Read the community guidelinesThe interview atmosphere with the supervisor was good.
The salary is so low it makes you question life; suitable for fresh graduates to gain experience.
A large company with stable benefits for full-time employees.
Promotion appears to follow a system, but forget about it if you end up with a terrible supervisor.
Most people join as dispatched employees. Only after completing six months can they take the conversion-to-permanent-employee exam held every June or July. The number of positions is limited, so taking the exam does not guarantee a spot.
Most permanent employees have a mindset of coasting along and waiting to retire. Those who are good-natured or soft-spoken are not recommended; otherwise, you need to be sufficiently street-smart or have strong connections.
Wasting time going to interviews
The salary is so low that other people's children could never stop dying. Employees who are frogs at the bottom of a well
No opportunities
After traveling a long way by high-speed rail for an interview, even though you may know that you probably weren't selected, the company still won't tell you any reason.
(You can only speculate that HR, in order to boost its interview KPIs, finds large numbers of innocent people who genuinely want to work and uses them as headcount to inflate its performance metrics.)
By the way, the lower the salary offer, the better. Maybe then HR will be willing to chat with you a little longer.
The environment is clean and tidy (Chiayi plant).
The shift-work pay is fucking low. Without overtime, it won’t break NT$30,000. They need overtime, but sometimes they don’t really want to let people record it, and then coworkers really like to undermine others.
None
It's fundamentally a fake foreign company with truly Taiwanese treatment!!!! There are absolutely no foreigners inside!!!
The workplace is right outside the MRT station exit.
After interviewing once, you absolutely won’t want to go back for a second interview.
The HR manager is very unprofessional and has no idea what skills are required for the position you applied for.
The general manager has been with this company for thirty years and is like a frog in a well, unaware of the competition from companies outside.
What can you expect from a subsidiary that relies solely on the protection of its Japanese parent company to make a profit?

Canon Taiwan (Guting) sales
They said over the phone that the monthly salary was NT$28,000–30,000, but in reality it was NT$24,000 + NT$3,000 transportation allowance + NT$800 communication allowance.
It was a sales-call and in-person interview for printers, not cameras.
They called beforehand to explain the job details and salary.
Overall, the interview process felt very organized and respectful toward the interviewee.
The interviews with HR and the sales manager were both very gentle. They emphasized how demanding and exhausting the work was, explained the salary structure, and discussed career development.
However, they also reminded me to remember to sit up straight and turn up my collar.
It felt very warm!
However, during the third interview with the HR manager, they suddenly announced the salary: NT$24,000 plus allowances, which only came close to NT$28,000, and kept pressing me, asking whether I could accept it.
“Can you accept it?” I paused for a few seconds and replied that I would like to respond the following week.
As a result, HR immediately changed their attitude and said they needed an answer the next day.
They abruptly stood up and left.
The interview lasted only about one-third of the time planned...
In short, this company has the rules of a Japanese company (no jeans or short skirts) but the compensation of a Taiwanese company.

It should be a well-structured company, with good salaries and bonuses as well. Unfortunately, my abilities were too weak at the time, so I wasn't hired.
