The company atmosphere is lively, and the receptionist was very friendly and easy to talk to. I was quite nervous at first, but I relaxed a lot in the end. The tests included a logic test and an English test, which took nearly an hour to complete, but fortunately they were fairly easy. During the interview, both HR and the supervisor were very kind, and they explained the company and its benefits in great detail. The battery industry seems to have a lot of potential, and the company appears to be quite reputable.

It was my first time riding into the Cianjhen Processing Export Zone, and I almost got lost. You should scout out the route in advance. Fortunately, there were plenty of parking spaces. The interview took quite a long time, so you need to set aside extra time.

No pros! From the moment I entered the interview building, everything was extremely strange (the reception desk staff were arguing).

HR notified me by phone, sent an email, and confirmed the interview time again. However, when I arrived for the interview, I had to fill out a standard application form and was then taken to a small room. After waiting for about half an hour, a supervisor who claimed to be a sales manager came in. He began explaining how great and famous Aishining was, without giving the interviewee any chance to speak. He also specifically explained how much I could contribute to marketing. I had clearly applied for a sales position, so why was marketing being brought into it? (That was what I asked.) The supervisor said they did not distinguish between departments. Although it appeared that there were different departments, everyone in every department had to divide up the work, so in practice there were no separate departments. He explained that if I came to work there, there was no point in talking further unless I was prepared to do marketing and generate sales. What an incredibly rude supervisor. I politely explained that I really was not a good fit, apologized, and left. This was the worst and most absurd job interview experience I have ever had. It felt somewhat like a pyramid scheme, so anyone going for an interview should really be careful.

It was my first time riding into the Cianjhen Export Processing Zone, and I almost got lost, so you should go early to find your way. Fortunately, there were plenty of parking spaces. The interview took quite a long time, so you need to set aside extra time. HR notified me by phone, sent an email, and confirmed the interview time again. When I arrived for the interview, I had to fill out a standard résumé form and was then taken to a small room. After waiting for about half an hour, a supervisor who claimed to be from the IT department came in and began asking about technical matters. They asked about the relationship among an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

They also specifically explained that, for this IT position, one person would have to face the front line, and that not knowing UNIX was not a problem. They then asked what the four-in-one security solution—firewall, AV, IPS, and AS—that I had maintained was. They said that this four-in-one solution would only be purchased when necessary, and also said that I had not provided the technical answer or mindset they were looking for. Their statements were contradictory and inconsistent, so anyone going for an interview should really take note.

HR proactively replied about whether I was accepted, but it took almost a month.

The interview process involved two rounds. The first was scheduled by phone, and I had to take two hours off work. They also didn’t mention which subjects would be tested.

HR strongly encouraged me to come in, saying it would be good to take a look, which made me feel highly valued.

I was invited to the Taipei office for an interview. The interviewer was male. The following are several issues that the headquarters should review.

1. The interviewer repeatedly interrupted me during the conversation and had a flippant attitude. I did my best to remain polite throughout, but in reality, just five minutes into the interview, he already seemed eager to end it and leave.

2. I was given only five minutes to introduce my thesis, so I could explain only the core points roughly. However, the interviewer did not seem interested in understanding it and asked questions unrelated to the thesis, which felt extremely disrespectful. I have lived in Europe and can understand British, Russian, Indian, French, and Australian accents, but I genuinely could not understand the interviewer’s accent when he insisted on using English terms to ask about my thesis. As a result, I could not understand his questions, yet the interviewer assumed that I did not understand my own thesis.

3. I traveled a long way to interview at your company, only to realize within the first five minutes that I would not be hired and that the interviewer was not interested! As a matter of courtesy, I sincerely asked about your company and the position, but received responses such as, “You don’t need to understand that” and “You don’t need to understand this either.”

4. I am not lacking other job opportunities. However, for an interviewee who is not yet a company employee and was strongly invited by HR to come to the office for an interview, encountering this kind of situation is unacceptable. I hope your company will carefully examine the seriousness of this issue. Even if an interviewee is not an ideal candidate, they should still be treated with respect during the interview; the interview should not end as though the person is being hurried out. I hope your company can improve.

HR proactively called and emailed multiple times to arrange the interview

The outcome was probably the most disastrous interview I’ve ever had~

At the beginning, they didn’t say there would be an English test. After arriving, I had to answer a large number of TOEIC-like questions, and my results that day were not ideal, so I was subjected to some sarcastic and cold remarks. The PM position at this company requires directly facing overseas clients and chairing meetings, so they place great importance on English. I was also criticized for graduating from a non-engineering department (but isn’t that because HR strongly encouraged me to apply in the first place?). If the position was restricted to certain majors, they shouldn’t have wasted my time by inviting me to interview... I found it very baffling at the time!

The main interviewer asked many questions. Whenever they felt that my answer wasn’t what they wanted, they would ask the same question several times... (finally making an expression like, “Oh my~ How could this be?”). It actually felt terrible, but I still politely put on a smile and ended an unpleasant interview.

With a lax work attitude, it is a fairly decent place for those who just want to get by.

The company distinguishes between indirect and direct employees. Indirect employees are all under a responsibility-based work system, but their pay is based on hourly-wage levels; even when working overtime during the Lunar New Year period, they are only given compensatory leave.

The company uses a KPI evaluation system, but it is purely for reference. Department managers have the authority to give someone a score of 0 directly.

The company places unsuitable personnel in important positions. For example, for the PM position, it hired someone who graduated from a language department and had no professional background at all.
