Read the community guidelinesFree lunch; boxed meals are provided when working overtime.

The turnover rate in the AR/VR department is high. Employees are subtly discouraged from claiming overtime pay, and working hours are long; working overtime on Saturdays is often required.
Before the interview, I went to the security office to exchange my ID card, and the security guard was very friendly! I also had to put dust covers over both shoes before entering. Before the interview, I filled out some information and took a written test (with very basic questions). The interview with the HR department was very relaxed and pressure-free, more like simply having a chat to get to know the job applicant.
I did not find anything unpleasant during the interview process; it was very relaxed and pleasant.
Saturdays and Sundays are fixed days off.
Graduates with master's degrees from National Taiwan University, National Tsing Hua University, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, or National Cheng Kung University have a fixed monthly salary of NT$43,000, but there is no overtime pay.

After joining, overtime pay is nowhere to be seen.

There are quite a lot of attractive women there; assistant staff earn around NT$30,000 per month.
The company provides meals from Shin Nong. I forgot whether it is in the basement or on the first floor. The food is okay, and you take as much as you want.
The company consistently employs Vietnamese migrant workers. They are around 20 years old and not too old.
The company is divided into the photography department and the optics department.
There is no overtime pay in the lighting department, while some sections of the optics department do provide it.
The company has not made money in recent years, so there are no year-end bonuses or year-end banquets. However, the list of employees receiving promotions is announced before the Lunar New Year.
