Workplace reviews and discussion: 台灣康寧顯示玻璃股份有限公司 外商南科中科

1. A well-known foreign company, which is very helpful when changing jobs.

2. The salary is considered quite good for Taichung; the annual salary for a new contract engineer is approximately NT$830,000–850,000.

3. Good benefits; all three meals can be eaten at the company.

4. The work is challenging, and you can work with engineers from different countries.

5. The managers and colleagues generally have strong academic backgrounds. Most graduated from National Taiwan University, National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University, or National Cheng Kung University, and some even returned from overseas schools. Interacting with them can broaden your horizons.

1. Except for overseas returnees, most people in Taiwan are only offered contract positions. Contract employees are employed through staffing agencies, receive no overtime pay, and receive no travel allowance for business trips.

2. The reason there is no travel allowance is that the company’s policy only provides payment for long-term business trips (at least two weeks). However, some projects have employees return to Taiwan once every two weeks to avoid paying the business-trip allowance.

3. Long working hours and a high-pressure work environment. Since the work is essentially still related to production lines, working overtime until 9 or 10 p.m. can be considered the norm, and employees are also often required to be on call on Saturdays.

4. The company’s focus has gradually been shifting toward mainland China recently, so working away from home is likely to become the trend in the future.
