Workplace reviews and discussion: Advantech_研華股份有限公司

A highly profitable yet extremely stingy company. Their attitude toward benefits is basically that you should be grateful to get anything at all. There is only a guaranteed 13 months of salary; even if you work yourself to the bone, it might only reach 15–16 months.

The equipment in the Neihu office area is so old and shabby that it looks like it was picked up off the street. Don’t be fooled by the first floor and basement. They really like holding meetings on holidays, and everyone has to squeeze into the headquarters basement for meetings. When there’s absolutely no room, they split people into different video conferences. Some people even have to sit outside the door. Is it really necessary to cut costs this much?

The boss only likes to hear good things, so it’s difficult for the voices of frontline employees to be heard.

The boss of one department has very obvious favorites. The favored employees get promoted year after year while everyone else can only watch helplessly from the sidelines. Decisions are made based on mood and are completely unprofessional.

The working hours are not as normal as outsiders might think. There are still people working overtime at 8 or 9 p.m.
