Close to the MRT

The interview environment was terrible—a very messy meeting room. You have to fill out a bunch of information and also take an intelligence test???

The company has a very high turnover rate, and even the most senior interviewer has only been there for a little over a year....

They don't purchase equipment, and there is a consultant who really likes to interfere with IT operations.

In short, there are better options!

Very concerned about the results of the DISC personality assessment

Even if they meet the personality criteria,

why are staff turnover and the resignation rate so high?

1. Mistaking “personality fit” for “value alignment”

• Employee resignations are usually related to the following factors:

• Lack of a sense of achievement / room for development

• Poor management style from supervisors (e.g., disrespectful or overly controlling)

• High work pressure or disorganized systems

• Long working hours / low salaries / lack of security

⚠️ Even if the personality “matches,”

people may still leave after discovering a cultural mismatch.

2. Test results can be affected by impression management (Social Desirability Bias)

• Most job seekers know they should “appear cooperative, proactive, and responsible,” so the results they provide may not be genuine.

• This causes companies to place too much trust in the assessment while overlooking cross-validation with actual interview observations and résumé experience.

3. No effective onboarding and relationship management mechanisms

• A lack of onboarding training, career development planning, and support from supervisors can quickly make new employees feel alienated and disappointed.

• No matter how good the personality fit is, talent cannot be retained if the management style is harsh and there are no communication channels.

4. The company culture and systems themselves have problems

• High turnover is often the combined result of overall systems, processes, and culture, and cannot be attributed entirely to “selection.”

After the boss signed the vendor quotation, he asked whether you had a budget to carry it out (the company did not even have a budgeting system). Two months after you left the company, Finance asked when payment was due for the order (which had never actually been placed).

They said they were going public, but there were no internal-control documents at all. The consultants they hired were about on the same level as the people guarding the entrance. There has been no follow-up since.

When it is time to eat, you have meetings with the boss and get full just listening to him rant while eating. It saves you a meal.

The company has a manager surnamed Yang who often calls you into meetings while he is eating—whether rice or noodles. The only downside is that they do not provide us with tissues to wipe our faces.

The company has someone who calls himself the CFO (assigned by a company in which another company holds a stake). He does not understand anything, and his eyes even look as though he has had a stroke. All day long, he says that other people are incompetent and far too poor. Even the senior finance manager (with more than five years of experience) left in 2023.

1. HR asked about my understanding of the two channels they operate, what products I had purchased (in great detail), where I had bought them, and so on. It felt more like a consumer survey.

2. There were two interviewers in total: one HR representative and one manager.

1. Although I arrived on time, I still had to wait about 20–30 minutes. The situation was also rather chaotic. It was not a group interview, but all the interviewees ended up crowded together, while HR was overwhelmed.

2. The office was extremely cramped, like a high school cram school during exam preparation. It felt as though there was no room left, with many people squeezed together. They said they were expanding and hiring many people, but they should probably find a new office first.

3. The manager was unfriendly during the interview. One could perhaps assume that the interviewer's attitude was part of the test for candidates, or that they were in a hurry to get to the next appointment. The manager asked whether I had any questions, but when I actually asked questions, they refused to answer directly and kept going in circles. They said they wanted someone with experience, yet without listening to me explain the details of my experience, they immediately belittled the relevant experience. I really couldn't understand it and personally found it extremely strange.

4. The biggest issue: The manager said there would be a second-round interview in a few weeks, but did not disclose the salary range.

Here's what happened: HR accidentally let slip that the salary for this position was not as high as my current salary, and that there was a fairly large difference (my current salary is NT$40,000). The listing on 104 stated that the salary was negotiable; logically, the salary should be higher than NT$40,000 for it to be listed as negotiable.

When it was the manager's turn to speak, I asked about the salary range again, but the manager would not even tell the candidate the range, saying that it would only be known after the second interview. (Then what is the point of having a second interview? It's simply a waste of time... I really felt that taking leave to attend the interview was a huge loss.)

Located between two stations; it only takes a five-minute walk to get there.

HR interview. Once I arrived, I first introduced myself.

The HR interviewer asked some questions,

for example, whether I had ever visited one of our counters, which one, and what I thought of it.

If you have used any of the products, remember the brand and the scent/flavor (the HR interviewer will ask in detail).

They also asked about things I found rewarding and frustrating in my previous work experience, among other things.

The most memorable question was about my views on AI today.

The company seems to place a lot of importance on personal traits.

There was a question about this when filling out their application form,

and they asked it again during the interview.

Maybe they are looking for people with certain traits?!
