. The company is located in Xinyi District and is easy to find using a map or navigation app.

I urge everyone considering applying to think twice! The interview process here is extremely chaotic,

and after joining, there are absolutely no benefits to speak of. Most frighteningly,

there is no professional management system within the company; everything is decided by the supervisor. This supervisor never knows what she wants to do,

decides to do whatever comes to mind each day, and often completely changes her mind a few hours later. There are countless absurd and ridiculous incidents at the company:

Spider-Man appears in the office; employees have to handle the supervisor’s personal scallion pancakes; and when the supervisor gets lost while driving, employees have to act as remote navigators and give directions.

Even more heartless, when someone previously took leave to attend a cancer-related funeral, the company actually made things difficult and refused to grant the leave.

I seriously question how this company has managed to survive for more than 20 years. A bloodsucking company.

Because their activities never change at all—they simply copy and paste the previous year’s content. Whenever the supervisor feels that things have decreased or the end of the year arrives,

that is when the old supervisor goes on a firing spree. Here, only unpaid overtime is considered a sign of a good employee.

The supervisor never has any idea what employees are busy with, believing that “if you’re not doing something for her, it doesn’t count as working.”

Whenever she sees employees working overtime, she becomes especially happy, cheerfully greets everyone, and tells employees to keep working and continue working overtime.

But as long as you are not helping her handle her “side business,” she assumes that any employee she dislikes is just wasting time, and fires them within a few days.

HR Ms. Vivian Hsieh asked many questions during the call, even asking whether I could provide documents from my past project development work for Puhong's supervisor to review. After I sent the project résumé file to Ms. Hsieh the next day, there was no response at all. This was extremely disrespectful to the interviewee.

The HR representative from this company called and only asked about your previous salary, whether many people are currently trying to recruit you, and which programming languages you had used before. Then they asked whether you had heard of the company; if not, they started introducing it.

After asking for your personal information, they asked whether you were interested in on-site work. Naturally, I asked what the work would generally involve and what types of systems I might be responsible for developing, but they only said that I would know if I came in for an interview. They only mentioned that the clients were Taishin and Cathay. Finally, the HR representative said they would send me the job description on 104, but what I saw was another canned message asking whether I was interested, and it did not answer the questions either. Should the manager check whether this HR representative is suitable for the job? It made me feel that they were merely gathering market intelligence. If you are asked about this, just brush it off; after all, the HR representative was not seriously trying to recruit anyone.

One of the three rudest interviews I have ever experienced. Throughout the conversation, they seemed to deliberately or inadvertently project an attitude of “I wasn’t planning to hire you anyway.” They kept repeating, “We are a listed company,” though I’m not sure what they were trying to show off about. But when it came to salary, they said, “We’re neither a gambling company nor a startup, so we won’t offer that much.”

They were mainly looking for someone to work on-site at a life insurance company. How should I put it? I’ve met quite a few managers, but I’ve never seen a small-time employee act so superior—more high and mighty than managers at major companies. If you want to experience interviewing with an emperor, give it a try. Don’t forget to kneel and bow, and chant, “Long live His Majesty, ten thousand years!”

If the person interviewing you has this kind of attitude, you can imagine what the company culture is like. You’ll run into self-important imperial heirs everywhere there, you know.

The interview was thorough, and the benefits are excellent; it’s an industry with strong growth potential and a promising future. Most importantly, the interviewer was extremely nice.

The interview time was difficult to arrange. I’m not sure whether they were simply too busy.

I went to the company for an interview in mid-July. The interviewing supervisor explained the position in great detail and also shared many possible directions for career development. I gained a lot from this interview.

There are chairs to sit on at the interview location

I agree with what the netizen said about them randomly sending out interview invitations without sincerely intending to hire anyone.

They change the scheduled time whenever they want, but don’t allow others to change it. I told them which time slots I was available this week, but the other party responded rudely as if they hadn’t heard me. When I asked again, they demanded in a commanding tone that I tell them which time slots I was available.

The recruiter is Ms. Hsieh.

I hope no other job seekers fall victim.

In southern Taiwan, the salary and benefits are fairly decent, but after a while, you may feel that the work you do is worth more than what the company provides in pay and benefits.

The company hires people merely as disposable employees. On average, after about six months, they will find a way to get rid of you. They will not proactively lay you off; instead, they use many unfriendly tactics to subject you to pressure from various sides until you can no longer stand it and resign. This is not an isolated case—there are known to be at least five or more people who have experienced this.

The company has countless unreasonable practices. Although there are many applicants, what they want are inexperienced new hires with lower educational qualifications. That way, when they get rid of you, you are less likely to challenge the company. Employees with at least one year of labor insurance seniority can claim unemployment benefits if they are laid off, so if you have been there for less than a year, you are an ideal choice for them. The process of cycling through new hires is the same every year, and the company also has many practices that violate regulations, so please choose carefully.

The benefits are okay.

It feels very casual, and there isn't much respect for job applicants. It feels like I was tricked into coming for an interview.

Randomly sending interview invitations without genuine intent to hire.

RD & PG have to buy their own laptops, but you only receive a monthly subsidy of NT$600.

There is no overtime pay for working extra hours because there is no system for reporting overtime.

The bonuses are small; even if the company goes public, the owner profits while employees' salaries and benefits remain largely unchanged.
