歐立利國際展覽設計股份有限公司

The interview introduced the company’s current status and prospects, the job responsibilities, and also included a personality assessment and application Q&A... The interview lobby had a pleasant environment, and the overall atmosphere was good.

There is a performance bonus, with a primarily performance-oriented approach.

The salary is higher than the market rate, which is quite attractive.

The interview questions were quite detailed, and I found them a little difficult to handle... I can’t think of anything else.

The atmosphere among colleagues is harmonious, and everyone’s professionalism and spirit of service are truly exceptional. Being busy is the norm in the exhibition industry, but everyone is very willing to share their experience and offer assistance.

No company is perfect, but with professional colleagues who are willing to shoulder responsibilities together, you can absolutely grow together here.

The office is bright

The best thing is that the lunch break is longer than at most companies

The company has cats

The open-plan space can sometimes be a bit lively

The office is beautiful, there is a coffee machine, snacks and fruit during worship, and a refrigerator, microwave, oven, etc.

The environment feels very comfortable.

The company seems to have a fairly high turnover rate, and overall, my experience during the interview process was not very good.

(I also personally feel that it would be more appropriate to discuss salary after first understanding the job responsibilities.)

However, the above is only my personal experience, so everyone is welcome to go for an interview and see for themselves.

The office is bright and clean

Most employees are young

Low pay

Low pay

Low pay

The office is quite nice, but there are no other advantages.

The price of convenient transportation is that the MRT and bus stations are packed with people during lunch and dinner times and commuting hours. No matter how convenient it is, you still can’t get a meal or board a vehicle.

First, the conclusion: many of the comments here are being generated from the same IP address. Since I couldn’t find any satisfactory reviews online, I went to the interview in person. My takeaway after the interview was: “Run.” Details below:

1. HR shows very little respect for professional expertise and randomly cuts salaries. The “salary negotiable” wording posted online is just for show.

2. Benefits: one month of year-end bonus, and NT$1,000 each for the three major holidays (???

3. The boss is well known in the industry for being emotional.

4. The business-trip allowance for “Europe and the Americas” is US$40/EUR40 per day. At other large companies, this is even lower than the going rate for business trips in the “Asia-Pacific region.”

5. The position I applied for requires regular overtime, with on-call duties on weekday evenings and holidays.

It’s a flashy-looking but ????? company. Even if you want to pad your résumé or gain experience, don’t come here. Don’t let yourself be treated as disposable.

Here is the interview process:

1. Before the interview, you must complete and return your résumé.

2. On the day of the interview, you must first complete an aptitude test and a personal information form covering your reasons for leaving previous jobs, personal strengths and weaknesses, future career plans, and so on.

3. After completing the above, the position I applied for also required two written tests: translating two pieces of exhibition-related regulations from English into Chinese, and replying to a business email in English. You only get 15 minutes to answer. (ChatGPT could solve these problems in 30 seconds. You might as well conduct the interview entirely in English to assess English ability.)

4. Afterward, HR came to discuss salary first and answered questions about benefits and compensation. Then they told me that the offer for new hires would not exceed NT$40,000, completely disregarding professional abilities and work experience and cutting it directly to below NT$40,000.

5. After HR, I interviewed with the department managers. There were two managers that day. After asking me to introduce myself, they immediately began explaining the job duties. Later, I felt that I should have listened to the job description before discussing salary with HR, because, as mentioned above, the department hiring for this position has only four people. It is a department that has to be on call at all times (weekday evenings, entire holidays, and throughout business trips), deal with the attitudes of clients and subcontractors, frequently handle miscellaneous tasks for the chairman, and directly face the chairman’s emotions. I asked the managers what was appealing about the job. They said, “It’s not boring.” The conclusion is that, as long as you can accept your professional abilities being undervalued, low pay, long hours, high pressure, and poor benefits, you can be “not bored.” Before the interview ended, the managers also asked me to seriously consider whether I really wanted to enter this industry. Finally, I recommend this company to anyone who doesn’t want to be bored. That’s all.

The office is bright, with a refrigerator and coffee machine. There are snacks during worship rituals (you have to be quick or you won’t get any).

Basically, the company’s Administration Department provides the resources needed for work, including stationery and materials, and there is enough of everything.

Departments with good managers are filled with laughter every day; departments with bad managers are filled with people being scolded every day.

There are also three adorable cats to pet, and everyone gets along well with their colleagues.

Unfortunately, I ended up in a bad department. The department manager is basically a paper tiger, and the manager is effectively sidelined.

They often use work hours to handle their own personal affairs and love discussing subordinates’ private lives or gossiping behind their backs.

They love saying during meetings that they are going to lay people off, and often use emotional manipulation, claiming they are carrying the entire department even though the people being scolded are always the subordinates.

They often scold people before figuring out the situation. When they discover that it was their own mistake, they pretend nothing happened and brush it off.

They refuse to communicate with subordinates, and their communication skills also need improvement. In short, things are basically fine as long as you don’t join this department.

The salary is about 5,000 higher than at other companies in the same industry where I previously worked.

The lunch break is relatively long, so you can take a nap, and there is also a perfect-attendance bonus.

I do not recommend this workplace to designers; the turnover rate is too high.

The work requires discussions with the sales team, but the sales staff push problems onto designers by calling them design issues, even though the details were not clarified at the beginning.

Also, the seats are very close to the people behind you. Some colleagues completely disregard whether they are in a public setting: they cough and spit openly, and play music loudly through their headphones as if they were speakers, without caring whether you want to hear it.

Of course, wearing headphones can help you avoid these noises, but then you cannot hear colleagues calling you and will get scolded.

They call it a relaxed environment, but so many people come to work wearing slippers that it is no longer relaxed—it is just careless.

And some people are protected by management. More senior designers can spend two or three hours a day smoking or be late every day without consequences because their supervisors cover for them.

But what about new employees? You are on your own.

The office is an open-plan environment. Transportation nearby is very convenient, with the MRT and YouBike. If you commute by scooter, there are also parking lots and spaces nearby. Since it is in the Nangang Software Park, there is a food court downstairs, so you do not have to get rained on, and there are also many restaurants and bubble tea shops nearby. They are fairly bold when it comes to salary offers, which should be above the industry average (at least based on the two interviews I had, I could feel a difference). They also ask more detailed questions about the job, including your previous work situation and the best policies or systems at your former company (I am not sure whether they want to use them as a reference). They have a personality test that is quite similar to the “Nine Core Competencies” assessment on job banks.

When filling out the questionnaire during the interview, they asked applicants to write about the worst policy or system at their previous company, which was a little strange. Also, the company has cats, so it may not be suitable for people with allergies. They also asked about my thoughts on working overtime (I feel the answers are probably similar in the design and exhibition industries: there will be overtime, depending on whether it is the busy or slow season, I suppose). I am still waiting to hear back.

The office park is near an MRT station, with many bus routes, so commuting to work is convenient.

There are also plenty of food options, including many chain restaurants.

The restrooms are clean.

There is a 1.5-hour lunch break, and working hours are flexible.

The company has a cute cat.

The chairs are comfortable.

The department manager is great and frequently handles issues of all sizes, so subordinates are not left to face criticism themselves.

The work is manageable, and I can complete it independently with my abilities.

The position does not frequently require overtime.

When you first arrive, you may think the office is large and beautiful.

After being there for a while, you realize there is no private space (it is a large open-plan office). If another department speaks loudly, everyone knows what they are saying.

The floor is terrible! When someone walks by, it feels like an earthquake.

When I first started, it took me a long time to adjust, and I felt dizzy every day.

There are many people who meddle in others' affairs.

The company has no clear promotion system; everything depends on the boss's mood.

When the boss is in a bad mood, he scolds people without giving them any consideration. You have to wait until he finishes scolding you, and you can only respond with the answer he has already decided on—the one he wants to hear. Any other answer gets harshly shut down. As mentioned earlier, the office is open-plan, so everyone can hear.

Whether you are a newcomer or a veteran, if you do not meet his expectations, he will simply scold you.

The boss often suddenly decides that he wants you to change something.

The company's administrative management system is poor.

During the pandemic, there was no staggered scheduling, no rapid tests were provided, and working from home was not offered.

The boss only cares about keeping the company operating normally, regardless of whether employees are diagnosed.

Female employees cannot take menstrual leave.

The administrative and HR manager is a smiling tiger: she often speaks to you with a smile, but says very unpleasant things about you behind your back and whispers in the boss's ear. Her department frequently has very high turnover; at one point, five or six people came and went in a single month. You can imagine why...

There is no intermediate decision-maker; everything follows the boss's wishes.

To put it bluntly, the company's structure is essentially communism.

If you are truly unlucky enough to join, find out for yourself!

The cats are cute, and there are snacks to eat

The office environment is good

A one-and-a-half-hour lunch break

Many convenient lunch options in Nankang Software Park

The boss scolds the sales staff in a rather humiliating manner. Sometimes they start yelling without understanding the situation.

HR doesn’t know how to manage people.

Before the interview and onboarding, they smile and speak gently.

After you start, it’s different. They’re busy every day, and the experienced employees leave after training newcomers for just a few days.

When you make a mistake, HR attacks you in a very emotional manner, asking how you could do things this way.

They also lash out at you in public without understanding the situation.

They tell other departments that you’re not okay, making themselves look completely blameless.

Forcing five administrative employees out in one month is apparently no exaggeration.

One final note:

My family is also in a related industry.

The company is large and quite well-known in the industry in many respects.

If you want to pursue this industry, staying at Olympe longer should give you decent career prospects after you leave (I guess?)

The company is very close to an MRT station, and the office environment is generally open. After arriving at the company, you first fill out an aptitude test and answer some simple questions; the whole process takes nearly 1.5 hours. The interview content is not tricky. The department manager and HR manager conducted the interview together, explained the job responsibilities and company resources in considerable detail, and answered every question. Overall, the interview process was fairly pleasant.

I felt that I hadn’t prepared very well and that my answers weren’t very good..

I applied for a position in a startup’s department and was told by the interviewers that it was a newly established department. There were three interviewers. I was nervous during the interview and felt that my performance was not ideal. The interviewers said there were many candidates and that I would be notified within two weeks if there was a second interview (I was a little worried that I might not even get the chance XD). After waiting two weeks, I finally received news about the second interview. When I got the call, I was extremely excited—the only word that can describe it is “f***ing awesome.” The second interview was with the boss. Fortunately, I had organized all my previous work into a very systematic portfolio well in advance, redeeming myself, so the second interview was relaxed and went smoothly. I lived up to expectations and got the job. I am very confident in my professional skills and ability to handle the work. In addition, I am proactive and responsible in my approach to work, and I hope to work side by side with the company to meet its expectations. Compared with my previous company, the work environment is quite good; it feels very energetic. During the interview, they introduced the colleagues I would be working with in the department, and they were really nice.

I heard that overtime is common (and overtime pay is provided). Since I’m used to—and actually enjoy—working overtime, it doesn’t have much of an impact on me. Overtime also indicates that the company’s business is booming (though if overtime is caused by an individual’s lack of ability, that’s not right). I hope I can earn a little extra through overtime… having work to do and getting paid for it… that’s good enough for me.

The office space is very large and comfortable, and colleagues look after one another. There are three adorable cats that can provide comfort at any time. It is a happy and liberating place where you can be surrounded by art and design every day. In addition to the salary, the company also provides a perfect-attendance bonus every month. There are an incredible number of delicious food options downstairs and nearby, so you never have to worry about not knowing what to eat for lunch.

The workload is heavy, making it a good place to hone your abilities. Working hours start at 9:00 a.m. and end at 6:00 p.m.; you cannot leave early on a flexible schedule (such as starting at 8:30 a.m. and leaving at 5:30 p.m.), but you can start later and leave later flexibly (though you will then not receive the perfect-attendance bonus).

I am a working professional in my second year after graduation. For me, there are many opportunities to learn. My supervisor often assigns me tasks on short notice, which trains my ability to respond flexibly. The senior colleagues who teach me are very willing to help, so the overall experience is quite good. The boss also has high expectations, which is something I need to learn from.

Every company has a different culture, and each has its differences. The boss’s high expectations are stressful for me, but they are also an advantage because they help me grow quickly. Ultimately, this depends on each individual’s experience and perception.

The company's reputation can enhance my qualifications, and its one-stop operational resources are abundant.

I’m somewhat afraid of cats and need to overcome it.

Relationships with colleagues and the office atmosphere are quite good. Employee turnover is not high, and there are quite a few colleagues who have been here for a long time.

The salary conditions are considered good in the industry. Basically, capable people here do not have to worry about lacking a stage on which to perform.

Open-plan offices have both advantages and disadvantages; sometimes the neighboring department speaks too loudly, which can be a bit noisy.

1. The office is bright, extra-large, and spacious. As expected of a design company, I fell in love at first sight during my interview with the white-based color scheme.

2. There is music in the lounge, a bar counter in the pantry, and a kitchen where employees can freely cook. Every day, there is an unlimited supply of free freshly ground coffee to enjoy, as well as snacks from the monthly offerings. If you don't want to cook for yourself, there's no need to worry. Whether it's rainy or sunny, you won't have to worry because there are tons of places to eat nearby (although not at night, since the businesses here close very early in the evening).

3. Whether it's the boss, managers, or even employees, everyone has an artistic quality. It's a free, uninhibited, and straightforward place where people can exchange and discuss ideas with one another. It's very interesting.

4. As long as you have perfect attendance, you receive a monthly perfect-attendance bonus of NT$1,500. That's an annual raise of NT$18,000 for yourself.

1. The air conditioning in the office is too cold...

2. The company has three cats, so there is occasionally cat hair on the desks because the cats jump onto the workstations and rub against things. Then you become a cat person.

3. The boss is a passionate learner and therefore hopes the employees will learn together as well. As a result, the company frequently holds seminars on design, aesthetics, and professional knowledge, and sometimes even pays for you to attend external courses. Then you keep learning and force yourself to expand your mental capacity.

1. A high degree of freedom in how you work, and the atmosphere is pretty good. 2. Colleagues are friendly and communication is fairly good. 3. The office environment is comfortable. 4. All-you-can-drink coffee~ 4. Flexible working hours and a long lunch break. 5. As long as you have talent, the boss actually values talented people. 6. The three cats who are the bosses will come by to inspect your desk from time to time~ XD 7. It feels like the company is actively transforming and is highly receptive to new information and technologies, so you can gain quite a bit of experience.

1. The systems and procedures are relatively unclear, so you have to ask more senior colleagues how to handle things.

2. You have to spend some time waiting for the elevator when arriving at work.

The office is about a 5-minute walk from Nangang Exhibition Center, and the open-plan space doesn't feel cramped.

The elevator takes a long time.

Pros

Bright environment

Flexible working hours (no need to worry about occasional traffic problems and anxiously wonder whether you'll be late for work)

Overtime is compensated with overtime pay or compensatory leave (I haven't had this benefit in a long time—I'm absolutely touched)

There are three adorable cats (I've become a cat person...)

For me, learning across industries means having to work harder than others. But this... probably shouldn't even count as a drawback—it's another kind of training and a way to accumulate experience.

I am a graphic designer who has left the company. Overall, it is a company that can serve as a stepping stone. There are plenty of resources, and of course you should move on when a better opportunity comes along. Basically, overtime is rarely necessary. I only saw the 3D designers working overtime frequently, but they can receive performance bonuses (I heard they are quite high!), so I think it should be fine if they are paid well. My work was very straightforward, and I was not asked to do anything outside of design, which I thought was great. The outsourcing is also handled by other departments, so you really only need to focus on design. The colleagues get along well and are easy to work with. The company has a cat named Oululu who is the heart of the entire company. When the administration sends an email asking everyone to look for Oululu after the cat goes missing, all the employees spontaneously put down their work and search together. It is all because Oululu is too adorable. The benefits are also pretty good: in addition to the standard holiday bonuses, there is an unlimited supply of free fruit every week, a birthday cash gift each month, and a perfect-attendance bonus of 1,500.

Drawbacks

The boss has a design background, so her standards are extremely, extremely, extremely high—frighteningly high. Your work may be revised hundreds of millions of times (depending on the project; some things do not need to go through her). Even when the deadline is already tight, she may still request major revisions. At times like that, you can only work overtime. However, the chances of having a project that is both extremely urgent and subject to major revisions are about once or twice a year. In the end, the finished work is good, since she does have a design background. The boss's emotional shifts can catch you off guard. If you cannot keep up with her thinking, you should expect to be scolded. You need to be able to handle a lot of pressure to work under her. As for company trips, I basically feel that there are none, because you have to use your own vacation days to arrange time off. The company-travel subsidies also vary by seniority. If that is the case, I would rather pay for an overseas trip myself. I do not know how many years of service it takes before the company-travel subsidy becomes substantial.

The colleagues are very nice.

If I were to describe the chairman with a proverb, this one would be quite apt: “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Your company should just stop posting job openings and looking for people!

It’s a waste of everyone’s time.

I also advise everyone not to waste your time,

he is not as wonderful as you imagine.

1. Spacious and well-lit office

2. Different fruits available every week

3. A 5-minute walk from the MRT station

4. Opportunity to experience various types of exhibitions

5. Colleagues are generally friendly

1. The culture of working overtime is too severe, and overtime can only be reported after 8 p.m., which is clearly illegal.

2. The chairman publicly verbally bullies employees, berating them without distinguishing right from wrong, using offensive language that comes close to defaming employees.

3. The workload is too heavy. Conditions vary somewhat between departments, but overtime is common overall.

4. Upon joining, employees are required to sign a non-compete clause, but its content does not mention receiving half pay after resignation; it only includes clauses favorable to the employer.

5. The company's management culture is tough and high-pressure.

A 1.5-hour lunch break, three cats for company, and a mountain of fruit to enjoy every week.

Although overtime is supposedly based on your own progress, the work schedule is still very tight. If they suddenly tell you that you have to finish something today, you’ll have to work overtime!

Leaving the company was not a pleasant experience. They simply said, “You’re not suitable; this isn’t commercial design,” and asked me to leave. I feel that design itself is highly subjective. If there were so-called “commercial design templates” accepted by the company that employees could refer to, I would have left feeling truly convinced and satisfied. In addition, the company did not comply with the Labor Standards Act’s required notice period. I was notified very suddenly that day, and left the company after hurriedly handing over my work and packing up. I even had to privately ask HR for the involuntary separation certificate afterward. I sincerely feel that this was very unprofessional and disrespectful!

I recommend that anyone joining should be sufficiently experienced to hold their ground, and should also understand what the company considers to be “commercial design.”

1. Large company with a large-scale operation; there are three cats in the office for companionship.

2. There is fruit every week (although most of the time, there’s no time to eat it).

3. The employees are nice.

4. The endurance required is off the charts.

I am a 3D designer who left the company:

1. I work past 8 p.m. every day, rushing to finish projects day and night.

2. The turnover rate is very high.

3. The salary includes overtime pay.

4. Meeting the targets required for profit sharing and bonuses is an impossible mission.

5. The company likes hiring newcomers. Newcomers want to learn 3D, while the company only wants someone to work on projects. The people training them become exhausted (because once the newcomers have learned enough, they move to another company).

I suggest not joining such a large company. It is better to leave on time—or at least not too late—every day to avoid burning yourself out.

If the boss understood rewards and recognition as clearly as Terry Gou and treated employees well, I believe the work environment would improve.

Remember, Germans place great importance on work quality and the working environment. If only a boss who had worked in Germany could bring that kind of atmosphere and customs to Taiwanese workplaces—wouldn’t that be wonderful?!

Everyone who comes out of here is very resilient.

In the 3D department, each person is assigned one project per day, not including plugin modifications, waiting for sales to confirm details, or attending meetings. Working overtime is extremely normal here. The salary may appear generous, but it actually includes overtime pay (compared with other companies, the salary is actually quite low). Working overtime until 8–11 p.m. every day is a frequent occurrence. To be honest, the benefits aren’t very good either.
