Workplace reviews and discussion: 叡揚資訊股份有限公司

This company is basically stable, after all, most of its clients are government departments. However, its outdated management mindset holds back young people, making it difficult to advance, and it is not flexible enough either (you only get the salary corresponding to the position you take on). Even if you take on more work, it is seen as proof of your ability, but it still has nothing to do with your salary. The low salary issue has already been widely discussed within this company, but I think the software development department is a good training ground for young people. Still, after staying for about two or three years, you should more or less move on.

As for the sales department, all I can say is: don’t consider it. If you work in the same industry, you’ll find that the caliber of people coming from company 655 is getting worse and worse. They don’t even research their products properly, and many salespeople may be inexperienced hires brought in to reduce personnel costs (or perhaps the salary simply cannot attract experienced candidates).

The engineering department has the same problem. Most new hires are people doing alternative service in lieu of mandatory military service. I think the development department is OK, since it is a support unit, but for product or information security roles, when pushing these efforts to the customer-facing side, they do not provide adequate technical or “communication” training. It makes people suspect that they are acting as agents for these products only for short-term gain.

Many departing employees include quite a few experienced people (some may have worked at the company for 5–10 years). They left after becoming disheartened. In fact, everyone used to feel a strong sense of belonging to this company. It may have been small, but it had a warm, personal atmosphere. However, things have gradually changed, especially now—even “managers” make unwarranted negative comments about former employees simply because they left.

That’s all I have to say.

If you’re a recent graduate, think carefully about some departments. For others, it’s not a bad place to gain experience.
