Everyone at the company is very nice. It has a new facility and a comfortable environment, and provides free parking and lunch.

The company is still in the cash-burning stage, so it cannot offer very good compensation.

The security guard was nice, and so was the manager who conducted the first-round interview.

The interview location was not the headquarters, but a module factory less than five minutes away. Compared with the headquarters, the environment was very poor—like an old factory. There was only one employee in the first-floor office, and the desks, chairs, and cabinets all looked very old…

The interview office (which didn’t really look like an office) was simply a space with desks and chairs in it—very basic.

The manager who conducted the first-round interview was friendly and explained the job responsibilities very clearly, so I had a very good impression.

The second-round interviewer seemed to be a senior manager. This person kept me waiting for about 20 minutes, and there happened to be a meeting in the office at the time, so the interview was conducted at a table and chairs in a corner next to the entrance on the first floor. There were other employees nearby as well, which was really quite awkward… This manager tended to go on and on. The main point was that this was a new team that needed to be built, and no one would train you because everyone was very busy. Once you joined, you would need to be independent, teach yourself, figure out what everyone was doing, and observe, ask questions, and learn as much as possible—but whether anyone would answer you was another matter. In the end, they let me ask questions, but whenever I asked about one thing, they continued talking about something else????

In short, think it over carefully.

None

The last time I went for an interview at the Zhongli location, I first signed in at the guard room and put an anti-camera sticker over my phone’s camera before the interview. There was a receptionist in the lobby, and then I was taken to what seemed to be the staff cafeteria nearby, where I waited for several minutes. Then I just had a brief chat with the supervisor, and it ended. The next day, I received a rejection letter.

If the company itself isn’t interested, it shouldn’t casually invite people to interviews and waste both parties’ time.

None

Interviewed position: Sales Representative

There were three interviewers, each conducting a separate interview:

1. Human Resources: At the beginning of the interview, the HR representative asked whether I had received any other offers recently. I said yes, including offers from Japanese headhunters (such as Li x Gao and Bao x Na, etc.). The HR representative then criticized headhunting companies in person, saying that they were terrible and that she had previously worked at a recruitment agency, where recruiters would take a portion of your salary. I feel that the HR representative should not criticize other companies or other professionals during an interview. In addition, the HR representative should have a better understanding that some recruitment agencies are commissioned by the hiring company and receive 10% of the annual salary for the position from the company, rather than taking it from the employee～

2. Japanese-speaking Sales Representative:

The entire interview was conducted in Japanese. It was mentioned that Japanese vendors would visit the Zhongli plant, and that he himself was responsible for Japanese business as well as hosting visitors. Since he was the only person who spoke Japanese, I would also be expected to support his work, such as hosting Japanese vendors, while handling domestic and international business myself.

3. Sales Manager:

The sales manager mentioned during the interview that, because the Zhongli plant had only recently been completed (although it had already been eight months), operations were still disorganized, and they had not yet hired a sales assistant. Therefore, the sales staff had many responsibilities and would often need to work overtime. The manager also mentioned that the position was a “responsibility-based” role. When the manager asked about my expected salary, I stated NT$40,000 (the salary was listed as negotiable on 104), and the manager looked puzzled. There was so much work to do, yet the position was responsibility-based, and when I asked for the same salary listed by the company, I was met with a cold reception. It has been almost a month and I still have not received a rejection notice; I have even forgotten that I interviewed at such a “high-quality” company.

None

The entire interview was very disorganized, and I ultimately received no response.
