Colleagues get along well; that's about it.

Overall: The company posts “unrealistic job openings” to lure young people in. You only find out the actual work location after the interview; there is no such thing as a “Taichung office.” The office, park, and factory are all in Houli, so if you do not want to commute to work in a rural area, think twice.

Job duties: Whether you are working in product design, marketing and sales, or as a multimedia design assistant, your job will involve helping receive visitors at the park. The work schedule also requires shifts. It feels like the boss and the boss’s wife have very little respect for various skills and areas of expertise.

Company prospects: The company’s annual planning is very poor. The boss decides to do whatever comes to mind, and everything is always urgent and sudden. There is no comprehensive brand planning or overall direction, making it difficult to see a future here. Pay raises are basically nonexistent. When colleagues resign, their work is handed to you. Positions then remain unfilled for a long time, with personnel from other departments repeatedly reassigned to provide support. Once again, it feels like employees are not valued.

Salary: There is no year-end bonus. The bonuses for the three major holidays may consist of company products or a NT$200 first-day-of-work red envelope.

I can't think of any advantages.

After interviewing for the assistant designer position, I understood why it has been a perennial opening. Here are the main points:

1. The senior manager conducting the interview told me that after joining, there would be a three-month probationary period at the factory site. During this period, whether you would be retained would be assessed based on your work attitude.

2. The work is very miscellaneous, mainly supporting the woodworking experience services; only secondarily ''possibly'' involving the duties of your own position.

3. The factory site is extremely far from the city, and the pay is low. Your finishing time will be adjusted according to the site's operating conditions, so please be prepared to work overtime at any time.

4. Recently, the company's products have not been selling well. The woodworking courses sell relatively better, so the main focus is on the woodworking courses.

5. The company's products do not have a clear overall direction; it is still trying to determine what style and target demographic to develop for.

In addition, the interviewer was somewhat arrogant and also let slip that employees have often left in the past. They hope to find someone who identifies with the company as a ''family.'' If you want to join, be mentally prepared.

Salaried employees get along well with one another

A seemingly well-established small company, but decisions are repeatedly reversed and there are no processes

People who are not involved in decision-making can nevertheless change decisions

Employees’ efforts go unnoticed, and everything is assumed to be very simple

Uncompetitive salary and benefits; make sure it is clearly explained whether there is an annual bonus

Sweet talk, but time will prove everything

None

Job conditions: Simply put, besides doing graphic design, this position also requires supporting product design and accepting holiday shifts for on-site customer reception. The starting salary is 26K, and you must provide your own camera. Preferably, you can drive and have a car.

Work environment: The studio for customers is large and beautiful, but the office is extremely cramped and dim, making it look crowded and uncomfortable.

Interview process: Upon arrival, you have to fill out a résumé form that includes a psychological test, and then interview with the supervisor after completing it. The supervisor who interviewed me was extremely rude, with an attitude as if someone owed him money. He did not introduce himself at all, and while holding a ballpoint pen in his right hand, he rudely flipped through my portfolio, nearly scratching it several times. When asked about overtime, he gave a vague answer. When I tried to ask for specific details, his foul expression abruptly shut down the conversation.

They asked some questions, e.g.: Can the videos be shot with a phone? Can you drive?

In short, the entire interview process was extremely unpleasant. The supervisor acted arrogantly, as though condescendingly doing others a favor, and appeared very impatient. In the end, there was nothing more for us to discuss, so the supervisor simply took away the cup of water on the table that had been given to me (I had not opened it to drink), then slammed the door and walked out. The entire process lasted less than 15 minutes, but I still felt that it was an enormous waste of time.

The interview location is near Houli Horse Ranch. It is remote, but the scenery is beautiful and sunny.

Interview for Product Designer — Taichung Office. After entering the tourist factory, I first filled out some forms, and then interviewed with the assistant manager. However, the assistant manager constantly gave off an unpleasant, condescending attitude. During the interview, aside from asking me to introduce myself, they did not introduce themselves or the company at all, and only kept asking, “Do you have any other questions?” If they did not want to conduct the interview, they could have reviewed the applicant’s résumé beforehand to avoid this situation. After all, applicants had prepared their résumés when they applied, and the time spent on the interview was not wasted only by them—the interviewee also had to spend time and money on transportation to and from the interview. Overall, it was a very poor interview experience. I suggest that if your portfolio does not include solid wood projects, there is no need to go to the interview.
