Some thoughts on the interview process

1. The company handles every candidate carefully: first a phone interview, followed by an interview with the supervisor, and finally an interview with the CEO.

2. All of the company's products are available to employees at a discounted price.

3. Working hours can be flexibly adjusted by 30 minutes.

4. The one-hour lunch break can be scheduled freely, as long as it is taken between 12:00 and 14:00.

5. Guaranteed salary for 14 months.

6. The company is expanding its business footprint and growing.

Overall, starting with the phone interview, I felt that I kept having to answer more or less the same questions, which was quite annoying. However, if a company were very casual about its hiring, it would not repeatedly confirm questions that needed to be answered again. In other words, those questions are important criteria for this company. Taking the time to choose you shows that the company is seriously looking for suitable talent~

Leaving aside how many grand promises all companies make when recruiting employees, at least in terms of operations, this company is on a path of growth and expansion. I have also worked at a Taiwanese company belonging to a large corporate group, where the system was outdated, senior employees relied on their tenure, and there were many unspoken rules.... Compared with Tengshi, a startup where young people make up the vast majority of the workforce, if you have lots of good ideas and can deliver results but have nowhere to showcase them, I think this company would be a place where you can fully demonstrate your abilities!

I'm really looking forward to receiving an offer. I've truly had enough of workplace cliques and small and medium-sized companies where old-timers do nothing but talk.....

Please, it's 2026 already. If you put too much faith in reviews from several years ago, you really will miss what I think is a great company. I went for an interview and did not experience any of those negative reviews at all. They have now expanded to the point of preparing to go public on the emerging stock market. Go there in person and experience it for yourself, just as I did!

1. The area for miles around is very desolate, with only one convenience store.

2. You need to be more patient than the interviewer.

3. The department manager (Sales) has extensive experience, so you need to be able to deliver results.

4. The company has introduced the OGSM operating model. Personally, I am a little concerned about it (I am relatively weak at administrative and document-related work.

The company itself is well established (three interview rounds in total). During the first round, HR conducts a phone interview and explains the job requirements. (The process isn’t too complicated; I even ended up chatting with HR, and the atmosphere was quite comfortable.)

The second round is an interview with the department manager, preceded by a brief presentation about my influencer experience and plans.

During the interview with the manager, I mainly explained the presentation, while the manager raised questions from time to time for me to answer.

The entire interview process was very relaxed and never felt oppressive or as though they were deliberately making things difficult.

The manager was very willing to listen to all of the interviewee’s experiences and also offered encouragement and praise (the process was quite pleasant).

The final round was an interview with the department manager and future colleagues I would work with, to understand our willingness to communicate and collaborate and assess whether we could reach a consensus about the future.

After completing the three interview rounds, I received an offer from HR the next day.

Looking back on the entire interview process, I felt that the company respected and trusted my professionalism, while also providing me with plenty of guidance and ideas at appropriate times. The company environment was comfortable. While I was waiting for the manager, HR offered me a cup of water to help me relax and not feel too nervous (I was simply encouraged to do my best).

Overall, I felt comfortable and liked the experience quite a lot.

For new graduates, there may be less of what is typically considered a honeymoon period.

For those who want to challenge themselves and make rapid progress, this is a very suitable company!

People who like having their time wasted, being brainwashed, and being forced into things can give it a try, because that’s the only kind of person they’re looking for.

A completely inefficient process requiring three interviews, with a different interviewer each time, and they all ask the same questions. If there is no video interview, they require you to go to the company, and the location is very remote. The first two rounds nearly waste an entire month of your time. In the end, whether you get hired is decided at someone’s whim by a person who inexplicably does not introduce themselves first—possibly the CEO, perhaps?

1. Good company benefits: After completing 3 months, the company gives employees NT$5,000 in shopping credit to purchase company products. There is an afternoon tea day once a month, with plenty of delicious food. A massage therapist comes to the company twice a month to massage employees for 15 minutes per person.

2. Good company environment: The decor is comfortable and bright.

3. No need to clean: The company hires someone to clean regularly.

4. The colleagues are very nice.

5. Employees have a strong sense of loyalty to the company.

6. There are many internal and external training sessions and book clubs: You can grow together with the company.

7. Overtime is paid; you can apply for it as long as your supervisor approves.

1. At your first weekly meeting after joining the company, you have to introduce yourself. Then you have to introduce yourself again at the welcome dinner. After that, you listen to every colleague introduce themselves and explain their work. It takes a full 1–2 hours, and sometimes up to 2.5 hours. It is a huge waste of time, and there is no way a new employee can remember so many people’s faces and names all at once.

2. There are too many activities, but work still has to progress, so you have to work overtime to finish it.

3. As a startup, the company constantly requires employees to learn and improve, which is quite stressful. The internal and external training sessions it arranges are all courses on topics such as communication and management.

4. There is a book club every week, and all employees are required to attend. The group reads one book at a time, with a set number of pages assigned for each session, and everyone has to share their views. There is also a monthly “Fruit Person” session where you have to share your views and make a declaration.

6. Some departments work overtime on a very regular basis.

1. The company has excellent cohesion; everyone working there has very clear and aligned goals.

2. It is an environment that encourages continuous growth. In addition to every colleague constantly learning new things, the company also invites prominent guest speakers to give talks every month. Speakers I have heard include the founders of Whoscall and Popdaily, among others.

3. The benefits are good, including a weekly snack allowance, quarterly recreational activities, book clubs, and employee trips (during the pandemic, the domestic trip was to Silks Place Taroko in Hualien).

4. There are additional performance bonuses on top of the salary, but they are not guaranteed for everyone and depend on performance evaluations (this also applies to back-office staff).

1. The headcount is small, so the workload is relatively heavy.

2. Everyone is quite proactive about learning and growing, which can sometimes be stressful.

3. Most employees are young, and there are not many highly experienced people (ages 25–35).

1. It is a good company that strives for “progress” and “excellence.”

2. The managers are all willing to listen to employees’ opinions and understand their work difficulties and situations. There is a 1-on-1 meeting regularly.

3. Communication is flat, so you can express your thoughts directly.

4. The company uses an OKR system to assess each employee’s achievements. I think this is an effective way to push individual and team progress!

5. The company’s performance has continued to grow and flourish (when I first joined, its revenue had only just broken even). After two years, it had grown rapidly—it is a company with unlimited potential!

6. The founders and managers are highly capable of execution and extremely competent at their work, which also imperceptibly pushes employees to continue growing.

I feel that some of the negative comments are unfair to the company.

At work, everyone should maintain an attitude of being “serious and responsible,” “self-disciplined,” and “efficient.”

Every company has its shortcomings, but perhaps we can first try to reflect on our own areas for improvement,

and try communicating and discussing them with the company’s managers. Simply “complaining” cannot solve any problems!

I am an employee who has “already left the company,” and these are all my sincere thoughts~

I was absolutely not forced by my boss to come here and write these while still employed＾＾

I’ve seen too many negative reviews, and I feel it’s a little unfair~~~

1. Free fruit

2. The colleagues are pretty nice

1. If it's time to get off work but your colleagues are still working overtime and you leave first, the boss will call you in for a talk the next day: “We are a team; this is a question of solidarity,” “I don’t see your passion.” There is no overtime pay, but you have to generate the passion yourself.

2. Your work schedule has to be packed absolutely full—preferably nonstop, with no gaps—so that the boss will feel that paying your salary is worthwhile.

The work consists mostly of miscellaneous tasks and is not highly specialized. You are likely to be treated as labor rather than talent, but it is suitable for practicing the basics.

Clock in when you start work; take responsibility when you leave.

Messages on LINE never stop after work or during holidays.

Work efficiency is low; behind the computer system’s automation is the handiwork of cheap labor.

Managers are highly defensive and aggressive. You have to follow orders exactly, making it difficult to build trust or a sense of belonging.

1. More fruit than you can eat

2. Employees get along well with one another

1. The company focuses on increasing revenue without regard for profits, and salaries are low, so don’t expect to receive very good compensation here

2. The founder says not to waste things, but there is often a large amount of wasted fruit

3. The management approach is very traditional, and performance bonuses for sales staff are extremely low

4. The COO micromanages trivial matters and is not good at the COO’s own responsibilities, such as cross-departmental coordination and organizational operations, resulting in very poor efficiency throughout the company

5. Attendance is tracked when you arrive at work, but leaving work is based on personal responsibility

6. The boss or COO does not care whether you are on leave and will still message you asking you to do various tasks

7. You need the boss’s or COO’s approval to take leave

8. High employee turnover

9. It is no longer a startup, yet it keeps calling itself one

10. There are no systems or procedures; everything is decided by the boss and COO

Good relationships among colleagues, relaxed dress code, fruit available, movie days and recreational activities (after work hours, with compensatory leave)

The boss only thinks about turnover all day, so people with no passion for agriculture can work here too

1. You have to serve as the duty person [ordering lunch boxes, taking out the trash, cutting fruit...] and do cleaning (CEO and COO are exempt); this is not mentioned at all during the interview.

2. Officially, work starts at 9:00, but 【you are required to arrive at the office by 8:50】. Anyone who arrives late has to be the duty person for three days (CEO and COO are exempt).

3. Unlimited responsibility system: The workload for marketing/customer service/procurement is heavy, while the pay is low and does not match the working hours.

4. No overtime pay or compensatory leave. Or rather, they say there is overtime pay, but if you apply for it, you will be called in for a meeting, making it effectively nonexistent.

(Content of the meeting: The company wants employees to have work-life balance; overtime pay is not meant to be used this way, blah blah blah. Then, when you work less overtime, you will be called in for another meeting and asked, “Do you think the effort you’ve put in is enough?” WTF?!)

5. The boss likes employees who work hard and endure hardship, and has a very strong need for control~~~

6. Meetings are held during employees’ lunch breaks; Line messages are sent after work; even when you request leave, you will be questioned about every detail.

7. If an interviewee asks about the salary, the boss generally will not hire them (you must say that you are a lucky person~ The boss likes people who know how to be grateful).

8. There are no systems or procedures; everything is decided by the CEO and COO (the COO often says: “Because I’m the COO.”)

9. Some people may mistakenly think this is a company that cares about the land... They are completely mistaken.

10. Employees are not respected: “XXX, come here for a moment...” Is it so hard to say “please”?

11. They claim that everyone can freely express their opinions, but when your ideas conflict with the boss’s, you will often be met with a sour face, so be careful.

12. They claim to be a startup, but the boss’s management mindset is quite traditional.

The work is not very difficult, and consists mostly of miscellaneous tasks.

If you stay a little longer, you can get to know quite a few people. People come and go, and it is difficult to keep the total headcount above eight.

Logistics and advertising costs have risen sharply. The fruit is sourced from multiple farmers, and because each farmer supplies only a small quantity, our bargaining power is low. The only cost that can be adjusted is personnel expenses, in order to reduce losses.

To improve employee efficiency and foster a no-overtime culture, employees have to work overtime at home. They also tell everyone bullshit about needing to read more because of insufficient ability.

Some rules are like those at an elementary school, but the CEO and COO are exempt:

1. Work starts at 9:00, and employees are required to arrive by 8:50. Anyone who is late has the “benefit” of cleaning up for everyone. The CEO does not arrive until after 10:00.

2. Take turns cleaning the office, the restroom, and the CEO’s office.

3. Take turns serving as the duty person, taking out the trash and handling miscellaneous tasks. When guests arrive, you have to pour tea or water; before going home, you have to close the windows, and so on. There is also a checklist that must be checked off.

Regular overtime

Study groups and movie screenings are not held during work hours
