Leaving work on time

There is serious infighting within the company.

The middle managers are very bad, and they spend their working hours playing mobile games. The managers take all the benefits and leave all the responsibility to the engineers.

Elderly care unit

More officials than soldiers

Couldn’t sense any.

1. I strongly agree with the review from another commenter. The interview questions were very superficial, and it seemed that even the scope of the work had not been clearly defined. This was not a management position, yet the questions were related to corporate governance.

2. They are clearly developing software products, yet they said that Agile is not applicable.

3. The software products they have developed in the past appear to lack the technical capability to continue. I feel very sorry for the shareholders who invested in this company at the time.

4. The new office is in a fairly remote location in Xinzhuang.

Spacious work environment

At first, I received a job opening from HR. After accepting the invitation, I attended an on-site interview with the technical manager and future colleagues. The interview seemed to be looking for someone experienced, but the questions were not particularly deep. During the final Q&A, I got the impression that the colleagues had no memorable accomplishments in their work, while the manager seemed stretched too thin. A few days later, I received an invitation for a second interview with the owner, HR, and the manager from the previous interview. It looked quite formal, but in reality, the owner was mostly boasting about himself and the company, questioning the interviewee's previous company and experience. I felt that he was trying to cut the salary. After I stated my salary expectations, I was shown out and then ghosted. I had traveled a long way for the interview, only for it to be dismissed so hastily. The interviewers here lack the ability to assess candidates' capabilities and can only use their previous salary as an anchor for determining compensation, just as other reviews have mentioned.

1. Normal working hours

2. A training ground for engineers changing careers

1. During the interview, HR will ask about your salary at your previous company (N), then make an offer of N-1 to N-2 (you know what I mean)

2. Most of the engineers they can recruit are junior or blank slates, and layers of legacy code keep piling up

3. A company with relatively weak technical capabilities

The meeting room is very impressive.

During the interview, HR first had me fill out a self-assessment personality aptitude test. (There’s nothing wrong with that, but I have no idea where or how the results are used.)

Then someone from HR (apparently a supervisor) came over for the interview. They really just went through my résumé and asked questions based on it. It gave me the impression that they had only started looking at my résumé on the spot.

I was applying for a technical position, so later the technical supervisor came to speak with me.

After finding out that I hadn’t majored in a computer science-related field, they started trying every possible way to discourage me: “What you’ve been exposed to through self-study is still very superficial,” “If you haven’t taken formal courses, you won’t understand this knowledge,” “The technology used in our products is very deep,” “An interview isn’t just about the company finding someone; it’s also about the candidate finding a company. You should look for a job that aligns closely with your aspirations,” and “Do you really want to join our company?”

They didn’t give me any technical test afterward and simply ended the interview. I guess I probably won’t get the job.

....The problem is, your HR department was the one that proactively sent me this interview invitation, wasn’t it???

If you dislike candidates who didn’t major in the relevant field that much, then don’t send me an invitation in the first place, okay? Looking at it now, the line “We came across your résumé on OO Job Bank, and your education and experience left a good impression on us” is especially ironic. Did the manager of the department that’s hiring actually read my résumé? This is seriously ridiculous.

Leaving work on time

This company is a family business. The heads of RD and Sales are the boss’s own people, but they counterbalance each other.

What they have in common is that the managers never promote or give employees raises. The RD manager is relatively better. Although they lack technical ability, do not improve, and have a complete mess of the network architecture and firewall policies, they can still criticize others. To be honest, however, they strongly support their own employees.

The Sales manager is incompetent, with no sales skills, no understanding of relationship-building, no negotiation skills, and no idea how to manage a sales team. However, the Sales manager understands the boss and knows what will make the boss happy, so the Sales team has a miserable time and high turnover.

Compared with the RD manager, the Sales manager is refined and polite, but sinister and crafty. The boss is the kind of person who draws up grand promises but never delivers the promised rewards.

They often flatter the boss in public.

But no matter how much people complain about the company, or how capable someone is at improving this environment, nothing works because it is a family business.

The heads of the other departments are more like an administrative affairs team for the boss and the boss’s wife; employees are treated like household servants.

One advantage of the company is that the employees have good relationships with one another, because the environment is difficult and all the busy work involves handling internal problems.

RD salaries are fairly decent. Sales staff cannot receive bonuses. I heard FEA employees start at NT$26,000 and have never received a raise, working themselves to the bone.

The entire company atmosphere has been reduced to internal friction.

Don’t be fooled by how beautiful the office looks; this company is terrifying.
