Workplace reviews and discussion: 參聯國際股份有限公司

The company’s benefits basically follow the law—neither good nor bad. The company provides lunch, which is quite decent. The location is remote; it takes at least five minutes of driving at full speed to reach the nearest convenience store. The internal culture is traditional, and many people have been here for more than 10 years. The current general manager has extensive experience, but the department heads lack the necessary capability and have an overly narrow perspective. They suppress capable people below them and even reprimand employees from other departments across departmental boundaries. If you want career development, don’t choose this place. If you just want to earn a paycheck, you can stay. However, it is unclear when the president might shut down the Taiwan operation. He constantly compares the China factories with Taiwan, often makes many wrong decisions, yet the department heads do not dare say a word. Although there are more opportunities to work with competitive factories, they choose factories with no price advantage and poor capabilities instead. Over the past two years, all the capable people in the entire group have left, including a senior brand manager, two regional marketing managers, one sales manager, three project managers, and two project engineers. All that remain are a bunch of frogs in a well, fighting among themselves while feeling good about themselves.
