Company policy requires more than 30 hours of overtime every month. It varies by department, but overtime pay is provided. Even when there is no business to handle, employees are still expected to cooperate with overtime. The internal culture is very closed-off and the environment is extremely Japanese-style. You need to learn how to flatter people, and remember to laugh at your supervisors’ corny jokes.
If your overtime hours are insufficient, you will be highlighted. I was also warned that if I wanted to stay longer, it would be best to work more overtime.
Work starts at 7:30 a.m., and the scheduled end time is 4:10 p.m., but working until 6 or 7 p.m. is the norm. You cannot choose how many days to work overtime; just cooperate with your department and do not try to stand out.
The pay is not bad, but you need to know how to look busy. The lunch break is only 40 minutes.
If you are willing to be very subservient, you can stay. Bachelor’s degree holders start at around NT$36K–37K, while master’s degree holders start at around NT$42K. Annual compensation is equivalent to 14–20 months of salary, depending on performance.
