緯德科技股份有限公司 (TechLink Corporation)

1. Dispatch company

2. If you're lucky, you can be dispatched to your dream company

1. Few benefits

2. There isn't much guidance, so you need to learn independently

For context, I interviewed for a front-end engineer position.

The interview process was very simple.

After I finished introducing myself,

the interviewer did not ask any technical questions.

They only asked some basic questions,

then introduced the projects currently available,

and asked how soon I could start work,

what my expected salary was,

and whether I would mind being stationed at a client site, among other things.

Before the interview, I was asked to fill out a Word document they provided,

but I did not fill it out.

I asked the HR representative what the purpose of filling out the document was.

They said they mainly wanted to understand my "areas of expertise,"

using a scale like this: 5. Very proficient, 4. Proficient, 3. Skilled, 2. Practical experience, 1. Have studied but no practical experience.

There was no test in the interview.

Before the interview, HR asked me to fill out a form in their format, but they actually sent me one that someone else had already filled out? Good thing it didn't contain any personal information—it was pretty ridiculous.

The interviewer was actually quite talkative, but later said they would discuss it with the PM and get back to me about which location would be suitable for me. Then I was ghosted, and all the job postings on 104 were removed?

None

After just one day, HR called to urge me to reply about whether I would come for an interview

Every time I open my résumé, I receive an interview invitation from this company.

Always short-staffed, which indicates major internal problems at the company and an inability to retain employees.

This is a lousy company—stop trying to hold on. If the lousy culture and lousy systems aren’t changed,

it will always be short-staffed.

None

The reason you need to bring your own laptop is that projects do not last very long, so the company you are assigned to will not prepare a machine for you. You can tell from that sentence alone how terrible a company that takes on contracts as a subcontractor can be. What's more, this company seems particularly good at collecting backup candidates everywhere, so after the interview, do they just ghost you?

In the end, can they just claim that the client did not want a useless person like you?

If you're going to work for that kind of subcontracting company, wouldn't it be better to go somewhere like Lite-On or MiTAC, where there are at least better benefits and job security?

It doesn’t leak on rainy days

They say they are recruiting and training software engineers, but in fact they have no intention of training you at all. The work itself does not actually require programming, but you are expected to work overtime throughout the holidays and even three times a day. The person managing personnel deliberately makes things difficult, giving you a bunch of very basic Java questions while putting on an attitude of “This is very difficult—can you do it? I’m giving you an opportunity by hiring you,” when in fact they are just trying to trick someone into filling this shitty position.

The recruiter is named Allen. Contact phone number: 02-2717-6370. He uses a very fake, gentle tone to cover up his arrogance.

.

Interviewing many people at the same time, taking a scattershot approach; they may genuinely want to hire, but may simply be collecting a pool of candidates. There may not necessarily be a project or work for you to do, and...

Colleagues are easy to get along with

A good opportunity to develop emotional intelligence

1. Insufficient professional expertise in the business team; they lack an overall understanding of project details, resulting in projects being sent to the wrong person

2. Disorganized systems; there is no salary increase after passing the probationary period, and you have to call repeatedly to chase it up

3. Some project work is very much like disposable copy-and-paste work

4. The company may ask employees to take the blame and does not respect employees’ feelings

None

Calling all interviewees in at the same time feels like casting a wide net—rather haphazardly trying to hit the target.

The work involves overtime until 11 or 12, and you have to join many LINE groups at the same time; if you’re tagged, you have to reply.

None

For the engineering position I applied for, I ended up being given a test written in a language that wasn't even relevant to the role.

When I asked the interviewer about it, they told me I was simply expected to know it all?

I applied for a frontend position but was expected to handle the backend too—just great~

:)

:)

It seemed like they gave a lot of advice

The company was much smaller than I imagined

The interview didn't feel very good; there were a lot of unnecessary words

In short, we just didn't click

The interview process was fairly pleasant; it was just a conversation, with no tests.

You have to bring your own laptop and work on-site. The interviewer also didn’t seem to know much about the job responsibilities, which was a bit strange.

Can't think of any...

If you're a recent graduate thinking of applying to this company,

please pay attention to "Trainee Software Engineer (JAVA)".

For this position,

you won't need to write much code yourself—70–80% of it has already been packaged.

You will also need to work overtime on holidays.

All recent graduates, please think carefully before submitting your résumé.

1) The office in Songshan looked okay, though somewhat small. Water was provided during the interview, and the interview experience was also fairly okay.

2) Although I knew deep down that this company was probably a staffing agency, I still asked about it, but the answer was very vague.

3) Why is there a second interview? The second interview was in Neihu, at a "7-Eleven," which made the overall impression quite poor.

The interview process was quite pleasant

Employee dinners and company trips

You may be assigned to work at other companies and may need to collaborate with other teams there. You must provide your own laptop (the company does not provide a subsidy).

N

The interviewer had a poor attitude

NaN

The interviewer was flippant and casual. Halfway through the interview, they answered a phone call, leaving the other interviewer completely at a loss. I was left hanging for nearly five minutes before they came to their senses and asked questions, while the interviewer taking the call continued talking on the phone as if no one else were there. They even disregarded the interviewee’s impression, swearing freely, and throughout the interview gave the impression of looking down on others.

Although I am a complete beginner preparing to change fields—an absolute novice—I think there should still be a basic level of mutual respect. The entire interview felt rude and lacking in professionalism!

Very good at finding jobs

Give me back my overtime pay, and reimburse my labor and health insurance premiums

No impression.

Applied for an RD on-site position; the benefits were difficult to determine. I interviewed in September 2016, and the salary offered was extremely low. If I remember correctly, the annual salary offered was NT$500,000–600,000—about half of what I earned at my first job—even though my expectations were clearly stated on my résumé. An interview with no shared understanding; it wasted both parties’ time. Poor.

None

1. You have to buy your own laptop.

2. On payday, you need to check whether your salary has been deposited into your account.

3. Don’t let the salespeople lead you by the nose. Only trust what is in writing, leave yourself a way out, and protect your rights.

4. Before they trick you into joining, everything is negotiable; after they trick you into joining, they leave you to fend for yourself.

They did not pay my wages after I left. In the meantime, they even called to ask whether I wanted to work at one of their assigned sites. I only found out I had not been paid after checking my bank account. When I called to ask, I learned that they simply did not want to pay me. If they did not want to pay, why did they ask me a few days earlier whether I wanted to work at one of their locations? They did not show up for mediation with the Labor Bureau; they only appeared after I filed a lawsuit. I do not recommend this company.

Basically, this is a company that follows the Labor Standards Act, so you shouldn’t expect much in the way of additional benefits. The year-end bonus is one month’s salary.

This is a company that dispatches IT personnel to client sites. Once the sales representative assigns someone to a site, there is basically no further contact with the employee.

The companies where you are stationed are all medium-to-large in scale, so if you want to take on the challenge of learning about the structures and operations of large companies, it may be worth giving it a try.

If you want to know whether this company is a good fit, be patient and ask around in relevant engineering communities. You’ll find plenty of relevant experiences to use as reference.

Do not apply for the sales assistant position! There is a salesperson whose name starts with D who is very good at making things sound appealing, but after joining, the job is actually just endlessly looking through 104 to help them find people and arrange meetings.

If the number of people contacted or people who join is insufficient, the boss starts blowing up in all kinds of ways.

There is also a senior female employee who constantly monitors your every move and makes sarcastic or seemingly friendly but malicious remarks.

More importantly, if there is a gathering with other companies or a company gathering, the sales assistant will quickly start being pressured to drink alcohol (by company salespeople, engineers, and so on). So friends considering joining, please think it over～
