The colleagues are fine, but the company is absolutely not.

If you see this company reaching out to you, there’s only one word: “Run.”

The CEO of this company clearly has issues. If they hear an answer they don’t want, they bellow loudly and show absolutely no respect for people. During meetings, they keep talking about “the damn Labor Standards Act of the Republic of China,” or use personally insulting language. The COO is just a mouthpiece who keeps their hands clean, avoids responsibility, and refuses to shoulder any responsibility. If these two don’t get their way, they resort to threats at the drop of a hat. It’s a ridiculous company that shows very little respect for people and refuses to listen, while thinking it has all the professional expertise. Highly not recommended—no, you absolutely should not come here. Don’t even come for an interview. You’ll even get lectured for leaving work on time.

Most colleagues are highly capable, get things done, and are normal, reasonable people.

Everything else. If you’re considering joining this company for even a second, all I can say is: RUN!

The internal power struggles are relentless, involving everyone from the COO and the director of the aesthetic medicine clinic to the CEO and the board of directors. Employees are treated like dogs. The CEO screams at people for leaving work on time, while staying until 7 or 8 p.m. is considered a sign of loyalty to the company—with no overtime pay!

The CEO is unprofessional and acts on whatever whim comes to mind. The clinic director flaunts their status as a shareholder and has no respect for professional expertise. Add a COO who panders to both of them, and the entire company feels like an outrageously melodramatic soap opera. Employees spend every day feeling like abused children, constantly anxious and afraid of upsetting the CEO or being targeted for no apparent reason.

Turnover is extremely high. Anyone who lasts more than six months either has an exceptionally high tolerance for stress or is far too willing to accept being mistreated.

The CEO constantly complains about how difficult Taiwanese workers are to manage. Honestly, if Taiwanese workers weren’t so willing to endure hardship, his leadership style would have gotten him sued long ago in another country.

This is the worst workplace, EVER!!!

The HR person is normal. Other than that, nothing.

The CEO is mentally ill! (He said so himself.) Don’t waste your time interviewing!!!

I agree with what the others said—the CEO really has serious problems.

As soon as I arrived, he said he has a mental illness and would swear. I suggest he learn about the newly revised anti-bullying regulations.

Moreover, he was extremely disrespectful from beginning to end and very arrogant. He was dressed very casually in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, and his appearance was nothing special, yet he criticized other people.

He also mentioned that the working hours are long and the pressure would be very high. Could I accept that?

I replied that it would not be a problem if the compensation were commensurate.

He responded that he thought I was a blank slate and not a senior HR professional, so he could not offer NT$50,000. Why waste time inviting me to an interview in the first place?

I replied that my previous companies had offered that amount, and he asked why I had resigned.

(Leaving a job isn’t only about salary, is it?)

Then he said that if I had no questions for him, the interview was over. Judging by how afraid he seemed of me, I consider it an accomplishment that I didn’t lose my temper and argue with him on the spot.

It seems he thinks that having money gives him the right to insult people and act crazy. The key point is that he can’t even offer much money. What a joke.

Other than that, HR is normal and there are no particular problems.

There is a strange altar with deities from a non-mainstream religion next to the office. Before the interview, you have to fill out very traditional paper forms asking a whole bunch of questions, as well as a personality test.

The 1 point is for HR, BTW.

The interview took place in a residential building. It felt like a very cramped, tiny office space. The supervisor at the first stage was fairly polite, mainly asking about my past work experience and having me share my portfolio, primarily to confirm my project capabilities! The second stage was the main event: the company owner. Just as you would find through a Google search, he had an extremely strong gangster-brother aura. There was also a very strange altar in the office. I’m not being superstitious, but usually someone would have to be spiritually sensitive to place an altar in an office that was already so small!!! Sure enough, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he launched into an earth-shaking, extremely rude tirade of nonsense. In the end, the only thing I heard was, “Can you accept this?” I merely nodded slightly! After that, he began asking questions in a very low-level manner, acting like, “I’m the big shot paying the money. You damn people taking my money are here to provide solutions!!!!” He even flew into a rage and shouted, “I want to make a profit immediately!” He was extremely neurotic!!! I reluctantly said one or two sentences, and he immediately began shouting that I was wasting his time!!!! He became so completely unhinged that I........ I only wanted to say, “Get the hell out of here.” A boss who makes things difficult for people in every possible way during an interview will never lead to a good outcome if you join the company! This is the conclusion from my life experience~ Anyway, the other party also seemed to dislike me, so the interview ended hastily!!!

I wasted two hours going to meet someone who was extremely rude, unreasonable, and disrespectful of professional expertise. Even the 40-dollar transportation fare was wasted on a company and a person like this~~ I advise all normal people: unless you are in debt or owed them something in a past life, under no circumstances should you think you will be the lucky exception!!!!!

Absolutely do not spend time interviewing

And absolutely do not spend time joining the company

Anyone would regret it

By the way~~ his way of asking questions was unbelievably amateurish!!! It was obvious he was a complete layperson!!! This business will only make money in the afterlife

The company is currently in a development stage, and the person in charge has several business initiatives underway, with potential for cross-industry growth in the future.

The interview process was smooth, and the manager first clearly introduced the department’s current situation and future plans.

If working hours change or leave arrangements need to be adjusted, the manager stated that overtime pay would be provided in accordance with the Labor Standards Act.

The department has a lean staff, which may provide greater room for people who enjoy exercising autonomy and are able to take on more responsibilities during the early stages.

The office is located in a mixed-use residential and commercial building and has been converted from a residence. The overall space is relatively small, seating is somewhat cramped, and there is limited privacy.

The department currently has limited staffing, and its training system is not yet well established. New employees need to have a strong ability to learn independently.

The person in charge communicates in a relatively direct manner. During the interview, they clearly stated that their tone might be stern and their style assertive, so applicants need to judge for themselves whether they can adapt.

The leave system does not necessarily provide a fixed two-day weekend each week and may need to be adjusted according to operational needs. This may not suit job seekers who want a stable leave schedule.
