The HR staff are polite (?)

I applied for a graphic design position.

Before even conducting an interview, they required me to submit an assigned task (photo editing + layout).

They also asked me to record a one-minute self-introduction video (why?).

It was extremely troublesome to prepare all that, only to not even be given an interview in the end.

I was so angry that my xx popped out.

The position has apparently been open forever on the job bank.

I imagine the turnover rate must be pretty high.

Um.....="= The environment is beautiful...

After reading through many posts, my conclusion is: excessive overtime is highly likely, with little or no extra pay; sudden layoffs without warning; and severe cliques.

There are currently no shifts, but shift work is planned.

Working past six is routine overtime, and working overtime on holidays is also routine.

The HR staff seem to have it quite tough too, having to make phone calls even on Saturdays and Sundays.

There is nothing in particular you need to be good at—in other words, you do not need to know anything or be particularly motivated.

You will not see people from other departments, nor will you have opportunities for promotion or to learn from other departments.

All they want are stable, long-term “workers.”

Personally, I think it is most suitable for mothers who want a stable salary (especially those who do not want to see their husbands or children).

A company everyone envies, yet with endless overtime: your pockets may be full, but you lose your quality of life.

High bonuses and good benefits

Severe cliquishness and a serious seniority-based culture

Overall, it is covered in the cons.

The interview process is cumbersome.

1. Sending resumes out among a sea of applicants

2. Waiting 1–2 weeks to receive a questionnaire (this does not mean you qualify for an interview; it only means you "might" meet the requirements)

3. Responding to the questionnaire > only those who meet the requirements can proceed to the interview

4. The interview is divided into three stages:

　(1) HR (a computer skills test and some small talk)

　(2) Department manager (a bunch of questions related to psychological tests, as well as question-and-answer prompts with no clearly correct answers)

　(3) Executive (actually, the questions are quite similar to those asked earlier; personally, I think they mainly look at your attitude in responding, abilities, and whether you click with the boss?)

※Personally, I think there is also a small evaluation stage: on the day of the interview, you fill out your resume in the security office. You definitely need to be humble and respectful—but not obsequious—toward the security guard. It probably gives you a few extra points～

Suitable for people who want to take on challenges and value a good work environment, high annual pay, and rapid growth

The base salary is neither particularly high nor particularly low, possibly because the annual compensation is high.

But how many people can make it to the end? It depends on whether you get along well with your supervisors!

Even if you have a good relationship with your coworkers, it’s hard to say—and in fact, your coworkers probably won’t have much interaction with you in the future anyway.

When you first join, you need to undergo training. The training period depends on the situation and may include picking orders > packing orders > handling returns, and so on.

Actually, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. On the one hand, it mainly helps you understand the company’s overall processes.

On the other hand, during special occasions—such as the Lunar New Year or times when shipping volume explodes—you may need to support other departments.

It depends on the position you apply for, but most positions require communication and discussion with various departments.

Although there are supervisors, everyone actually helps one another and exchanges opinions. Supervisors will suggest that you reach out to specific colleagues.

You need to be very quick to adapt. A supervisor may think something is good today, but next time want a bit of a change.

However, they won’t tell you what kind of change they want…so you have to do a lot of research and try different things

before you “might” be able to figure out the direction your supervisor wants.

Rather rigid, not much room to develop your ideas, cliques, and layoffs without warning

Ideas are often rejected, perhaps because it’s a large company and proposals need to be carefully verified!

Also, because of the company’s distinctive culture and way of thinking, there are limitations on many things you can do.

Proposals also need to go through multiple levels of approval, so the process actually takes a lot of time.

Because the “adults” aren’t free to look at your work every day, if the final result isn’t delivered on schedule,

it can be like telling a child to get up for school: they oversleep, but you get scolded, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

That’s the kind of situation it is…

Although colleagues in the department are quite willing to share their thoughts and opinions with one another, perhaps because the people who stay for a long time are all veterans,

everyone already has their own established groups, so it’s actually quite difficult to break in ((unless you’re naturally optimistic and outgoing.

And some people really have this expression that says…“Think it through, organize it, and email it to me before you talk to me, okay?”

Can’t everyone just get along harmoniously and work properly? ((crying already

I heard from colleagues who joined at the same time in different departments that quite a lot of people were laid off without warning.

Some were given two or three days’ notice, others one or two months—not only was there no warning, there often wasn’t even much of a reason… ugh, it’s pretty outrageous.

They say you don’t fit the company culture. It’s like breaking up with a partner by saying, “I don’t feel anything anymore”—so absurd.

Sharing the above with everyone.

If you can accept a whole bunch of fussy rules, then you’re suited for this place. (At the end of every workday, your desk must be completely cleared; the chairs in the employee break area must be neatly aligned. If you can accept this whole bunch of rules, then come on in.)

There is no overtime pay. Go search through PTT yourself for the working hours; you don’t need to ask me.

You have to write work logs as well as reflection reports on the boss’s articles. If you really love writing reports, then this place is also a good fit for you.

The annual salary is high. If you have a healthy body suitable for working yourself to the bone, just come collect it—and make sure you don’t end up handing it all over to the doctor!

Be one second late and you lose your perfect-attendance bonus, but with an extra NT$2,000 deducted from your annual salary—it’s no big deal. Up to you.

If you want to take special leave, it depends on the month. You can only take it when your department isn’t busy, and you have to request it 30 days in advance.

Typhoon days off are unpaid.

That’s all.
