Although this happened in 2021,

I still think about it, so I'll share it.

This company is one where, after accepting you, collecting your information, and verifying your salary,

the process can run until it silently gets stuck with no explanation!

You interview with the manager, only to be blocked by the hiring supervisor?

That's quite amusing too!

They were basically HR trying to trick other companies into revealing salary information, right?

The restaurant is pretty good, and there is a subsidy.

1. They don't respect people's professional expertise. Whatever mess there is, they just dump it on you. As long as you're an engineer, they don't care what you do—whether you write machine-control software or websites, if they want you to do it, you do it.

2. They make you go through a bunch of superficial training, then copy GG's mentor-apprentice system. The result is that those mentors are incredibly arrogant; ask them one question and they snap at you.

3. The pay isn't much, but there are an absurd number of hassles. By the end of a day, you have to write N different reports.

There are too many examples to list them all.

The manager is a nice person

I completed the entire process.

Then, a month later, HR said: You were originally accepted, but due to company policy, you were no longer accepted.

This is the most outrageous interview experience I’ve ever had.

After interviewing with HR and the manager, I received a verbal offer, but HR asked me to provide a printed copy of my salary statement from my previous company, claiming it was needed for salary approval. In the end, they ghosted me—it was merely a ploy by HR to obtain another company's salary structure; there was never actually a position available. Do not provide any information without receiving a formal offer. You can refuse to provide any personal information or other data.

(1) You can really just show up for an interview from 0900 to 1300, Monday through Friday. After completing the written test, the interview is conducted individually. Having a COSTCO right across the street is really great!

(2) They honestly tell you the detailed estimated salary (monthly and annual) and benefits upfront (see the next column for details).

(3) The applicant questionnaire already states whether you agree to have your days off occupied by training and further education, and whether you agree to report to work on typhoon days. (In other words, if you don't check the consent box, you naturally won't be hired.)

(4) No shift rotation is required. You work either a fixed day shift (0720–1920) or night shift (1920–0720). Also, according to the interviewer, overtime is now uncommon, meaning you really work three days on and three days off, rather than it eventually becoming four on and two off. (In my experience, jobs that initially say the schedule is normally four on and two off or two on and two off usually turn out to be five on and one off or three on and one off.)

(1) The entire interview process is extremely time-consuming. The estimated 0900–1100 timeframe is simply impossible. I attended the 9 a.m. session, and the whole process did not finish until after noon (there were only 6–7 people in my session). In addition, they wanted us to continue with an on-site tour or something in the afternoon, but after I asked about the salary and benefits and found them very unsatisfactory, I decided not to play along (only two people were interested in continuing with the afternoon itinerary, which reportedly started at 1400 or 1500).

(2) As usual, they only tell you the salary and benefits after asking for your detailed personal information and about your entire family background. The day-shift monthly salary is 24,500, with an annual salary of approximately 420,000 (this is the figure for a guaranteed annual salary of 16 months @@); there are currently no openings for the night shift, but I recall the monthly salary being listed as 26,000–28,000, with an annual salary of 460,000–480,000 (also based on a guaranteed 16-month annual salary).

If you want this job, you should seriously think it over.

The nearby hypermarket has pretty good food.

There seems to be no limit to how advanced Vanguard International Semiconductor is.

After three interviews, that was enough.

I missed the call from the woman notifying me about the interview.

When I called back, a different woman said the position was no longer available, so I asked her to leave a message asking the other woman to call me back.

It would have been fine if she hadn't called, but I thought she was too busy, so I called again.

Then someone inside even said that she had gotten off work.

But less than half an hour later, that woman called me back.

She asked, “Excuse me, did I call you?” ...30678

I let it go, thinking she was too busy.

The interviews have now dragged on from February into March, and the month is almost over.

The interview was originally scheduled for mid-month, but then I was told it was canceled.

Now I’m waiting to be notified. I know Vanguard International Semiconductor is very busy—it's a large company. But I didn’t expect the interview staff to be busy too.

Being busy would be one thing, but every time I have to confirm who is interviewing me and how many interviews there will be.

Are you kidding me? Shouldn’t the interview coordinator be interviewed again first????????

RD is being pressured by sales, wasting resources on overly customized things with all kinds of bizarre specifications.

This company is constantly understaffed, expecting one person to do the work of three. Whenever there is a vacancy, it always looks for people with higher qualifications or more certifications, yet cannot offer a commensurate salary. Some managers are parachuted in without understanding the actual nature of the department, creating a situation where multiple people are pulling in different directions, and the execution is completely misaligned with the department’s role. Most managers only focus on their own performance and always think their subordinates do not have enough work! Staying until eight or nine o’clock is considered expected! Managers who are particularly focused on achieving performance targets are even more likely to think that everything is their responsibility, completely unaware of the meaning of each person fulfilling their own role.

The managers at this company are extremely irresponsible. When problems arise, they appear to stand up for their subordinates but criticize them behind their backs, using their own employees as scapegoats. They are textbook two-faced people.
