Workplace reviews and discussion: 輝能科技股份有限公司

Everyone here is putting on an act: engineers perform for managers, managers perform for the老板, and the老板 performs for investors.

New hires who are not perceptive enough to cooperate with the charade are ostracized—not to mention the culture of veteran employees keeping their eyes open while calling black white, taking credit, and so on.

The assistants here have to help organize electrical DATA. Why? Because the engineers cannot do it. The engineers casually bring in a vocational high school graduate as an assistant technician and promote them. Why do they get promoted? Because all the engineers left in 2015.

The worst situation is when an entire department leaves. You are expected to make good products using machines with design flaws? Change the design? Find someone to take responsibility? Impossible—when everyone has left, who is there to take responsibility?

In addition, this company has very big ambitions: positive and negative electrode materials, assembly, and modules—all handled in one integrated operation. The problem is that there are only a handful of engineers, yet they are expected to handle everything. When you first join, you may think there are many engineers, but in reality, the lithium battery industry is divided into upstream positive- and negative-electrode material manufacturers, midstream battery-cell assembly, and downstream battery modules. To cover the entire chain, there simply are not enough engineers.

The problem is that they arrogantly believe their products are original and that experience from outside is not applicable. Then they find manufacturers to build the equipment themselves. Check the manufacturers: some are sheet-metal workshops assembling machines, while others are recognizable manufacturers that have never made roll-to-roll process equipment. Then defect after defect, and they crash the machines whenever nothing else is happening... You are expected to produce good products with machines whose designs cannot be changed, and find someone to take responsibility???? Everyone left in 2015; I will not go into more details.

As for the operators, it is even worse. Most are hired on temporary contracts and laid off when there are no orders. Operators often quit right after they have just been trained, while engineers with more than a year at the company are considered veterans.

I sincerely recommend not coming to interview here, because it is a waste of time. I have seen people in the HR department working overtime until after 10 p.m.... This company has no real intention of making products. Normal people all quit within a year. It may truly have had prospects in the past, but after the wave of resignations in 2015, the people who remained are all _______________. Its prospects are long gone.
