I went to the park’s facility for an interview. When I arrived, there was no sign outside the company indicating what company it was. After entering, I also didn’t see anyone at the reception desk—only a cleaning lady. I thought it was the kind of building that housed many companies, so I first looked for an elevator to find out which floor the company was on. Later, when I couldn’t find an elevator or any directions, I asked the cleaning lady. She said there was a security guard at the reception desk and that I should look for the guard first. When the guard saw me, he rudely said that upon entering I should first go to the reception desk to find the guard and not walk around randomly. I first apologized (thinking to myself: It was my first time here—how was I supposed to know? Besides, there was no one there just now). Then the guard told me to fill out some information and a test. The next second, he actually tossed the forms and test onto the desk. I was a little stunned at first, but I still took the forms and test to the desk to fill them out. Later, I realized that I really disliked the guard’s attitude, so I returned the test to him and said that I had something urgent come up and no longer wanted to interview.
The boss has no vision, and the company’s pay and benefits are very poor. Bonuses are almost never paid, and there is no overtime pay. The division of responsibilities is extremely unclear, with no clear accountability for many tasks. Everyone avoids doing them whenever possible, and in the end they all fall to the product manager. The manufacturing department completely plays favorites, constantly claiming that it lacks manpower and refusing to do the work it is supposed to do. The company supposedly isn’t making money, but somehow the boss has a BMW, an Infiniti SUV, and a Porsche SUV... Meanwhile, the engineers below are struggling and having a hard time too.
The internal organization is frequently restructured; it’s a poorly managed company, and the compensation is also relatively low in Hsinchu.
