1. The interviewer clearly understands the significance of the interview for both parties.
2. During the interview, the position, related career development, and other details were clearly explained.
3. The job opening and the company’s policies and systems were clearly explained.
1. The HR staff were quite unprofessional. I had applied through 104 and received an interview invitation, but after arriving, I was still asked to fill out basic personal information. When I asked the staff about it, they considered this normal.
2. The interview was too long, taking approximately two hours to finish.
3. During the interview, I was told that the result would be announced in a few days, but when the time came, there was no related update. The following week, I proactively asked about the result of the interview and only received a generic thank-you email.
1. Stable; basically, people are rarely dismissed.
2. Salary adjustments and bonuses have been quite good in recent years.
3. Indirect departments do not need to work overtime.
4. Employees can purchase the company’s products at an employee discount (about the same as outside prices).
1. Very poor environmental, health, and safety awareness (especially when supervisors say, “Why do you need to do it when no one else does?”).
2. Very poor awareness of legal regulations; the company often does things that violate the law.
3. The supervisors’ capabilities need improvement (it’s a Japanese company, so you know what I mean).
4. The Japanese employees’ capabilities also need improvement.
5. They make some very strange demands (for example, requiring the defect rate in 100% inspections to be 0%).
6. The company takes advantage of employees (it asks you to help with all kinds of strange tasks; even though you work in the office, they may ask you to work on the factory floor).
7. The company has more or less entered a “Dead Sea” phase.
1. Japanese company’s Taiwan branch
2. Complies with Taiwan’s Labor Standards Act (overtime pay and compensatory leave are provided)
3. You receive the company’s products on Labor Day (May 1)
4. Bonuses are paid both mid-year and at year-end
5. Fixed salary structure (as are promotions)
6. New company uniforms and jackets are issued regularly
7. Employees can purchase company products at a staff price (slightly better than market discounts)
1. The lunch boxes are hard to eat (they only cost NT$50—what do you expect?)
2. Morning exercises are required
3. Factionalism is inevitable in a traditional-industry company
4. The preference for men over women found in some Asian companies is difficult to avoid
5. Bad money drives out good money (interpret this as you will)
Punctual working hours
Complies with the Labor Standards Act
Salary is about the same as at typical Taiwanese companies
Taiwanese and Japanese employees are treated differently
Even the boxed lunches they eat are different
Some Japanese people are extremely disrespectful
