The Taipei office is located on the first floor of a narrow alley. It has completely transparent glass windows, so the inside of the office can be seen on Google Maps. The interior feels crowded and messy, with no partitions between desks and a completely open-plan layout.
The company asks you to fill out its standard résumé form, which includes questions about whether you are pregnant, your marital status and whether you have resigned, the genders and number of your children, your religious beliefs, your financial obligations such as how much you pay in mortgage, rent, car loans, and debt, your criminal record, bad credit, and whether you are willing to work overtime on holidays, travel for work, answer company calls on holidays, accept job transfers, and so on. It is approximately 4.5 pages long and includes questions requiring written answers.
The interviewer said that the company complies with the Labor Standards Act, but frequently requires overtime without paying overtime compensation because employees are under a “duty-based work-hour system”?! (Does this actually comply with the Labor Standards Act? Isn’t even the résumé form illegal?)
Family-owned company.....already famous for its love of overtime!
Working overtime is the norm....5:30 p.m. is the unofficial 6:00 p.m. quitting time!
