Guanyin Plant 2 (Instrumentation and Electrical): The interviewer’s attitude was very poor; I don’t know what she was frowning about.
The salary listed on the recruitment website as NT$35,000–40,000 is just a gimmick.
In reality, the starting salary is in the low NT$30,000s. It only exceeds NT$35,000 after adding the mid-/night-shift allowance; regular day shifts do not receive this.
The annual salary is calculated based on the basic salary—ugh, it was really a waste of my time. The interviewing supervisor couldn’t explain anything professionally either.
A company with systems should be able to explain things professionally. At the very least, there should have been a basic test; not even having that is enough to reject them.

The HR manager and factory manager at the Dayuan plant both verbally offered me the job and gave me a reporting notice with an agreed start date. Then, about an hour after I got home, they called to say they were no longer hiring me. I was completely dumbfounded.

The pay is really, really low, and the benefits and work environment are not as described on their website. I don't recommend wasting your time.
Those considering joining should think twice. The year-end bonus is calculated based on base salary, which is usually extremely low. For example, for a Level 2 rotating-shift technician (university degree), the base salary one year ago was NT$14,500, divided by 30 days, amounting to NT$483.3 per day. The regular year-end bonus is 90 days—sometimes even less—although they claim it is guaranteed to be two months. In practice, 483 × 90 = NT$43,470. On top of that, they deduct 20 days, saying it will be paid in the month of the Dragon Boat Festival. Other allowances have to be forcibly added to the monthly salary to reach the supposed NT$37,000, but it is usually around NT$34,000. In addition, it operates on a three-shift system—morning, afternoon, and night—with six days on and two days off. The environment is poor and extremely unfriendly to frontline employees.
