Read the community guidelinesThe prices were clearly stated: there were questions in the 40,000–50,000 range and also questions in the 50,000–60,000 range.
In the end, I first chose the ones above 40,000, and there were three questions.
The first was a simple Input, followed by using a timer to produce the output.
The second involved comparing Java strings. I directly converted them into byte arrays and compared them bit by bit. Being able to react at all during an on-the-spot exam was already pretty good. The interviewer didn’t care whether the function names I used were exactly correct; as long as I explained what they were for, they let me use them.
Finally, I had to rewrite the lltoa function in the fastest way possible. The interviewer also told me what it was for, so I wrote a brute-force solution with a for loop. Then the interviewer asked whether I wanted to challenge questions above 50,000. So I gave it a try.
The first question was about the button states on a touch panel. I told them that state could be used to implement it, but I didn’t finish writing it. After finishing the first sheet, I had no fight left in me.
The remaining two questions were rotating a graph and a Perl program I couldn’t understand.
The HR attitude was poor.
If you can’t afford to pay people, don’t recruit them. As for the later questions, even someone earning 70,000 a month might not necessarily be able to solve them.
1. Traditional industry; work process SOPs are not well established, resulting in everyone doing things their own way. PM requirements are unclear, and test requirements are often not documented in black and white; instead, people are simply told verbally what functions to test.
2. There are so many people in one department, yet there are only a tiny amount of snacks.
3. The restrooms are extremely small. After using the restroom and washing their hands, there are no paper towels, so everyone walks out with wet hands.
4. Individual packets of toilet paper are not provided; you have to bring your own.
5. The coffee machine requires payment (personally, I find this ridiculous—I have never encountered a workplace where you have to pay for coffee since entering the workforce).
6. Working hours are not completely flexible (there is a monthly allowance of 100 minutes for lateness, equivalent to only 5 minutes per day; beyond that, you have to take leave).
7. You cannot go out to buy drinks or snacks during working hours or take a short break. It feels exactly like being locked in a prison—extremely restrictive.
8. The software lacks quality, and the product architecture has major issues. Features that have been tested are released, yet not long afterward, problems reported by customers still come back.
The testing position is a terrible job. Do not go there under any circumstances.
The boss is very considerate of the employees. Every now and then, he patrols his asset building; whenever he sees you working seriously while using your phone, he finds a way to dismiss you.
Also, if you go downstairs five minutes early at noon to pick up your lunchbox, he asks you to walk there yourself.
The company is perfect and has no shortcomings.
1. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of personal time
2. Leaving work on time
3. Communication and coordination among colleagues are fairly smooth
1. The CEO and business director are unable to lead the business team in doing what a business team should do
2. The R&D manager keeps asking the PM to do what the business director should be doing
3. The IT department has become obsessed with following the ISO 27001 process
4. The software produced has no quality and cannot be controlled
5. The boss likes seeing people still at their desks after 7 p.m., but simply does not pay overtime (a typical exploitative-boss mentality)
6. So far, one PM, one RD, and four QEs have left—all people in important positions. Senior management does not seem concerned at all that more people may leave as a result of this situation; it feels as though they are just letting the company collapse.
Overall, this company is suitable for coasting toward retirement. It is very lenient in the way it handles people, and there are a lot of unsuitable people sitting in their positions. At the company-wide meeting at the beginning of the year, the boss even said that Foxconn is a “fox company.” Considering the difference in scale, those of you reading this should be able to judge the true situation of this company, right?
The rooftop view lets you see Taipei 101; the sunset and night views are fantastic.
A nursing home—many people there stay for five or ten years, while good talent leaves quickly.
One PM replaces another.
The management office monitors whether you leave during work; you cannot even go buy a drink. If you return to the office after 1 p.m., the front desk will record it in the attendance records.
No flexible working hours.
The chairman’s son-in-law has a great deal of influence; if you offend him, your year-end bonus will be nearly zero.
Everything is judged by appearances, and they expect you to work meaningless overtime.
The year-end bonus is based on your salary before the raise.
No clear opportunities or channels for promotion.
A company that values hardware; as long as the software runs, that is considered good enough.
Everything depends on the chairman, and managers have very little authority.
Many long-serving employees; their thinking is rigid and conservative.
If you stay there too long, you will have no competitiveness when you leave. Many people are just there to pad their résumés before changing jobs.
Overtime pay can reach 30,000.
The lunch selection is pretty good.
The promised salary adjustment is often delayed. Asking too many questions may get you blacklisted.
They really like internal conflicts. It’s difficult for highly skilled technical staff to get a raise.
Interviewed for a software engineer position; nothing particularly stood out.
1. Interviewed for a software engineer position, but the test questions were abstract SA questions that had absolutely nothing to do with the requirements in the job description!
2. The interviewer only asked basic questions, so why couldn't the test questions be more relevant? Is there any use in asking about far-fetched scenarios? They asked about them again during the interview....
3. There wasn't even a glass of water, and the interview room was very hot.
4. It feels like a very rigid company, and the software they make is also bundled and integrated with hardware.
5. The building is a little far from the main roads.
The salary is all above 30,000, thanks to overtime.
The boss always likes to drag out what they say
Long hours of overtime
It's difficult to get a raise
.
A certain senior executive is rigid in their thinking, impractical, insists on calling a deer a horse, self-righteous, and blames others for not understanding despite not understanding themselves.
I applied for a QA position, and the test included SQL syntax. Since I don’t use it often, I left it blank. The interviewer didn’t refuse to talk to me just because I didn’t answer it (I transferred from RD to QA, and they should know that I learn this kind of thing quickly).
The department was established only about three years ago. It tests the UI on POS systems, and there is no need to write other tools for verification.
There is rarely overtime. The year-end bonus depends on performance, with a maximum of two months’ salary.
Nothing in particular.
During the interview, the things you said made me think that you place great importance on software concepts, which made me feel deeply moved.
You really are amazing. Is Wei an old hand? Isn’t this a big company?!

A certain senior executive was very polite and open to discussing ideas. It is rare to encounter a manager who shows such respect for people; having such a pleasant conversation made for an enjoyable interview experience.
P.S. Managers like this are becoming increasingly rare in the industry—like endangered animals.
1. The company has money to build and renovate office buildings and construct very “large” factories, yet it does not pay performance bonuses to encourage employees. Overall, it is very stingy and operates on a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
2. The company deals with employees (if you ever become one of the unlucky ones) in “passive, delaying, and labor-law-evading” ways.
3. The survival rule is that the more you say, the more mistakes you make; it is better to say less and do less. Flattering the boss is also more important. The boss is outwardly gentle but inwardly tough and does not allow “outsiders” to criticize him.
4. You can coast toward retirement here, but the company has little prospects. There are too many incompetent people inside; some are not very capable and seem completely brainless.
5. Efficiency is extremely poor. I have never seen a company where everything is done this inefficiently (based on my past work experience).
6. If you only want to collect a monthly salary and make a basic living, you can come here—but do not be fooled by the high-rise buildings! They belong to the boss and have nothing to do with you.
