1. The boss has a very poor attitude.
2. HR used their phone during the interview.
3. The job bank listing stated “salary negotiable,” but the salary range disclosed during the interview was below NT$40,000. If you cannot afford to hire someone, please do not waste each other’s time.
The company has approximately 90 to 100 employees, distributed between the factory site (Tucheng) and the office. During the interview process, I did not feel any basic mutual respect. The boss’s attitude was as if they were rushing to collect millions of dollars in outstanding accounts. The interview process was even stranger: the boss would talk with you first and explain everything, including the salary and benefits, then ask HR to come in and make small talk. It makes me wonder what HR is there for.

The boss's attitude needs improvement
One month’s year-end bonus (paid the day before New Year’s Eve)
Free, bad-tasting coffee (at least it’s free)
Free, bad-tasting afternoon tea (you have to compete for it)
20 minutes of flexible working hours
The company proudly celebrated earning 300 million last year, but the year-end bonus was only one month, and the raise was a meager 3–4%, not enough to satisfy anyone. The profits went straight into the boss’s pocket. There is no overtime pay, no substantial benefits, and no subsidies of any kind (for education, learning, training, or further study). There is little room for advancement. If you want to demonstrate your abilities and become a core team member, don’t come here. Regarding the meal allowance mentioned on the 104 website, please note: it is already included in your monthly salary. No matter what salary you negotiate, the meal allowance is included. Regarding the parking spaces mentioned on 104: only senior executives and managers have access to them; everyone else has to fend for themselves. The company is developing rapidly, employee benefits are shrinking rapidly, and the boss is enjoying himself.
HR is very efficient and very frank.
There is no toilet paper, so you have to bring your own. HR tells you very directly: clock in when you arrive at work, but work on a responsibility-based system when you leave. In other words, the company does not force you to work overtime, but if you do, you are doing a good deed.... So, are these kinds of violations of labor and health insurance regulations already considered common knowledge in the Taipei area?
The colleagues at the company are easy to get along with, working hours are flexible, the boss values talent, and the salary and benefits are fairly good.
The company is still not very large, but it is working hard to expand.
