1. The company is very close to Exit 4 of the Nanjing Sanmin MRT Station.

2. The company is clean and bright.

This is my first time sharing interview experience, because this company was extremely disrespectful to job seekers. The following is my personal interview experience, to give other job seekers some guidance.

Before the interview, I had to fill out a job applicant registration form, as shown here: https://lurl.cc/Rmn2R. Several of the questions violate Article 5 of the Employment Service Act.

2. What is your marital status?

3. Do you plan to get married within the next three months?

4. Do you have any serious illnesses?

5. Do you have any credit problems or records of compulsory enforcement?

6. Do you smoke, drink excessively, or chew betel nuts?

After I completed the form, HR took me to another large conference room. The conference table was arranged in a row and could seat six people. HR asked me to sit at the outermost seat near the door, while the interviewer and HR sat at the innermost seats. Both sides had to speak relatively loudly to respond to each other.

The interviewer did not introduce himself. As soon as he sat down, he asked why I had gotten questions wrong on the test, and so on.

Question: How many people were left after your previous company laid people off? Were you laid off because your salary was relatively high?

Response: As stated on the job applicant registration form, I was laid off because my previous company downsized. As for how many people remained on the team, I did not follow up afterward. (My salary at my previous company was in the lower-middle range...)

Question: How much do you know about our company, and why would we need engineers?

Response: I searched online and learned that you are in the logistics business, but I did not look deeply into how many production lines you have. As I understand it, engineers would be needed to systematize the logistics process.

There were also a bunch of other meaningless questions, which I will omit. Finally, he asked whether there was anything I wanted to ask.

I asked:

1. What are the short-term goals and expectations for this position?

The interviewer replied: The system was written in old, native PHP, and we need an engineer to update it.

2. What version is the system currently using, and what version is it expected to be updated to? If it is updated, do you plan to introduce a framework?

The interviewer replied: I’m not sure about the version. As for what version to update to and whether to use a framework, that should be decided by you engineers. If using a framework would be better, then of course you can use one. Alternatively, you can first update from PHP 5 to PHP 7.5 and then update to PHP 8.5.

3. What is the expected completion date and deadline for the system update?

The interviewer replied: The timeline is for you engineers to tell me! If it actually only takes one month and you tell me it will take two months, then I wouldn’t know. But I’ll find out eventually anyway. You engineers can arrange the schedule.

At this point, I no longer felt like continuing the interview. An interview is a two-way process, but he acted so condescendingly and looked down on engineers. I really don’t believe you’ll be able to find anyone.

The interview includes a written test, but it isn't difficult.

The general manager was intimidating during the interview!!

Position: Computer Engineer. The job is located in Taipei, and the offered salary is NT$33,000. It's already 2021—this is truly shocking!!
