Read the community guidelines1. The company environment and resources are still really impressive, and the headquarters has a very nice office in the 7th Redevelopment Zone.
2. The company's design and corporate identity are highly distinctive, and vests are required.
3. The gas-cylinder business is still great, with lofty ideals and ambitions.
1. Around Beitun, water pipes are often dug up for construction, or there are issues with the building's water lines, making water shutoffs likely... It's really inconvenient.
2. The company brings in many consultants or listens to advice from outsiders, which creates a lot of resistance when implementing certain plans.
3. Internal decisions are sometimes overly emotional. It is recommended to focus on the issue, not the person. If you really must criticize someone, please be considerate and don't escalate it into personal attacks. Leave each other some room.
4. You probably need to be a very aggressive, wolf-like person to change this company, right? If you go in as a meek lamb, you just won't accomplish anything meaningful.
The interviewer said they need someone who is willing to learn because the job duties are not fixed and may change. At first, the person will only do simple support work, and more responsibilities will gradually be added. They hope to train the person to work independently.
The company culture they are currently promoting is accountability, so there is no set schedule for performance reviews or salary increases.
Finally, the interviewer clearly stated that they would continue interviewing other candidates. They asked whether I was interested in the job; if so, they would keep my application on hold and make a final selection after evaluating all candidates. Even unsuccessful applicants would be notified with a thank-you letter.
Applied for the accounting assistant position.
After arriving at the company, applicants are required to fill out the company’s résumé form and take the online DAVI behavioral prediction assessment.
The salary is NT$28,000. After completing the three-month probationary period, there will be another salary adjustment. This amount includes the perfect-attendance bonus and meal allowance. However, they did not clearly explain how much would be deducted for not having perfect attendance. If the issue is lateness, there is a set number of minutes, and the perfect-attendance bonus is only deducted after exceeding that threshold.
There is no fixed salary-increase system. The company will adjust salaries only in response to broader conditions, such as rising prices. Regular salary adjustments are based on individual ability and approved by the supervisor, but they did not specify how often performance reviews would take place.
Overtime is infrequent, but overtime pay is provided when overtime is required.
An inventory count is conducted once a year. Since the company is still expanding, this may increase to twice a year if it goes public. Because the company mainly operates on a B2C basis, the accounting work is relatively dynamic.
The interviewer gave a very detailed introduction to the job and clearly explained the company culture and organization. If anything was unclear, I could ask questions directly, and they would explain everything clearly. During the interview, I felt that the company atmosphere was quite good.
Although it is a startup, some of its systems and procedures are still rather cumbersome, and overtime may be required. It is unclear whether overtime pay would be provided. The position is advertised as a marketing role, but in practice, part of the job involves starting with and optimizing departmental processes. Job seekers may want to take this into consideration.
