Read the community guidelinesThe interview included a few story-based scenarios, asking you to imagine how you would respond if you were the person involved. I’ve forgotten what exactly was discussed at the time, but the interviewer gave fairly clear advice and encouragement.
The boss is quite impressive, but I think it’s best to respond naturally and show your true self. Being genuine is more important.
Taipei 101 really is like a maze. Going from the escalators to the elevators made me dizzy, so it’s better to arrive early.
Just wants to use small comforts to keep employees tied down.
※ A word of advice to anyone considering joining: Don’t focus only on the present. Think about what skills you’ll need to make money 10 years from now. ※
1. The turnover rate is extremely high; someone leaves roughly every year.
2. People with genuine work experience would not choose this place, because there is no room for development here.
3. Incompetent leaders wear out the entire team.
4. In addition to the usual working hours, you also have to accommodate the boss’s schedule, so the hours are extremely long.
5. If you want to learn marketing, remember not to come here—go to a proper advertising agency.
6. Never try to out-logic the boss; just agree with whatever they say. (At least you’ll be happy that way.)
7. The company’s organizational ability is extremely poor, and there is no relevant talent. (Even if there were, they wouldn’t come here.)
8. The boss especially likes hiring odd people, so congratulations to anyone who wasn’t hired—you’re at least definitely competitive enough at other companies.
None
The boss’s eyes are red, which scared me.
The boss has a very arrogant attitude, which made me feel awkward.
The company is very strong in terms of business capabilities. When I did my homework and looked into the company’s background, I found that it is particularly strong in project marketing, and its sales figures are quite impressive.
I saw that many people before criticized the interviewer and boss for having an attitude problem. I’m not sure whether things have improved or what, but personally, I didn’t feel there was a problem, and the conversation was fairly pleasant. Maybe I was just on the same wavelength as him.
The job sounded really difficult. The salary and benefits were quite good, but I didn’t get the position anyway==
The company is really disorganized, but according to what the boss said, they are currently moving to another floor in Taipei 101. Being able to expand the team should mean things aren’t too bad, but the mess in the entrance lobby really does make a poor first impression on interviewees.
It felt like the workload would be intense, but since I wasn’t hired, I can’t really say specifically how intense it is.
I didn’t see any.
The office was full of cardboard boxes and clutter everywhere, a complete mess.
The interviewer was the boss. He spoke arrogantly and was lacking in courtesy. The questions he asked were often contradictory, and his tone frequently conveyed impatience. It was a very unpleasant interview experience—no wonder they have been recruiting for years.
The salary is higher than that of other companies in the same industry, and there are occasional group dining events.
The company has no established systems; things are done arbitrarily.
Salaries are often paid one or two days late.
Frequently requires unreasonable overtime.
N/A
A ridiculous company that sends interview notifications but doesn’t respond.
The pay is very generous.
Overtime is paid.
There are annual leave, sick leave, and personal leave.
The manager is a pretty good person, but loses their temper very easily (they lash out and scold people at the slightest thing).
The colleagues are all nice.
The workload is heavy, and there is overtime almost every day (officially, the workday ends at 6 p.m., but leaving between 7 and 11 p.m. is possible); staff are also scheduled to work on holidays to reply to messages.
The owner’s parents are extremely unpleasant (especially the mother).
The products are from mainland Chinese brands and manufactured in mainland China. The quality is really not OK, resulting in a large number of customer complaints.
When asking the head office questions, it takes a very long time to receive a response (at least 2–3 days, or there is no response at all), so messages are easily missed.
The job requires using Chinese apps, raising concerns that data may be stolen by the Chinese government.
At the Zhongli office, it is very inconvenient to go out during lunch or when arriving at or leaving work; someone inside the office or the owner’s parents must open the door.
The manager was quite nice, and the interview went pretty well.
But here’s the important part: anyone thinking of applying should think twice.
The 30K salary listed in the job posting is basically just for show.
The boss’s “girlfriend,” Ms. Liao, tried every possible way to cut your salary.
The interview had gone pleasantly, and I was waiting to hear back.
That evening, I immediately received a call from the boss’s “girlfriend,” Ms. Liao.
As soon as I picked up, her attitude made me feel disrespected.
She was extremely rude and arrogant.
She kept using the salary from my previous job to humiliate me and compare it with theirs, repeatedly saying, “Our company gives two months’ year-end bonus, you know” (so what?)—basically implying, “How dare you ask for this salary?”
But please get this straight: you’re the one who listed 30K in the job posting. If you’re unwilling to offer it, don’t write it so confidently! Speechless.
I didn’t even name a salary during the interview, and I thought the salary listed in the job posting was fine, so I was willing to accept all the job duties.
That phone call left me completely speechless, and I had no idea what kind of act she was putting on.
Besides, if the compensation at my previous job was already good, why would I leave to apply to an unknown e-commerce company like yours? Obviously, I’m looking for better compensation! Is that wrong? And I want to emphasize again that I never asked them to raise the salary any further.
She was also incredibly rude, saying, “I’m offering you a salary you’ll be satisfied with. Can you guarantee that you’ll definitely deliver work performance I’ll be satisfied with? Do you understand the job duties? Are you sure you can handle them?”
I was originally confident, and I thought taking work seriously was simply expected. But after she acted like that, I immediately blacklisted the company. I doubt things would be any better if I joined; they clearly have no respect for people. No wonder the position has been open forever, haha.
I won’t say much about the job duties, but the role also involves moving goods and repairing machines.
I advise anyone considering applying to think it over carefully.
An absolutely terrible interview experience.
The boss’s “girlfriend,” Ms. Liao, should really learn some basic etiquette, or she’ll cause trouble sooner or later, haha.
