Workplace reviews and discussion: 欣興電子股份有限公司

The company has many plants, and the culture and management are genuinely different at each one. Some are very lean, while others are very old-school PCB.

Overall, the plants whose names start with S are more worth considering.

The company calls itself a department store for the PCB industry, with every kind of product line—it's just that they are distributed across different plants. As a result, some plants produce products that are not profitable, so the benefits and year-end bonuses are terrible, while plants making profitable products have astonishing benefits and year-end bonuses. For example, one year, the grand prizes at the year-end parties of Plant H and Plant S differed by two scooters versus two cars. The difference was enormous.

The boss is considered keen on innovation in terms of the management system. If you cannot get into a first-rate system manufacturer or design house, this company is worth coming to observe and learn from. It falls short compared with the best, but is still far better than many companies below it. Personally, I even rate this company higher than hTC.

In addition, this company is basically better to its operators than to its engineers. However, if you endure long enough to get your turn in line, an engineer's salary and bonuses will still vastly exceed those of an operator. The mental pressure and time required may simply not be proportional to the compensation.

This is a company that falls short of the best but is far better than most alternatives. Although the bread coupons are genuinely something to complain about, it is not a completely worthless or terrible company.
