Read the community guidelinesThe person who interviewed me was not the boss, but presumably a supervisor.
They spent quite a long time explaining the company’s situation and the prospects for future collaboration.
The company is relatively small, so if the role is not related to R&D, you may need to support other projects.

Every month’s salary includes “performance pay,” but there are no standards for evaluating performance—it is entirely based on the boss’s personal judgment and mood. As a result, there is a certain margin of error in the salary every month. This was never mentioned during the interview, so receiving the salary felt like being completely deceived.
The boss spent some time in China before returning to Taiwan to establish the company. The company uses a Chinese factory-style management approach, so anyone who wants to experience this kind of culture can give it a try.
The actual job duties were basically not much different from what was discussed during the interview. However, it was impossible to talk with colleagues during working hours, because whenever the boss heard someone talking, that person would be asked to “help” with tasks unrelated to their professional skills.
The factory and office are located separately at two different places within the same industrial park, in different buildings. However, you had to be careful about what you said during work, because I once “dreamed” that both the office and factory had monitoring systems, leaving no privacy at all. Keywords I mentioned to colleagues in the morning would be mysteriously brought up by the boss during an afternoon meeting.
The official schedule is a two-day weekend, but whether you are on vacation, off work, taking leave, or even on sick leave, you are still required to respond online to customers’ questions. Regardless of the type of leave you take—or even after work—the boss will send messages to “assign” work tasks.
Oh, right! I also “dreamed” that another company, Shou X Co., Ltd., and X Chi Enterprise, were run by the same person. Job seekers should exercise caution, and newcomers should be especially careful. You will not learn professional skills here; if you have better options, I recommend going to another company. However, if you want to develop godlike adaptability and patience, you can come here.
A China-founded, China-managed company where you can experience Chinese corporate culture without going abroad.
All work is based on taking full responsibility, giving you a strong sense of mission. You will be exposed to every kind of work, expected and unexpected, guaranteeing that you become an all-around employee.
If you lack direction or need income while changing jobs, it is a good way station—but do not stay too long.
The company’s benefits are not guaranteed by the boss; they are given at the boss’s discretion, performance standards are nonexistent, and salaries are routinely paid late.
Factory-style management: you cannot talk at work, and every trending topic must be leveraged for exposure, regardless of whether it is positive or sensitive.
After you start working, please forget every promise or topic discussed before the interview, because the boss will continually use meetings as an excuse to reminisce about the past and communicate “concepts” to you. The truth behind everything said during the interview will be revealed in those meetings.
