Workplace reviews and discussion: 旺矽科技股份有限公司

The company benefits are not bad: a 25,000 travel allowance, plus all three meals provided and a housing allowance.

The starting salary is low, and work assignments are poorly handled, with multiple chains of command—you never know whose instructions to follow.

I clearly applied to be an RF engineer, but after joining, I was assigned to the Manufacturing Department. Sometimes I was treated as a PE, and other times as a test engineer. The department head is someone who does not communicate with subordinates at all and prioritizes their own opinions. The engineers below can only follow orders, and when something goes wrong, the blame is pushed onto them, with the claim that the report was unclear and that they must bear responsibility. The supervisor has an extremely inflated sense of self, creating a distorted culture in which unit members like to pressure newcomers into treating them to meals, manufacturing the illusion that R&D employees earn very high incomes and causing manufacturing staff to repeatedly expect newcomers to pay for them. The supervisor takes the high-speed rail back to Taoyuan at 5:30 every day and does not care about the workload or mental well-being of the R&D staff below.
