The company is near Daqiaotou MRT Station.
1. The HR interviewer had short hair and a very poor attitude.
2. The interview questions were ridiculous. For the calculation questions, they gave only 30 seconds to calculate. There was also an old exam question about taking apart a box, along with a bunch of other questions I had no idea about. The time limits were all very short. There was really no need to prepare for questions like these; they had nothing to do with professional ability.
3. I knew that this company's purchasing positions were frequently posted, and now I finally understand why: because overtime is required every day. During the interview, the supervisor explicitly stated the latest time they could accept employees working overtime. It is a fixed-responsibility system.
They said that if there was something urgent, leaving at 6:30 p.m. after finishing work at 6:00 p.m. would be fine, but normally you should try to finish your work, and leaving at 8 or 9 p.m. is the norm.
4. The job description on 104 looked very simple, so there were a lot of applicants. Naturally, HR's attitude was also worse, and the supervisor considered overtime normal.
5. I thought the salary would be pretty good since overtime was required, but I was wrong. The purchasing specialist position listed a salary of NT$30,000 to NT$50,000, but in reality they would only offer you a little over NT$30,000. Hello? Are even Taiwanese companies of somewhat significant size really this arrogant? Maybe many people can accept it, so the boss does not think this is a problem.
5. The turnover rate is very high, and the position appears frequently.
Snacks and drinks sold in the employee vending machines are much cheaper than market prices.
1. If you have a problem with being late or oversleeping, don't come. Tardiness accounts for a significant portion of performance evaluations, and taking leave also involves a whole host of nitpicky issues.
2. If you can't handle pressure and aren't willing to be exploited, don't come. Some people will keep a close eye on you and start asking questions as soon as you leave your seat.
3. If you're at a junior or mid-level position, have poor relationships with your colleagues, and attract scrutiny, you'll be called in for an interview with HR or your supervisor. Congratulations—you've entered the PIP list. Your year-end performance rating will probably be poor or the worst, and there's a high chance you won't receive a year-end bonus. Yes, this place only recognizes achievements; hard work counts for nothing. Resign and find another job as soon as possible. Don't be persuaded to stay by your supervisor patting you on the head—it's only because they can't find anyone to share the workload. At the end of the year, you'll still be told that you won't receive a year-end bonus.
The interviewer was very kind, and the interview process was fairly pleasant.
The written test before the interview was extremely long, and the hand-eye coordination test was quite absurd... It really tested my patience.
The question bank for the professional exam was very outdated, and it tested very obsolete computer knowledge...

Before the interview, you have to take a written test. The test takes a very long time—several hours—and only after you finish it does HR tell you that the manager suddenly has something to attend to today and therefore cannot conduct the interview.
Incidentally, HR had an extremely arrogant attitude; throughout the written test and interview process, their expression and tone were completely dismissive.
Close to the MRT station, and the interviewing manager was nice
I agree that HR does not respect job applicants' privacy. I clearly said that I did not want them to call my current supervisor, but during the interview they still required me to fill in that they could. They said they would contact my former company to verify things no matter what. I really don't understand what they were trying to verify. Fortunately, I had already resigned; otherwise, it would have been extremely awkward.
The interview time was very strange. They insisted on exactly noon, saying that this was how they always arranged it. Although a second interview could be scheduled at another time, the initial interview and test had to be at noon. Because of this, I had to take a full day off for the interview, and then take another day off for the second interview...

New employees have to sign a 2-year unequal contract. The contract includes a penalty for resigning, and there is no additional bonus when the contract expires.
The information system was developed in-house by the IT department and is not very user-friendly.
There are no special benefits, only those required by the Labor Standards Act.
A job that requires you to sign an indenture will absolutely never bring anything good.
HR shows very little respect for applicants’ privacy, the pay is low, and they even force you to sign a two-year employment contract. You might as well have a monkey do the job.
