The organizational structure is flat, with ample empowerment, allowing people with proactive personalities to thrive. Of course, a professional background and experience help you integrate, contribute, and grow more quickly. Those who wait for their supervisor to assign tasks before doing anything will certainly realize after a while that this is not for them and leave.
More effort is still needed to attract talented enough partners.
The position applied for was Senior Java Engineer.
The annual salary is directly converted into a monthly salary, making the compensation structure clear and straightforward. There are no issues with grand promises or asking employees to endure difficult times together, and the salary offer is competitive.
The interview explanations were clear, and they did not gloss over important issues. It is evident that the new head of the development department is committed to addressing the problems from before.
The office is right next to Taipei 101/World Trade Center MRT Station, so transportation is very convenient. However, because the company mainly develops projects for banks, there may be opportunities to work with the team on client-site assignments, all in the Greater Taipei area. You can clarify this in advance.
The colleagues are relatively young.
The technology stack includes both newer and older technologies. The head of development is currently bringing previously outsourced client-site work back in-house and putting it on the right track. Regardless of seniority, it is a place where you can make contributions and learn.
The office is very cramped and feels oppressive.
I did not meet the interviewer encountered by the previous reviewer; I met someone else, and my interview process was pleasant.
Overall thoughts on the interview: For some people, it might be considered quite flattering, but personally, this is an IT company, and the position I interviewed for was also an IT position. However, the interviewer was not familiar with IT, so we had some difficulty communicating.
Work environment: (Adding details not mentioned by the previous reviewers) The company’s space is not large, and the distance between each person’s seat is very small. There is probably only one meeting room, so multiple people may need to use it at the same time. The spaces for other purposes are also not large.
It depends on each person’s level of acceptance. Some people may consider the comments I wrote under the advantages to be advantages, while others may consider them disadvantages.
Last week, I interviewed for the Sales Manager position at Jingcheng Technology. The company is located in the World Trade Center building. When I walked into the office, it felt quite impressive. The interior is an open-plan space, and overall it looked fairly bright and clean!.
First interview:
The interview process at Jingcheng Technology is divided into two stages. During the first visit, you have to pass a written test before proceeding to the first interview. My interviewer at Jingcheng was the Vice President of the Sales Department. In addition to asking about my personal background and work experience, he also asked about my experience leading a small team at my previous company.
At the end, we chatted for a while. He learned that I had moved to Taipei from another city for work and still had student loans to repay, so he gave me some advice. He also explained Jingcheng Technology’s current goals on the sales side, the capabilities required, and the types of business I would handle.
If the supervisor thinks you’re a good fit, they’ll schedule the second interview before you leave~~
Second interview:
Before the second interview, the sales supervisor sends you an assigned case study. You give a sales presentation on-site on the day of the interview, although this time I was interviewed by a more senior executive.
Afterward, they talked a bit about Jingcheng Technology’s vision and short-term goals..... It was basically a heads-up, meaning that once you join, you’ll need to adapt to the job quickly. Jingcheng Technology’s clients tend to be fairly large companies, such as FarEasTone, Fubon, and CTBC Bank. I felt the work would be fairly demanding rather than laid-back, but you can quickly build experience working with major clients, which would also be very helpful to include on your résumé in the future.
Compensation:
The senior executive said the guaranteed annual salary is equivalent to 14 months of pay. The standard bonuses for the three major holidays are also provided, and you don’t need to clock in or out when coming to or leaving work^^
Compared with my previous company, where clock-in policies were extremely inflexible and I was constantly questioned whenever I requested leave, and where there was no guaranteed annual salary or holiday bonuses, what Jingcheng Technology offers is quite good～
Summary:
Overall, I found Jingcheng Technology’s compensation fairly good, although the pace of work will probably be very fast! The Sales VP seemed quite strict to me, but when chatting privately, he seemed like a genuinely nice person. He took my financial pressure into consideration and offered some constructive advice. Overall, based on the interviews I’ve had so far, it ranks among my top two choices~
My overall interview experience with Jingcheng is as described above.
The boss has a grand vision
The company was established about five years ago. Most employees have been with the company for less than a year, so it is young and energetic.
The company should have 45 employees, but there are many open positions, so promotion opportunities are clearly smooth.
You manage your own clock-out time as long as you complete the assigned progress.
During project execution, R&D staff can work with multiple rotating PMs and cultivate their character.
Twelve months of salary—no need to endure the infuriating, charity-like year-end bonus that is barely better than nothing.
The R&D director is Indian, so you can learn to converse in Indian English.
PMs can train their psychological resilience by handling 5–8 projects simultaneously.
Managers can learn how to make projects profitable and take responsibility for the company's profitability.
Sales staff can learn how to paint a vision for customers and make them happy to pay and sign contracts.
R&D staff can hone their ability to understand business logic from code.
Packed with advantages; I can't find any disadvantages.
The work schedule is quite flexible, there’s little overtime, and the pay is pretty good.
Too much freedom. There are cliques at the company that gossip behind people’s backs. More time is spent chatting than improving professional skills. The PM’s work assignments are a bit strange. Some people seem to have nothing to do all day. Project management feels odd, and I feel that the company will probably incur losses in the long run?!.
The turnover rate is relatively high—does a rolling stone gather no moss? Employee movement may affect the transfer of experience, but from another perspective, it enables those taking over to shoulder responsibility more quickly and accelerates learning and growth. Looking at everything positively and viewing it as an opportunity for change may not be a bad idea.
The atmosphere of striving and fighting together needs corresponding incentives. The penalties should also be clearly stipulated.
Supports professionalism and allows autonomous work management
Acceptable
The pay is quite generous, with an annual salary guarantee equivalent to 14 months’ salary, paid over 12 months.
Fairly average
The supervisor sincerely shared and explained the job responsibilities, and I gained a lot.
None
The department manager is very nice~~and really supportive of subordinates!
It’s okay
No need to clock in or out for work; the offer gives the annual salary, paid monthly. The benefits are pretty good!
None
None
No overtime pay, no year-end bonus, and no project bonuses.
Poor technical capabilities; senior management is always painting grand visions.
They can't find a way to become profitable in the future and are perpetually burning through money and manpower.
Some people are very good at pushing their work onto others.
Those who can get things done are always pushed to the brink.
A NT$200 red envelope at the start of work and NT$500 gift money for each of the three major festivals are considered generous.
