None

First interview:

The HR staff were terrible, often randomly bringing people in for interviews mainly to meet their performance targets. Be careful. I scored too highly on the English test, and HR actually didn’t believe it and kept questioning why. Absolutely ridiculous!!

The supervisor was also terrible, with poor conversational skills, making grandiose promises and speaking with an arrogant, superior attitude.

Work environment:

It is located in the Kaohsiung Export Processing Zone, which is a very inconvenient location. The smell of chemical gases is very strong, and there are many large trucks nearby, making it dangerous. Be careful when driving.

Overall, the salary is not high. It is a company that offers peanuts and can only hire monkeys. You can go to the interview for practice, but I do not recommend working there.

If they don’t like the look of someone, they make trouble for them. They’re in their seventies or eighties yet act like junior high school students. Afraid of complaints, they resort to underhanded tactics to target and harass people. They protect one another. We have families and friends too; being good-natured doesn’t mean we have no temper. Those people know exactly what they’re doing. I hope your family members encounter people like you when they look for work.

It’s simply terrible.

In the first interview, I used a laptop to complete an aptitude test, personality test, and English test.

HR said that the managers were still in a meeting and would not be available until 11:00, so I waited another hour before the interview began. The two managers then started asking various questions,

as well as asking about my future career plans and expectations.

The process took one hour.

What are the five major roles of AD, and what is the purpose of each role?

What is the VMware HA architecture? Please also illustrate it with a diagram.

What are the four-in-one software solutions for Fortinet firewalls? At that moment, I suddenly could not answer. What is hyper-converged infrastructure?

The questions were all quite difficult and hard to answer, and the manager also seemed rather strict.

The tall, heavyset IT manager coughed while asking questions, which was very impolite.

Finally, the other IT manager said that since the interviews were still ongoing, they would notify me next week if there was a suitable position.

The managers were also poor: they lacked conversational manners, made grandiose promises, and acted as if they were superior.

The salary is fairly high

The restroom is clean

There is a convenience store

If all you want is to go to work and go home with no leisure or entertainment at all, this place is very suitable for you

This is the Hsinchu Hukou plant

The guards are very nice

You constantly have to endure a lot of criticism and scolding

A whole lot of verbal and workplace bullying

They start belittling you

They think hiring two operators would be better than hiring you

They think you’re useless

They think it makes no difference whether you’re there or not

If I’m really that bad,

why doesn’t management deal with me through established procedures?

Why do you still need to resort to vigilante justice?

They start telling people in other departments all sorts of things about you

Gradually,

you’ll start working alone

When something happens, they start passing the buck

Then their mood swings become very intense—

so intense that they think it’s acceptable to throw papers at me,

and even make me pick them up. I don’t know what kind of values that comes from. They won’t apologize to you either. The seniority system is extremely severe: just because they can do something doesn’t mean you can, including bullying you. They also have a bad attitude, are impatient, treat people like air, and ignore them. All of this is normal here.

You might think you can talk things through with them properly,

but they aren’t willing to either,

because they simply don’t care about you as a person.

Whether they’ll talk things through with you

depends on their mood.

This only lets them know what you’re thinking,

while you still don’t understand what they’re thinking.

You might say,

“You could buy them a drink or some food.

Surely then they’d tell you, right?”

Not at all.

When they’re out,

they buy other people things costing seven or eight thousand dollars.

Do you really think they care about the price of a drink?

Pretty bizarre, right?

Maybe they feel a sense of superiority from verbal bullying.

After all, they don’t have much leisure or entertainment.

Mocking people has become part of their entertainment.

Even though we’re at the same level,

they act as if they were my supervisor,

scolding me in a supervisor’s tone.

After reading this, do you still want to come here?

I thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything.

ㄏㄨˊㄎㄡˇWLCSP

The stated meaning is the same as that of the underground plant manager.

Toward superiors

Every day, they flatter the deputy director above while instructing the deputy managers below to undermine the deputy director.

Toward subordinates

A high-pressure policy: before resigning, they first find out which company you are going to, then ask their connections to blacklist you and cut off your future options. If they do not like you, they hint to the four teams below to ostracize and marginalize you, and they do not assign you any work, making you sit at your desk every day.

They say it nicely—“I take good care of people from Hsinchu”—but then interview a bunch of people with national university bachelor's and master's degrees from other counties and cities. ㄎㄎ

If you report being bullied to HR, you will also be silenced and disciplined by the department.

The company culture allows managers to engage in infighting with superiors and bully subordinates.

Choose your job carefully.

The security guard was very friendly

I applied for position A, and the interview invitation I received was also for position A. However, after I arrived at the site, the manager got straight to the point and said that because of organizational restructuring... something like that (I forgot exactly how he put it at the time), the position had been changed to position B, even though the manager interviewing me was the manager for position A.

He also said directly... what he meant was that after I joined, he would not be my manager. = ="

----------

And what’s even more remarkable is... after my interview, this position listing on 104 was closed.

1. The receptionist served tea and water, and provided a laptop (for an English test and aptitude test) as well as a paper-based intelligence test.

2. Frank Kao (HR) was quite friendly during the interview and explained the benefits system, but was relatively cautious when discussing whether overtime pay or compensatory leave was available.

3. The department manager was quite candid in explaining the job responsibilities!

P.S.: The department manager looked somewhat fatigued and was even paged during the interview. This manager seemed quite tired~

1. Working rotating shifts of three days on and three days off

2. Being on duty during holidays

3. On call

So bad that I can’t think of any advantages.

There is a manager who can doze off at their desk and even get startled when someone wakes them up. During work hours, they just shop online for their own things. Not only are they late almost every day, but they completely refuse to acknowledge what they have said, show extreme disrespect toward employees, and treat people as if they can summon and dismiss them at will. They are simply the female version of Han Kuo-yu—Chipbond’s Han Kuo-yu... A terribly incompetent management team! I really don’t know how Chairman Chen chooses people!

There is a parking lot for employees.

Only after joining did I find out that this was actually a position for an online bank’s annual recruitment. After passing two written exams and interviews, I finally managed to get hired, only to discover after joining that there were no colleagues—everyone had gradually resigned and left over the years. You have to go to Hsinchu for training, followed by several intensive days of classes and a series of exams and spot checks to assess the results. If they are dissatisfied, they arbitrarily pressure employees to resign during the probationary period. They have no intention of providing training and only demand that new employees immediately pack up and leave. It was the first time I felt treated like an idiot and toyed with. During the interview, they made it seem as though the candidate had been selected after an extremely careful process, but after I joined, the supervisor made hindsight excuses such as having misjudged the candidate and used insulting remarks to pressure employees into resigning. The company has not properly handled this kind of supervisor and allows them to act recklessly, so it is no wonder that the entire department has left and cannot retain anyone. This is a company that mistreats people—I strongly do not recommend it!

There is nothing good to say.

I applied for a technician position.

At the beginning, unlike other companies that give you an application form directly, they made you take those lousy tests first. You only got to fill out your application after passing them.

English: write a–z

English multiple-choice questions

Attention to detail

After passing those, they still tested your memory.

They gave you five minutes to memorize something.

But after memorizing it, I wrote some other things and forgot it all.

I think I got full marks on everything else,

but on this lousy memory test, I only filled in three boxes.

Then they told me I had failed.

What the hell!!

Why don't you try taking it yourself? Do you think you'd pass?

You memorize the questions and then write them on the answer sheet.

That was the only thing I got wrong.

They didn't give me an interview opportunity.

This is seriously ridiculous...... I will never apply here again.

This lousy company should hurry up and shut down in Hsinchu.

Whether you move to China or Southeast Asia, I don't care.

Taiwan doesn't need a lousy company like this.

The security guards are very kind, and the receptionists are friendly as well.

First, an explanation of the interview process:

*When the interview invitation is sent, you will be asked to print out and complete your résumé, then bring it with you on the day of the interview (A4, double-sided).

1. Aptitude test, approximately 30 questions / Interview overtime and personal background investigation form, one A4 page / Personal information consent form. Hand them to the receptionist after completing them.

2. English test (approximately intermediate level of the GEPT): vocabulary / contextual word selection / reading comprehension (eight A4 pages in total).

The test time is one hour. Hand it to the receptionist after completing it.

3. HR interview, approximately 30 minutes:

- Self-introduction (in addition to personal work experience, explain your personality traits as well)

- Why do you want to change jobs? What is your future direction? (explained below)

- What did you gain or accomplish in your previous job? What special experiences did you have?

- What do you think this job involves?

- Do you have any questions? (I asked about training, which unexpectedly triggered some issues, as described below.)

4. Interview with the supervisor, approximately 20 minutes:

- Questions about previous work experience

- Detailed explanation of the duties of this position

- Questions about the salary structure at the previous company

Additional explanation:

I. During the interview, I actually did not mention that I was only looking for sales positions; I merely mentioned that I had previously interviewed for similar positions.

I also did not mention that I was only looking for jobs related to English. However, as soon as the interview supervisor came in, they brought up both of these points, which I found somewhat puzzling.

After finishing the interview with the supervisor, I also felt that HR did not really understand my job-search needs.

When HR asked what I thought this job involved, they said they felt I regarded this job as a receptionist position.

However, after speaking with the supervisor, I learned that the job does include answering calls on behalf of others. This is indeed part of the receptionist’s duties, along with some administrative tasks for the department, so I am not sure which part was misunderstood.

The following is the job description listed on 104:

1. Sending mail / Delivering documents

2. Managing the department’s petty cash

3. Answering calls on behalf of others and receiving visitors for the sales department

4. Organizing and filing documents/reports

5. Administrative affairs contact window for the sales department

II. I mentioned my previous experience applying to a certain company. However, because my abilities were not yet sufficient, that company did not hire me. I do not know why HR kept thinking that I really wanted to work for that company.

III.

1. In the “questions I wanted to ask” section, I asked questions related to training. Perhaps I did not express myself clearly enough.

HR asked in return: “What do you want to know? Do you mean personal training or...?”

I answered: “I want to understand whether the company holds seminars and invites instructors to provide training, or something similar.”

HR replied: “That is not called a seminar,” and then asked why I was asking this question.

I answered: “Because training can actually show how much a company values and develops its talent.”

HR then asked: “How much do you know about the company?”

Since I really had not learned about it in depth, I was unable to answer. (That was my fault.)

Then, for some reason, I mentioned the company name, Chipbond (pronounced like “Qi”). Since people around me in the industry have always pronounced the character “頎” as “欣,” I had mistakenly believed it was pronounced “欣.” HR became extremely upset, believing that I had not put in enough effort, did not understand the company, and had even mispronounced its name without looking up the website to research its benefits... “What right do you have to ask me this question [about training]?”

I later acknowledged that not knowing enough about the company was my problem and something I needed to improve. Since I had nearly ten interviews recently, I admitted that I had been lazy and had not researched every company thoroughly. However, when I was suddenly asked to explain what the company did, I really could not answer beyond saying that it was related to chips and wafers.

HR asked: “Do you still want to ask this question?”

I answered: “I still want to understand, but if you choose not to tell me, that is fine. After all, I also did not put in enough effort.”

HR then finished explaining and went out to ask the supervisor to come in for the interview.

Regarding training, it was mentioned on the website, but I still wanted to understand it in greater depth, which is why I asked. Being questioned about this point left me somewhat at a loss.

The other issues were my fault, and it was appropriate for me to be questioned about them!

2. However, when I first entered the meeting room, HR’s attitude really felt cold (a poker face), similar to one of the reviews on Tianyancha. The truth of that is difficult to determine.

During the interview, they also asked exactly what research I had done. I answered that I had gone to the PTT Tech Job board to learn about the interview process. Naturally, there were both positive and negative comments there, including comments saying that the HR staff were very attractive, as well as various comments that the company’s general conditions were not very good. HR again questioned why I had only looked at PTT instead of checking the company website to learn about the benefits. I should not have explained it in such detail...

*The total interview time, including waiting, was approximately 3–4 hours (the longest interview I have attended so far).

*The meeting room arranged for the English test was near the restroom and the entrance to the internal office, so it was relatively noisy.

Although this would not have made me perform better on the English test, it was simply something I noticed.

Conclusion: I will seriously reflect on myself and strengthen the areas where I am lacking, so that I can move on to a better place. Thank you!

In addition, I hope HR can have a better attitude. You can be stern when I make a mistake, but I had not made a mistake at the beginning, so I hope you could have been kinder.

People can feel differently because of a single smile or a person’s attitude. Being professional is not the same as being cold. I have interviewed at many companies, so I can still tell the difference. The impression you give when you are professional but have a poor attitude is different from when you are professional and have a good attitude. I may not become your colleague because my abilities are insufficient and my attitude is not good enough, but your attitude also did not make me feel that it was good. While hoping that I will grow, I also hope that you can understand the importance of this matter. Thank you!

Since there are already so many negative aspects, I probably do not need to add another one. In the end, it all comes down to personal opinion.

The security guard was very friendly

The woman from the Gao surname HR department had a very poor attitude during the interview.

It was obvious that she was asking foolish questions in order to “intimidate” the interviewee.

She was very arrogant, which was really inappropriate as the face of a company.

However, when I asked her questions, she became so nervous that she repeatedly flipped through my résumé.

She went from the first page to the last, then from the last page back to the first, going back and forth. She seemed genuinely nervous.

She also kept repeating herself.

I followed up on her answers by asking more in-depth questions,

and her reaction was unexpectedly somewhat embarrassed and angry... as if I had hit a sore spot.

Therefore, if applicants encounter the woman from the Gao surname HR department, please do not panic in the face of her biting remarks.

She seems more like the type who relies on borrowed authority to intimidate others; if you ask truly in-depth questions, she will be very afraid of you.

Moreover, when she made a subsequent phone call to invite me to interview with the supervisor, her attitude was completely different from during the interview—she was practically gentle and refined.

I thought she was not the same person...

The supervisor was the cordial type and showed great respect for people. The interview mainly focused on personal background and understanding of the job duties.

The salary was poor, but the product was decent.

No advantages at all!!

They treat job applicants terribly.

I interviewed for a technician position and was first given a test.

They didn't say how it should be completed, so I just looked it over and answered what seemed simple.

But that damn HR person said I failed.

The attention-to-detail test required a score of 95 to pass.

That damn requirement wasn't written anywhere above! Fuck!

They also want me to come back next time—come back again, my ass.

What a fucking terrible company.

I was the only person who came for an interview today, and they still gave me this kind of bullshit.

Can't the answers I wrote be corrected or changed??

Fucking hell!!!!

There are no pros to speak of. Just as bad as the negative reviews I saw on PTT—absolutely awful.

English test... math test... attention-to-detail test... memory test...

After putting you through all those tests, they offer a salary and benefits package that makes you want to vomit. A zoo that can only afford to pay peanuts should go hire foreign labor instead. Absolutely awful!

In the production unit, putting it positively, you can learn a lot; putting it less positively, the division of labor is uneven.

Some supervisors do not really care about employees who have worked for more than 10 years. They slack off seriously, yet this goes unnoticed, while employees with less than three years of experience are afraid to complain despite their resentment.
