Read the community guidelinesThe work environment is pretty good. As the senior colleague said, everyone has their own cubicle where they can keep their personal belongings.
Lunch is ordered for delivery as a group, and the company pays for it.
The company uses licensed software. Every engineer has a Visual Studio Enterprise subscription, so there’s no need to look for free or cracked versions.
In addition to packaged software, you may also participate in project development. The projects are all for high-tech or financial industry clients, so you can learn a lot.
As for the salary, it’s pretty good for Kaohsiung, and working hours are regular.
The air conditioning is too cold, and the lunch break is too long.
It’s a small company, so there are no stock options or profit sharing—only a year-end bonus.
The first stage was a conversation with an HR representative, which I suppose was meant to ease the atmosphere. She mainly asked about things on my résumé. The HR representative was very polite and lovely; at first, I thought they had just sent a junior employee to deal with applicants.
The second stage was the final-boss stage, so to speak. Before the interview, I had heard that it was difficult to get into Yi Fei Information. Only after taking the actual test did I realize how difficult it really was. The test was worth 250 points, with 60 required to pass, and I still failed. However, after the test, the interviewer explained each question to me one by one, including why it was included, and even when I got an answer wrong, asked me why I had written it that way. This was the most serious and thorough interviewer I have ever encountered.
After the interview, they even gave me a Scrum book and a Starbucks coffee voucher, which showed considerable sincerity.
The interview took too long, and I felt embarrassed about going to the restroom midway through, so I recommend drinking less water before the interview.
The test took place in a conference room with poor soundproofing, so I could hear music and conversations from outside.
Small company with a good working atmosphere. The boss is also a technical person, rarely micromanages, and is satisfied as long as the work gets done. Lunch and snacks are provided by the company. Most importantly, you can leave work on time, and you don't have to worry about being woken up by phone calls in the middle of the night.
New hires are initially asked to localize packaged software. This is a source of passive income for the company, as well as a way for newcomers to hone their skills. Only experienced employees can participate in project development and receive project bonuses, which amount to 10% of the project fee.
Although the company is small, the boss is highly capable and can win projects from major corporations and financial institutions.
If you enjoy working with technology, this could be a good place for you. On the surface, it is a packaged-software company, but it uses many of the latest technologies.
The company is small and has been around for more than 20 years, so the office environment is somewhat dated and uses traditional OA partitions.
The pay is not high. New graduates with no experience start at 35K, and only those with relevant work experience may be able to earn more than 40K. Project bonuses are only available to people who participate in the project, and everyone splits that 10%. Not recommended for those under financial pressure.
