Read the community guidelinesBasically, this is a company where the boss is very devout in his faith. Employees have to eat vegetarian food in the cafeteria, and designers also have to wear suits like bank tellers to work. Every month, we had to read the Di Zi Gui together during the book club. The overtime situation was very serious and seemed to be the norm, so I changed jobs as soon as I completed my probationary period. The turnover rate was very high. However, this was my experience many years ago, so I don't know whether things have improved now.
The HR staff's attitude was okay.
During the interview, the accounting manager kept looking at their phone, which was extremely disrespectful to the interviewee. They kept fidgeting, as if they didn't want to continue listening.
An update on today’s interview experience. The position is in administrative and general affairs. A week before the interview, HR first makes a brief phone inquiry. Afterwards, they email the résumé form for you to fill out at home and send back. You also need to download an app to take an aptitude test. None of these steps takes too long. On the day of the interview, you first fill out around seven simple questions. They are not complicated and can be completed in about 15 minutes. After that, the supervisor conducts the interview.
During the interview, the supervisor asks questions based on the résumé and also gives the interviewee ample opportunity to express themselves without arbitrarily interrupting. Overall, the position, systems, and benefits were all discussed. The interview experience was fairly pleasant and was not nearly as frightening as described previously. It may also be because the interviewer and HR representative were different from before.
If you ride a scooter, Chengmei Bridge and Jiuzong Road are very congested during the day, and it can be somewhat difficult when the weather is hot.
I recommend that everyone avoid companies that look impressive on the surface but actually do not comply with the Labor Standards Act.
The bonus deductions for each month are only allocated and deducted the following month. It may seem very humane, but there is actually something fishy going on.
You’ll only know what it’s really like after joining. There’s no point in saying more; those who see this should think carefully before joining.

The interview took almost an hour, most of which was spent talking about a bunch of nonsense.
I had to fill out a long list of questions beforehand, but during the interview they asked all the same questions again.
They asked about my previous work experience, going all the way back to junior high school, high school, and university. I could understand wanting to learn about my personality or background, but after I talked for ages, the interviewer still didn't understand and I had to explain it again. It felt more like casual chatting.
When we discussed the actual job, they kept saying they had lots of people, great benefits, and that everyone liked it there, but then offered an extremely low salary.
Even after I declined, they kept asking why I wasn't considering it. Well, the salary was too low—what else could it be? And they still asked.

As soon as I arrived, I was asked to fill out three documents. One of them had a lot of questions and took about half an hour to complete, and then the aptitude test took another hour. By the time I actually spoke with the supervisor, two hours had already been spent. I explained to the supervisor why I had left my previous job and the conditions for my new job, and the supervisor replied, “I can’t promise you that.” Well then, may I ask why your company didn’t include this in the job requirements?????? I had originally thought I could compromise to some extent, but the supervisor started arguing and even gave an example, asking what to do in a situation like that. I replied that if such a last-minute situation occurs, doesn’t that mean the details weren’t properly confirmed beforehand? After hearing a few things he said, I felt that this person was impossible to communicate with, so I said thank you and goodbye. In short, it was an interview that was an incredible waste of my life.

Right from the start, they asked you to fill out a bunch of information and complete test questions, which took almost two hours.
I left my previous salary blank and was challenged about why I had not filled it in.
After the supervisor came in for the interview, their attitude was very arrogant, and they kept using English phrases.
They said the KPI would be very high and that it would be hard work, but based on the current results of their Facebook operations, the performance looks disastrously poor.
Overall, it felt very bad.
1. The interview was scheduled by HR for 1:40 p.m. I arrived early at 1:20, and the first-floor receptionist said that the staff member was currently out having lunch and would return to the office before 1:30, asking me to wait nearby for a while. Sure enough, when it reached 1:40, HR promptly came to take me to the conference room, where the written test began, so I didn't have to wait very long.
2. HR spoke very fluently and clearly explained what I needed to do next, which felt quite professional.
3. The office employees I saw that day were required to wear uniforms, giving the impression that the company was well organized.
The position I applied for was related to internal office work. Halfway through the process, I kept thinking about withdrawing. It was a terrifying interview experience that I will never forget. Here is what happened:
1. At the beginning, HR gave me three documents to complete. The first was a personal-data consent form, which only required a signature. The second was a personnel information form covering education and work experience, similar to those used by other companies. The third, however, consisted of 10 questions. It stated that these were common questions for accounting, finance, auditing (and possibly general affairs) positions. For example: “What has given you the greatest sense of accomplishment at work?” The allotted time was about one hour.
2. After I finally finished those three documents, HR gave me another set of professional questions for the position I had applied for. Again, there were about 10 questions requiring written answers, such as: “If a supervisor suddenly assigns you a task while you also have routine work to do, how would you allocate your time?”
3. I waited for about half an hour before the supervisor came in for the interview. I initially assumed that HR or the supervisor had been using that time to grade the tests. Unexpectedly, the supervisor had not looked at them beforehand at all. Instead, they read through the two sets of answers—20 questions in total—on the spot, asking questions and pointing out mistakes while reading. Their attitude was also extremely rude, mostly questioning how I could have written my answers that way. After the interview, the supervisor said it would take approximately seven business days to get a result. By the time I left the Gloria Outlets building, it was almost 5 p.m. ............
I’m not very familiar with, nor do I want to learn about, the salary and benefits that everyone cares about, because merely filling out those boring situational questions completely made me not want to work for this company. I have 10 years of work experience and have interviewed with quite a few companies. Nowadays, personnel information forms can be completed electronically and returned before the interview. During the interview, it should be enough to test English, professional knowledge, or personality. These things take at most an hour on average. I have never encountered a company where the process took more than two hours. Moreover, I would recommend asking situational questions orally, as that can reveal an interviewee’s communication and ability to adapt on the spot. Why would they want to conduct this as a written test? I really don’t understand.
Also, as soon as the supervisor entered the conference room, they arrogantly said that the company had a lot of money, so it would absolutely never go public. They also said that this position was open because the business volume had increased and the company needed to hire someone. There were simply too many things to criticize, so I’ll just describe the main points. Overall, the entire interview made me feel as though they did not treat people like people—as if being invited to interview was a favor bestowed upon me because I had accumulated merit in a previous life.
