First, I should say that I did read the comments from previous applicants, but I still decided to apply.

After personally going through one phone interview and one on-site interview,

I feel that this company has great potential and is full of energy.

Its environment has a strong startup vibe,

and the interviewing manager was polite and organized.

I think everyone comes here hoping to know the facts in advance. Once you have gone through the process yourself, you can share your own experience.

Looking back at what previous applicants said, I can only say: take it as a reference.

None

I applied for a full-stack engineer position. The interviewer’s questions were above standard, and of course I gave reasonably good answers as well.

As of today, I’ve had one phone interview and two in-person interviews. The initial salary offer is quite a bit better than before.

I’m waiting for the final phone call to find out whether I got the job (it feels like this company is genuinely selective about whom it hires) XD

One thing worth mentioning is that their office environment is very new (it has a startup feel).

Personally, I think it’s a company that is seriously run. If I get hired, I think I’d like to go there...

After going through three interviews, I feel the process was a bit long.

If you want to try an extremely negative work environment and an unbelievable management system, this is the place for you.

HaoHao Securities = HaoHao Investment (former name)

Don't come here! As soon as the boss arrived, he dictated extremely detailed aspects of how you should work. For example, when using project management software and creating tasks, you must follow his method exactly. You can't break the functions down into smaller details; everything has to be written on the same ticket, resulting in a dense mess of content.

They also use Kanban software with negative warning messages written on it, such as “Don’t be busy, blind, or confused; don’t waste your own time.” Everything is extremely negative.

Then, every night late at night, he checks the task tickets to see whether you have updated your progress. You have to reply with details every day.

He refuses to delegate authority to supervisors. The overall product and marketing strategy is ineffective, and any other suggestions are immediately rejected. Then, when the results are poor, he directly blames the entire department.

All marketing and advertising proposals have to be confirmed by the boss before they can be released because he doesn't trust professionals. The problem is that after he revises them, they become ineffective and fail to resonate. If you give him direct feedback, he refuses to admit it and just keeps making irrelevant excuses.

New employees have a three-month probation period, with a performance review every month. When the poor performance is caused by the boss, he blames the employees instead. The reviews are

especially outrageous; he loves playing petty tricks.

He isolates new employees in a separate area, cutting them off from everyone else. I've never seen such an outrageous boss.

He also records the review meetings with you. When told that this is illegal, he gets furious. When the boss's reviewed and revised social media posts fail to generate sales, you tell him frankly to trust professional judgment, and that the poor results are due to his revisions and his lack of ability in this area. The boss then says you insulted a superior, threatens to fire you, and even says he can sue you.

Most outrageous of all, he deliberately engages in workplace PUA before Lunar New Year, nearly causing the entire team to resign. He is extremely inconsiderate and doesn't want anyone to have a good New Year.

The advertising budget is also ridiculously small... yet vendors are expected to provide all kinds of services. It's miserable....

The boss's strategy is to keep posting memes on Facebook, but he ruins all of them by revising them until they are no longer funny.... He doesn't even understand Performance Max....

I've heard that more than 20 employees are forced out every year, even though the entire company only has a little over 20 people. There are endless complicated rules and petty details.

He turns a blind eye to long-term employees who have been with him for a long time. His capabilities are extremely immature, he applies double standards, and this is a company that refuses to grow up.

A very negative culture

Currently, I can't think of any advantages.

If someone from the financial industry joined, they would notice that the GM's statements contain many contradictions.

1. The profit model may still need adjustment; for now, the company can only continue burning money.

2. The product planning and target audience currently seem to have no solution, and the competitiveness is insufficient.

3. The customer acquisition methods and sources also seem unsolvable. This is related to point 2—the company is not competitive in the market.

4. There is something fishy about the fund-exchange model. People in the same industry would probably notice it after just a brief conversation, but please don't spell it out or expose it, otherwise the GM will get very angry.

5. You have to submit a pile of documents, and they also require you to make an appointment to submit them in person. They ask you to sign a so-called employment contract that basically protects the employer.

6. You don't have to pay bonuses, but writing that they are discretionary makes it feel like you're giving alms to beggars.

7. They hold a securities license but are unfamiliar with securities procedures.

The above is purely a sharing of my personal experience.

None; the top executive was extremely disrespectful.

It is now called Good Good Securities. They proactively invited me to an interview, yet the interviewer had not read my résumé and showed absolutely no interest in learning anything about me. The top executive simply went on and on about how great the company was, with a strong air of arrogance and self-righteousness. In a supposedly humorous tone, they criticized my former company. My company is still one of the leaders in the industry, so I suppose the boss’s ambitions must be extremely lofty—truly out of reach. ^__^

In short, they were extremely disrespectful and completely wasted my time. I have no idea what is going on inside this company. If the interview was like this, I really don’t dare imagine what it would be like to work there.

They might be able to fool people who have never worked in the financial industry, but anyone in the industry would immediately know what they are doing… I can only put a big question mark on it. An interview is not just about the company choosing you; the interviewee is also choosing the company. From beginning to end, it was so ridiculous that all I wanted to do was laugh. It was truly quite amusing.

The various posts below are incredibly entertaining. Before the interview, I thought I could approach the conversation with an open mind, but the conclusion is: really, don’t—believe me.

The work atmosphere is good. Maybe because it’s a startup, colleagues don’t like pushing blame onto each other; instead, they help one another.

The managers are all highly professional and willing to mentor others. If you’re new to the workplace, you can learn a lot here. However, the number of people who can persuade the boss is effectively zero.

They are constantly hiring—not because of “expansion,” but because the turnover rate is 100%.

A company with around 20 employees can hire more than 20 people in a year, with even more leaving. It’s easy to imagine that there must be some problem here; otherwise, judging by the benefits described on 104, they would surely be unable to hire fast enough to keep everyone.

As a sincere suggestion, it’s best to take the salary and benefits information on 104 as merely “for reference.”

You’ll be much happier if you apply with the expectations you’d have for potato chips marketed as tasting like premium Wagyu beef.

I won’t go into the need for diverse work skills, the ability to read minds, or having to enjoy being fed grand promises. If you’re looking for a job you can stay in for more than a year, you should definitely think twice, because the probability that both you and the boss will be satisfied with each other is probably only about 5%.

None

Being able to stay at this company for more than six months makes you practically a veteran. Employee turnover is far too high—not because people’s professional skills can’t keep up, but because the boss’s ideas can’t keep up. Things keep changing, so I hope everyone maxes out their mind-reading skills before joining.

I worked there for a year and a half. Benefits existed, but only appeared occasionally. Very few people probably ever received bonuses, and there may or may not be a year-end bonus—I may also have been deceived by the company’s sales talk. Employee stock options and share subscriptions? Don’t even think about it.

Work: Everyone needs to max out their versatile skills. For example: HR兼 accounting兼 office assistant兼 printing兼 secretary?! You need to be able to accept constant change. As other comments have said, you need mind-reading skills; otherwise, proposals keep being revised until the end of time. You need to be able to accept the boss painting grand plans and promising you the world, only to later say, “I never said that,” and never admit fault.

When the boss wants you to leave, they won’t say so directly! They’ll start making things difficult for you until you make a mistake!? It’s absolutely ridiculous!

However, the managers’ abilities are generally quite good. They have ability and professional expertise, but they can’t persuade the boss. That’s all.

Friends who are thinking about interviewing or preparing to join can use this as a reference.

1. Are the positive reviews written by the boss trying to whitewash things, or by internal staff who were forced to write them? What a joke.

2. If the boss wants to get rid of you, they will avoid all kinds of labor law regulations and inexplicably shut down all your work access. There are screenshots saved as evidence here. (Think carefully before joining: the boss may want to get rid of people at any time. You definitely will not receive involuntary termination benefits, because government funding is being used; issuing an involuntary termination would result in a loss for them.)

3. Various difficulties are imposed after joining over requirements that were never raised before employment. (At first, this company will make you feel like it has very clear goals.)

4. It is very frightening—think twice before joining.

5. All of your work accounts, including internal messages and conversations, are company accounts and passwords, so think carefully before whispering anything to your colleagues.

All in all, I don't know how many waves of people this company has replaced within a year. It really is a wonderful company that seriously operates with the people's tax money! Investing in it properly is truly super great.

I happened to have the opportunity to browse this place. After reading what others had written, I felt that it was very different from my own understanding. I am someone who is currently actually working here. Judging from the timing, the people who left comments were probably either not hired or dismissed during their probationary period. To be fair, I think this company gives employees considerable room to发挥 their abilities. The company is engaged in innovative finance, and looking at its progress, it has indeed placed importance on protecting customers. That is also what makes me feel more at ease. In addition, it already has clear products, and the number of employees continues to grow, with the office space expanding as well.

As for whether the pay is good, although I had not yet passed my probation at the time, I still received a year-end bonus before Lunar New Year calculated proportionally based on two months. I also received additional bonuses in April, August, and December of last year, as well as April of this year. The payments were quite good, and that deserves recognition. There are also company dinners, snacks, and coffee, and each person receives a regular fruit box every week. I have never seen a supervisor or boss scold anyone in front of everyone. Overall, I feel that I have worked conscientiously and achieved results, and my work has given me feedback that I am fairly satisfied with. If it were not for seeing a pile of irrational complaints from people who made no effort, I would not have felt the need to say anything. It is really misleading. Someone upstairs even said that they only won a NT$3,000 prize at the year-end party and complained that the organizers cheated, which was truly laughable. Normally, when things are going well, I would not be bored enough to write a review. I just felt strongly about it, so I am sharing this for everyone’s reference.

If the product direction is wrong, it is changed immediately. Things really change too quickly, and ordinary people often have trouble keeping up.

The phone interview and the first interview felt fairly normal. There was only a slight delay and a vague sense of impatience, but the CEO began to show their true colors during the second interview.

When discussing the salary and job responsibilities, it was very clear that the CEO expected you to take on multiple roles, and tried to tell you that all the employees there wear multiple hats because it gives them a more comprehensive perspective—for example, marketing combined with project management... However, the salary and benefits offered were quite ordinary, and the salary structure had serious problems.

1. First, they keep your fixed salary low, telling you that as long as you perform well, you will definitely be able to receive performance bonuses and an annual bonus, and that you can definitely earn more if you perform well.

2. The annual bonus is considered a “gratuitous benefit” and is not something the company is obligated to provide.

3. Performance bonuses and annual bonuses are not fixed and are not guaranteed, but as long as your performance is not outrageously bad, you will basically receive something (and what “basic” means is also not fixed...)

4. The performance bonus is scored by your supervisor.

5. Therefore, you need to maintain a good relationship with your supervisor (with no objective evaluation criteria whatsoever).

6. They then try to convince you that if you work overtime a certain number of days per week and perform “above standard,” your annual salary will be very substantial.

After hearing the explanation above, there was absolutely no way I could be convinced. The basic salary should be enough to make a job acceptable, rather than first suppressing your salary and telling you, “If you don’t perform well, your performance bonus will be deducted. That’s the company’s protection.” There is also the issue of needing to work overtime to reach a certain level of pay. How is anyone supposed to know whether, when evaluating employees, you will use how often they work overtime as a basis for determining their score?

It is hard to believe that the employees of this company could be persuaded by this kind of rhetoric—unless their fixed salaries are very high, so they can accept not receiving the performance bonus or annual bonus, or unless every one of them is highly capable or very skilled at ensuring they meet the boss’s expectations every time.

What made me angry was that when discussing the salary, the CEO opened by citing the recent pandemic (COVID-19) and poor economic conditions, as if other people had no choice but to choose their company.

I don’t mind taking on multiple roles, but the explanation has to be convincing, or the salary should be correspondingly higher. If you want to offer someone a lower salary, just be honest and say that the company’s current situation does not allow it to offer a high salary, or that you think their education and experience only qualify them for this amount. I could accept that. What I cannot accept is replacing it with a strange, opaque process and a nontransparent salary structure. Most people should regard performance bonuses and annual bonuses as tangible rewards for working hard, rather than seeing them as gratuitous benefits from the company. Although the way performance evaluations are conducted at every company can also be quite opaque, it is still better than constantly saying that your bonus will be deducted as long as you work hard but are not “good enough.” Who wants to go to work every day feeling threatened?

In short, this was a terrible interview experience. However, after reading what other people had shared, I also felt relieved, because their accounts helped me realize that this is a very problematic company and gave me insight into what a deeply problematic CEO is like. Thanks to them, I also found out that I absolutely must not join this company. Therefore, I hope that people who receive a phone interview invitation from this company will only go for an interview if they have plenty of time.

Even after being hired, you will discover even more astonishing things. The documents you are required to submit include: salary details from the previous year, labor insurance records for the past ten years, a certificate of good conduct...

The CEO is ill (bipolar disorder)

He curses at people at the drop of a hat!

Work could also involve communicating comfortably,

so I cannot understand why the CEO always wants things to be so “confrontational.”

He asks us to come up with ideas ourselves.

We come up with 123,

and he berates us for not coming up with ABC.

So we revise it to ABC,

and he also berates us for not coming up with 甲乙丙?!

So we revise it again to 甲乙丙,

and he still berates us for not coming up with 123... speechless.

The CEO keeps saying: He is someone who does great things,

he wants to earn several hundred million,

it is a company that is going public,

and others should be begging him!...

The problems are:

1. It has burned money for three years without making a profit.

2. The entire company, including the CEO, has only seven people.

3. The product content is already no longer competitive.

4. It is a startup; “理念” alone will not generate profits.

I suggest that anyone considering joining think twice before proceeding.

There are problems with the workplace and the management style.

It is simply a bad working environment—unless you like being humiliated, yelled at, nitpicked, and underpaid every day...

I worked at this company for a few months, and looking back, it still makes me angry. Fortunately, I received severance for involuntary termination, so I lost a little less.

I originally applied only for a backend position. Even though there was already someone handling the frontend, engineers were still asked to help with frontend work, but the CEO did not immediately raise our salaries. Who would want to take that on?

I don't know what is going on with the outsourcing now. The projects are being completed incredibly quickly. I told the CEO that only careful, unhurried work can produce fine results, but they wouldn't listen. As a result, the engineers are constantly being pushed by the outsourcing team to meet deadlines and can only catch their breath when the entire acceptance process is over.

We're all just working to earn money. Who wants to work themselves to death? If not, the CEO should try being an employee.

The CEO says everything has to be planned, but after the documents are finished, they keep getting changed.

They seem to think that finishing development with no bugs is a reasonable expectation, which is simply asking the impossible.

They seem to think that subsidizing only half the cost is enough to force everyone to go to the gym.

They seem to think that every one-on-one meeting should lead to improvement, without considering that work can sometimes be affected because someone had an argument with their family.

The most important thing is the year-end banquet. They extravagantly booked out the entire venue without understanding the value of saving money. There were too many games, which exhausted everyone. Others received red envelopes worth over ten thousand, while I only drew one worth three thousand—it was obviously rigged.

In short, the CEO imposes too many rules and provides too few benefits. Anyone considering joining should think twice.

Interviewed for a product planning position

I prepared product proposals I had worked on in the past for the interview, and the detailed description of the position was also for a product planning role.

But after I started, I was continually asked to manage the company’s fan page.

I asked the CEO to provide product documents so that I could write marketing copy and articles, but there was nothing.

They expected one post every 1–2 days, while also expecting me to spend only one hour a day producing content.

After one week on the job, I explained that I had applied for the product planning department, not a social media editor and marketing role. I said that if the company could not find someone in the short term, I could take on the extra work temporarily, but it did not match the position I had interviewed for or my previous experience, and I hoped the owner would take this issue seriously.

I also expressed that I would still stay with the company and continue working hard.

Less than a week later, the CEO called me in and directly said that I was making excuses and was not proactive enough (I was completely baffled at this point).

They then gave me two weeks to think about whether I wanted to stay with the company.

After two weeks, I was dismissed without any further discussion. I requested that they issue a certificate of involuntary termination, but when HR sent me the termination documents the following week, I discovered that they had not issued an involuntary termination certificate; instead, they had stated that I had resigned voluntarily.

Furthermore, the CEO is extremely headstrong and impossible to communicate with.

Product specifications within the company were communicated verbally. I told him that this was inefficient and prone to confusion, but the CEO actually said, “We’re a startup. Recording everything would be too inefficient.” At that point, I was speechless...

An engineer said: “It feels like we’re communicating telepathically.”

None

Pros

None

Cons

The company has been operating for two years and has gone through two batches of engineers. The engineers all quit on their own after the Lunar New Year because they couldn't take it anymore. There have been no engineers after the Lunar New Year for two consecutive years—truly an impressive fintech company.

The CEO claims to understand technology, but moved the DNS from AWS to Microsoft and broke the website and app.

Doesn't trust anyone. When PR staff are out working, the company calls to check on them, and when someone answers its technical questions, it also goes to ask the outsourced contractors whether it is true.

Claims to have plenty of money, but always hires cost-saving outsourced contractors, then makes the engineers clean up after them.

Claims to treat employees very well, but doesn't hold an annual year-end party.

Thinks the Labor Standards Act is beneath the CEO.

Thinks that paying you NT$40,000–60,000 per month should entitle the company to demand a 9-to-6 schedule six days a week.

The CEO says they understand funds very well, but actually manages funds based entirely on investment intuition.

Thinks an algorithm is AI, and gets angry when corrected.

Makes it extremely difficult to take leave; even bereavement leave is met with difficulties.

Will secretly look at employees' emails.

The questions are like a background check

A lot of requirements

Extremely poor salary

None

The job description is completely inconsistent with what was posted on 104.

The supervisor seriously lacks professionalism.

Internal communication is a complete mess.

None

First, the phone interview: the man who called was not very punctual... Then he asked questions randomly, with no structure at all.

Also, for one of the positions, they only hire students from one of Taiwan’s top universities.... The salary is also.... sigh
