Workplace reviews and discussion: 中鼎工程股份有限公司

CTCI follows Taiwan’s Labor Standards Act in every respect, something that more than 90% of companies in Taiwan fail to do, and this is worthy of praise. However, its salary levels are not as competitive as those at TSMC or MediaTek, so most employees who want to earn more money or advance quickly will take overseas assignments. It is also a highly internationalized company.

Most of the company’s management has worked its way up from entry-level positions, so there are relatively few of the parachuted-in, incompetent managers commonly found at large companies who have no understanding of the hardships faced by frontline employees.

Most people are very busy. You can hardly find the kind of employees commonly seen in state-owned enterprises who spend all day drinking tea, chatting, and reading newspapers, so the company is relatively lean and efficient.
