Terrible company

Whatever you do, don't come to the S3 fab—you'll regret it.

The editor works in the yellow-light room, where many departments have only one person and are extremely busy.

You can only spend five minutes in the restroom. If you exceed the time, you have to explain why.

The work environment involves frequent exposure to chemicals and is very dangerous.

The company is extremely terrible.

I wanted to resign after only two days on the production line.

None

1. HR was padding their performance metrics by randomly contacting candidates (without discussing or confirming with the relevant department manager).

2. After spending an hour and a half taking an intelligence and English test, I was interviewed by a male interviewer who had more hair gel than hair and poor English. He insisted on conducting the interview in English, continually spending time figuring out how to translate Chinese into English. In the end, he couldn't even convey the meaning of the most basic terms. He asked several questions that could only be answered fully by someone with 3.5 years of experience in this industry, yet the job posting stated that experience was not required.

I recommend not wasting your time.

Punctual working hours (no more than half an hour off); because business performance is dismal, many departments actually aren’t very busy.

It’s quite suitable for taking it easy, if the company doesn’t go under.

It’s very important to curry favor and serve those above you as their junior; you’ll have a very comfortable time. Highly recommended.

People form cliques and ostracize and bully newcomers.

But even the most senior veterans have been there no more than seven or eight years. The company, Epistar, has been around for twenty years, so I don’t know where the long-term employees have gone after changing jobs.

The supervisor's attitude was okay.

The position applied for was not a technician position.

HR may have a KPI based on the number of interviewees. Before the interview, I had to take tests in Chinese, mathematical logic, English listening, and reading, then fill out a health information form. Before the interview, I also had to take a personality test and provide a contact list of two friends; the fields could not be left blank or filled in with relatives or family members.

Then, before the results were even available, I had a brief conversation with the supervisor. The supervisor also seemed unsure why HR had invited me for an interview and felt that I could go home. The supervisor seemed somewhat apologetic about this, suggesting that they had not reviewed my résumé beforehand.

If you receive an interview invitation, make sure to clarify things with HR in advance and tactfully confirm the details; otherwise, you may easily make a wasted trip.
