The benefits are pretty good if you become a permanent employee.

The veterans generally don’t pay much attention to newcomers, and they rush through teaching things. Also, because it’s a factory site, there are many people with bad tempers. Some aspects—overtime, moving heavy objects, and other miscellaneous tasks—are very different from what was described before the interview. You really need to think it through carefully before joining… In addition, frequently taking leave may result in a meeting with management and a delay in the time it takes to become a permanent employee.

Individual seating

The company paints an overly grand picture of its products, fantasizing that they are on par with world-class brands. Also, it’s best to learn telepathy before joining—you absolutely have to know what your colleagues and supervisors are thinking. If your answer differs from the one in their heads, you’ll be subjected to all kinds of psychological manipulation.

Finally, every department in the company is setting traps for the others, so watch out for those long-timers and the colleagues around you.

Good luck with the job search, everyone.

Lunch costs 20 dollars.

A simple search reveals that the company is largely made up of graduates from second- and third-tier universities, with an overall low level of competence. Product design, both software and hardware, needs significant improvement.

The pay is stingy—low pay for lots of work.

The organizational planning is inflexible, and some senior executives are aloof; what they do is fundamentally undeserving of their positions.

1. The environment is very clean

2. The motorcycle parking area has a rain shelter

3. Lunch is very affordable, and there are many options

1. There are many Vietnamese colleagues on the production line, making communication difficult when problems arise at work

2. Many documents and forms are available only in paper format. There are far too many separate work report books, and some pages are not even used. The lack of widespread electronic document management is extremely environmentally unfriendly

4. The overtime policy is extremely difficult to understand. You do not find out until the afternoon whether you will need to work overtime that day. However, if you cannot work overtime, you are required to notify them that morning. Since overtime assignments are only announced in the afternoon, if you did not notify them in the morning, you may already be exhausted by the end of the day but still be unable to leave on time. It feels like semi-mandatory overtime

The sales manager will call you before the interview to chat and make small talk to feel you out. If it feels right, they’ll officially notify you about the interview. The overall impression is pretty good. Sales compensation is between NT$35,000 and NT$38,000, with a fuel subsidy of NT$5 per kilometer and no car allowance.

The week before your scheduled start date, they tell you that senior management didn’t approve it, so they no longer need you. Uh... what? WTF. I’ve never encountered anything like this in my life. Ridiculous.

The position I interviewed for was software-related.

After passing the basic interview, I was given an assignment to assess my abilities.

While completing the assignment, I realized that there was a significant gap in our understanding of structural concepts. I was expected to write everything strictly according to the specified structure, which made me unsure whether the assignment was meant to assess my abilities or whether I was simply doing outsourced programming work for them.

The OA office partitions are pretty good, suitable for coasting until retirement

1. The old-timers act as if they’re superior

2. A pile of miscellaneous tasks, with no technical skills to learn

3. When it’s time to leave, you still have to pretend to work overtime, without getting paid

4. You need to learn how to curry favor with your supervisor
