The people representing the company in the interview were a department director, a team leader, and a specialist.
The people who claimed to be the department director and team leader appeared to be around fifty or sixty years old.
Their attitude during the interview was arrogant and poor.
They criticized my university major and speculated about why I had chosen to study it.
They also questioned why I wanted to leave home and stay in Taipei for work.
These questions made me very uncomfortable; what I felt from them was "tasteless and discourteous."
They seemed to be stuck in the mindset of two or three decades ago, believing that the employer's interests come first.
Their attitude toward the interviewee's professional skills showed that they apparently did not value them at all.
After five minutes of the interview, I wanted to leave.
Facing interviewers like these representing the company, I completely lost interest in and willingness to join this company.
BTW
The "Frontend Web Engineer" position advertised by this company lists a long string of required technical skills.
But the actual needs lean toward "web layout and graphic design" <= That's how they referred to it! Design, design, design.
They also give some kind of "assignment."
The interviewee is supposed to go home and help them optimize and redesign their current website.
1. The work environment is good, with your own spacious workstation and a large desk.
2. The company restrooms are clean, and most people are fairly easy to get along with.
3. The year-end bonus is fixed at 1.5 months, plus performance bonuses (but these depend on your boss’s evaluation; some people receive a lot, while others receive less than 5,000).
4. Free health checkups are provided (I genuinely think this is great), as well as custom-made company uniforms.
5. Flexible working hours (start between 8:00 and 9:00, leave between 17:00 and 18:00).
There are currently roughly three types of positions at the company: contract assistants (around 25,000), professional staff A (take-home pay under 30,000), and professional staff B (take-home pay close to 40,000).
I am a Professional A, so the following is an evaluation from a Professional A’s perspective.
1. The work you do can never be proportional to the salary; it is inversely proportional!!
2. On the surface, this job looks prestigious and well-paid, but in reality, outsourced employees take home less than 30,000.
3. Although it is supposedly a world trade company, full-time employees constantly call us “outsourced, outsourced, outsourced.” Sometimes the job duties even overlap with those of full-time employees (who were hired through the regular recruitment process), while the salary difference between full-time employees and Professional A starts at 20,000–30,000.
4. If you successfully interview for a position in another department of the company, your original department will force you to resign. Your seniority is immediately wiped out and restarted from scratch; after you join another department, your seniority is recalculated.
4. When I tried to apply for a Professional B position (which pays 10,000 more), I was repeatedly told that I lacked the work experience expected of a Professional B. I was advised to first learn and perform Professional B duties as a Professional A (with take-home pay under 30,000), accumulate Professional B experience, and then see whether I might have a chance to apply for a Professional B position.
5. The bonuses for the three major holidays are extremely small—less than 1,000.
6. If you are a recent graduate, you can come here to gain some experience, but it is not suitable to stay too long because the pay is too low!
