The interview process was relaxed
The position I interviewed for was Test Engineer
The interviewer was a PM
The job listing on the recruitment website said “salary negotiable” (typically above 40,000)
But during the actual interview, they made it clear that
this position was probably around 32,000–35,000
It felt like I had been tricked into coming to the interview
The interview process was relaxed
The position I initially interviewed for was Software Test Engineer.
The person interviewing me was a young PM.
The interview process was mostly casual conversation with a few questions about professional knowledge.
There was no difficulty in the technical portion; it may even have exceeded the requirements of the position.
Business trips were almost entirely domestic, mainly to various hotels or companies in the audiovisual streaming (or cable TV) industry.
When discussing salary, the interviewer said there was an opportunity to earn an annual salary of NT$900,000–1,000,000.
They said it very casually, as if it were no problem,
but I felt that something was not quite right.

Although the company is presented as a Hong Kong company, it is actually managed by Taiwanese people.
There is no clocking in or out, which effectively turns overtime into mandatory unpaid work (illegal).
The gym is there but inaccessible and unusable. Parking near the company is hard to find, and the company is too stingy to provide free parking.
The number of long-term overseas-assigned employees accounts for half of the company, but they do not receive additional benefits.
Parking is just as difficult. For more distant assignments—for example, Nantou or Taichung—the company only reimburses accommodation and transportation expenses based on actual costs at most.
The company is also expanding its Hong Kong operations,
which has led to an extremely high turnover rate among employees assigned far away (more than 5–7 people leave within a year; the company has only around 30 employees, although replacements are hired quickly).
Most of the company’s senior executives come from wealthy backgrounds and have overseas educational experience (at a level above Xinyi District), so they do not really understand the needs of ordinary people.
The only advantages are that, being a small company, the people are generally easy to get along with, and there is an annual overseas employee trip.
But once the salary and benefits are factored in......
