The company is in an extremely remote location, somewhere even buses can't reach, and you still have to climb a small hill to get to the office. As soon as I entered, the place was chaotic and completely disorganized—the work environment looked terrible at a glance. The interview was conducted right there in the office, with no privacy at all. However, because of that, I could hear the previous candidate's entire interview clearly.

The boss went on at length praising the previous candidate as a top student, then said things like, “In ancient times, you needed brains to fight wars. Someone like you is excellent—a top student.” (There was a lot more, which I won't go into; basically, everything he said implied that he himself was also very capable and clever.) He then started talking about some recent LINE program or something, trying to show that he was keeping up with the times. The boss's personality was already fully revealed through the way he spoke: an arrogant old man who flaunts his seniority.

The main point is that I waited for ten minutes, and then he suddenly asked a colleague to give me an intelligence test containing eight math questions!? The job I was interviewing for had nothing to do with math! So was he testing my intelligence? When I received the test paper, I felt insulted and no longer wanted to interview. Later, when it was my turn, I had just sat down when the boss asked, “Where do you live? Do you think the company is far?” I said it was somewhat far, and he replied, “Everything you wrote is very good. Go home and think about the distance first, then come back.” He immediately asked me to leave?!!!!!! And just like that, I was sent away! What an impolite boss and an impolite company!

After I walked out, another interview candidate came out too. He had also been interviewed for less than ten minutes... He hadn't even taken the test... Only the top student from earlier was left. From what I heard, his qualifications seemed very good too. I hope he finds an even better job—he deserves it!

In the end, all I can say is: if you want to do good “business,” first learn to be a good “person”! Business is about dealing with people—even a rookie like me knows that.

I applied for an internal assistant position. At the beginning, I completed a test with questions similar to a logic assessment. Afterwards, the boss asked about some basic information from my résumé. They said that, as a small company, there is a lot to learn and that patience is needed. They also said that employees leave work on time, there is no need to work overtime, and weekends are off. It felt pretty good. If I get the opportunity to be hired, I would really like to take on the challenge.

During the somewhat lengthy interview, you can actually take the opportunity to observe and get a feel for the culture of this company. It isn't really a bad thing.

I applied for an internal administrative position. Upon arrival, I first completed a test with questions similar to a math and logic exam, followed by some basic questions about my résumé. The boss said that working hours end on time, with no overtime required, and that the company has a five-day workweek and takes public holidays off, following the practices of government agencies. I felt this was quite good~~ They also mentioned that, because it is a small company, there would be more things to learn and do, and that I should apply if I could accept that. If I have the opportunity to be hired, I would quite like to give this job a try.

The interview takes quite a long time. The advantage is that both the employer and the applicant can learn more about each other, but on the other hand, it also takes up more time..

Leaving work on time. The boss says this means working one extra hour every day, with no overtime on Fridays. There is supposedly a bonus each month, but since I never received an actual payslip, I don't know whether the bonus was paid or how it was calculated. The boss also occasionally treats everyone to cold drinks, and on Fridays treats everyone to lunch. In the afternoon, there is some time when we can use the company's karaoke machine to sing, but we still have to work, so personally I don't think this provides much meaningful relaxation.

At first, I applied for a position as a 3D printing management trainee. In reality, I worked for five days, from May 22 to May 26. Then, when I returned to work after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the boss's wife told me, “The boss has decided to let you take a break,” and then I was fired.

I want to tell everyone what I saw and experienced during those five days of work, as well as during the interview.

《Interview》

The work environment is basically the first floor of the boss's home. Besides me, there were three female colleagues and the boss's wife, and there were no partitions between the desks. The interview was conducted in the same environment, meaning that the entire interview with the boss was not private. The most absurd question I remember was how much pocket money I received each month when I was in college, and how much my family's monthly pension was. He then gave me two intelligence tests and a blank sheet of paper and asked me to write a career plan. After I started working, I also saw the boss interview other people. If he did not like someone, he would not even give them the intelligence tests. He invariably asked about their expected salary, and even if they kept answering, “According to company policy,” he would still pressure them to name a figure.

《Work》

The company has established many sales channels through which customers can purchase its products, including toner, ink, karaoke machine rentals, songbooks, 3D printers, and 3D printer consumables. The phone system has 16 lines, and they have a different sales-channel phone number for almost every line. I originally applied for a 3D printing management trainee position, but I understood that in a small company you have to do everything. From what I observed, the tasks I most often did each day were cold-calling potential customers about 3D printers, checking whether different sales channels had orders to ship, packing goods, and taking orders by phone. As far as I know, the company also does online marketing and other things, but it all felt very mysterious. There may have been engineers I did not see. Maybe there had been some news about them before. Portal: https://disp.cc/b/163-888z

My colleagues were actually nice and patiently taught me how to use 3D printers, so I learned quite a lot in that area. However, as a distributor, I felt that the company gave me almost no information about its upstream suppliers. To be honest, to this day I have not been able to verify or find authoritative information showing whether these printers are made in Taiwan, although the company's consistent public claim is that it guarantees they are Taiwan-made. Also, because goods had to be shipped every day, you had to know how to drive a car or ride a scooter. Although I have a car license, I have neither a car nor a scooter, so basically I could not drive or ride. The boss kept hoping that I would help deliver packages, so he told me almost every day to get a scooter license and buy a used vehicle, saying that he would give me a raise. Oh, and he paid me NT$23,000 a month, saying this was the probationary period and that my salary would definitely increase later.

The boss is a middle-aged man. His 27-year-old daughter studied in the same department as I did, and at first he said that this was why he felt particularly friendly toward me, which moved me quite a bit at the time. However, after I gave him my TOEIC score of 630, I began having to take on her personal errands, such as translating things into English so that she could communicate with her Indonesian domestic helper on LINE. Sigh—she is Indonesian; I really wanted to tell him that English is not the native language of every foreigner in the world. One time, at around 11 a.m., he called my desk phone and gave me a string of messages to translate. (He usually stayed upstairs. I guessed that he monitored how everyone used their computers, because he would remind me to improve my efficiency and type faster.) I did not ask when he needed the translation. Then a colleague happened to have something to teach me, so I set this task aside temporarily. When I came back to it about an hour later, the boss started lecturing me. A colleague also spoke up for me, but presumably because he was in a bad mood, he continued criticizing me for not being proficient enough. He even asked whether I would forget everything after taking the TOEIC. I had scored 630 on the test the previous month, and, to be fair, a score of 630 is not particularly high. To put it bluntly, the English level in the entire office was relatively low. And that was not the end of it. In the afternoon, he came downstairs to tell another colleague to teach me something, then deliberately said loudly in Taiwanese, “Who knows whether he’ll keep working here.” Later, when he wanted me to leave, the boss did not tell me directly; he had the boss's wife tell me. I personally feel that the boss's personal qualities need improvement. I had previously heard that, before I joined, the boss had also just fired another male employee. The reason was supposedly that when a colleague asked him why he was so good at driving, he answered that it was because he often helped transport goods to the traditional market. After hearing this, the boss became angry that the man had a side job and fired him. I am not sure whether that is what actually happened, but I am sharing it for everyone's reference.

Overall, it felt like being in a relationship that had just begun, then having the other person lose interest after spending time together—but being dumped by them first. xD

This company keeps posting job openings like crazy!!

Then the interview goes off on all sorts of tangents!

They don't explain the key responsibilities of the position or the company!!

The interview is hastily wrapped up after barely any time~

Nonsense, plus a waste of time!!

And it's still the same old perpetually open position!!

Absolutely terrible!

Chatting about all sorts of things

It was an interview, but they went on and on about a bunch of irrelevant stuff!

I went all the way there for the interview, only to have them talk about things that weren't the point!

They didn't even explain the key responsibilities or what the job involved!

What a waste of other people's time!!

They probably just wanted to hire someone for low pay~

I interviewed at this company when I had just entered the workforce, and there were still employees working there at the time. Recently, after being bombarded with job-search fatigue again, I went there once more. There seem to be only three people there now: the two older owners (around 60) and a woman in her thirties.

When I entered the company, a woman asked me to sit down for a moment. It was basically a living room in a house converted into an office, with a few shabby and dirty tables. Then a man around 60 interviewed me. First, he asked me to write my desired compensation on the résumé I had brought, so I did. He then asked where I graduated from and where I had worked before. The point is, my résumé was in his hands, so he could have simply looked at it. After asking those few questions, he started rambling, asking how tall I was and talking about a bunch of nonsense unrelated to the job... In the middle of it, he added, “Okay, we’ll notify you again,” and that was about it. I ended up listening to him ramble about height-related topics all the way to the door. Before leaving, I asked when I could find out whether I had been accepted. He said he would notify me within the next two days. But what happened?! A whole week has passed!!

And 1111/104 kept repeatedly sending me job postings like crazy!

I really think that if an interview is just going to involve asking a bunch of pointless questions, don’t waste everyone’s time!

Not only was the conversation pointless, but he kept rambling on with a bunch of nonsense! Obviously, he was just shocked by the salary and couldn’t afford to hire me!

There’s nothing shameful about not being able to afford to hire someone, but if you offer peanuts, you’ll only get monkeys!

You wasted my time, so I’m blocking you directly!

The prospect looks very promising.

Please, stop manipulating the reviews. You sent two interview notifications during the holiday, and neither of them matched the positions the applicants were looking for.

Does your company's HR work on holidays? Or is your boss just bored after eating?

Didn't it say, "Leave work on time, no overtime required, and take public holidays off"!?

And then there's: "After work, you can also take outsourced company projects home to complete, with payment calculated per project."

What a novel form of overtime pay. This is the first time I've seen it—I've certainly learned something.

Receiving this kind of interview notification was really uncomfortable, so I came here to add another negative review.

After actually working there, I found that it wasn't like what people said online... I worked here for a little over a year... The work was very enjoyable, and I learned a lot... Sometimes the boss would treat us to food... I eventually resigned because I was getting married and moving back to southern Taiwan...

The boss is impatient... If your work is inefficient or your attitude toward work is poor, you will be reprimanded..........

Interviewed for the in-house graphic design specialist position on the afternoon of September 14. The interview covered basic questions (education, work experience, etc.), and there was also a computer-based test. The people at the company seemed really nice; I overheard them chatting, and the atmosphere seemed pretty good...

Hmm... The interview really took a long time... Be mentally prepared.

Wouldn’t know—I didn’t go to the interview.

They kept sending interview emails like crazy; I really couldn’t take it anymore. Even after I had already declined, they kept sending them.

Judging from the comments below, it probably isn’t a very good company either... For those obviously trying to improve the ratings, I’ll help add another “poor” review.

I worked here for about two years and eventually left because I wanted to go abroad for a study tour. It was really hard to leave~~~ It’s a small company with a strong sense of camaraderie~~ Some larger companies may have a certain amount of internal rivalry... but here, everyone helps one another! I also got along very well with the boss and my colleagues~~ And you’ll learn a lot~

Personally, I don’t think there are many drawbacks~~ Some people might feel that the office is too small, but no company can be 100% perfect! The most important thing is to choose one that suits you~~

The boss seemed like a very nice person, and the interview process was relaxed—more like having a conversation. They asked about my previous work experience and reason for leaving; you can just answer honestly, and they won’t really put you on the spot. Overall, it was a fairly pleasant interview experience.

It’s a small company, so it may not be a good fit for people who prefer the structure and systems of a large company.

There are no advantages.....really none......I advise job seekers who are considering interviewing with this company not to waste their time. It really isn’t worth it.

I hope the boss can respect every job seeker and treat every employee well. I also ask the boss to put away the inflated ego and stop acting as though criticizing goods makes one a smart buyer. Honestly, the work environment is basically just a warehouse. I advise all job seekers that if you receive an interview invitation from this company, you can delete it immediately. This company is completely a waste of your time.

Black person question marks—does such a thing even exist????

1. The interview location was piled high with goods and didn’t look like an office at all.

2. The boss only asked questions unrelated to the job. Do intelligence tests help with the work?

3. Probing into the interviewee’s privacy—that’s not something you should be asking.

The boss discriminates against Hakka people during the 9.2 interview, asks questions in a judgmental manner when reviewing resumes, and treats job applicants as tools for training HR. Those who are unemployed may give it a try; if you have a job, assess for yourself whether it is necessary to take leave for the interview.
