Normal working hours
Having worked at this company, I can tell you it is like a direct-sales company, and also very much like a traditional-industry company. They constantly brainwash employees about how great the company is and how excellent the benefits are, but in reality, the benefits are nearly nonexistent. The three major holiday bonuses are only worth around a hundred dollars. As I recall, there were also times when they only gave gift boxes—and the size of the gift box depended on your position!!!
The year-end bonus was once a flat NT$3,600. The boss said the company had not lost money, and that only traditional-industry factories give year-end bonuses. It felt really strange—an excuse to deceive fresh graduates, perhaps. They say that since the company gives bonuses every month, that is already very good, but then they only give a small red envelope for the New Year. Yet the bonuses are either NT$0 or a few hundred dollars—what is this supposed to be~ It is really embarrassing to be asked about it by relatives during the New Year. Also, whether you have worked there for one year or nearly two years, the year-end bonus is still NT$3,600.
The only advantage is that you can leave work at a normal time. If you do not mind the salary, benefits, or career prospects, you can consider going for an interview and see how it feels.
The company is very new and clean, and the manager is fairly attractive.
The initial notification did not mention that there would be a first interview and a three-day, full-day second interview. Before the interview, we also had to watch a segment supposedly featuring “senior colleagues” sharing their experiences of participating in the second interview. It was nothing more than a direct-selling-style advertisement about how great the company was, how friendly the manager was, and how they wanted to change themselves.
The first round consisted of a written test and an individual interview. The written questions were very simple. During the interview, the manager said that what they needed were immediately effective employees with extensive experience. The problem is that their starting salary is at most NT$27,000; even with the NT$1,500 perfect-attendance bonus, it is still too low to attract experienced talent.
The biggest problem was the second interview after passing the first round. It required full-day participation for three days, which felt very much like a three-day trial period, but there was no pay—only a small transportation allowance.
Also, although I applied for a design assistant position, the job was not in the design department but in the sales department, where I would have to meet performance targets.
It’s steady work, and it’s reasonably manageable.
The company’s overall atmosphere is conservative, and its values are somewhat reminiscent of a traditional direct-sales company. Employees are expected to participate in consensus camps (the kind where people chant motivational slogans).
Throughout the interview process, it was apparent that they were looking for someone who could hit the ground running.
The HR department was slow to provide updates and did not notify me within the agreed-upon timeframe, which made them seem insufficiently proactive.
