The Nanke plant is close to home for people from southern Taiwan.
Overall, the company culture is relatively dull. Everyone seems very lean and serious, but some people pretend to be serious to make a good impression and ensure that their performance rating stays at least at C, allowing them to receive a performance bonus.
Performance ratings are divided into five levels: A, B, C, D, and E. 70% of employees receive a C.
It has the mindset of a traditional manufacturing company, believing that working overtime and staying late demonstrate passion. Even if your work is not particularly good, you can still get a C.
People who do good work but keep regular hours can receive, at best, a C–D rating, because you do not work overtime! You have no passion! Compared with people who work overtime, your impression score is lower. This is very frustrating.
The Tainan HR representative is a middle-aged woman who does not seem very fulfilled in life. Her tone is sometimes quite impatient. She may cut the salary you request, then use a guaranteed annual salary of 14+2 months to attract you, making you think the annual salary is good. However, to receive those two months of bonuses, you may have to work unpaid overtime to earn a good impression score. Overall, the cost-performance ratio is not high, and your quality of life will decline.
I have heard of some engineers who worked for 10 years and received only a 1,500 increase in salary, with only 500 added each time. Very stingy.
