Workplace reviews and discussion: 香港商瑞健股份有限公司台灣分公司

A salary increase every year—稳稳 “2%” (unless you’re good at flattering, acting, or have connections)

You won’t have to worry about not getting shifts, and overtime pay is always provided, but don’t expect much.

The medical industry has good profits and isn’t likely to go under, making it suitable for people without ambitions who want to stay long-term and coast toward retirement.

The more you bluff about your expertise during the interview, the better. If the supervisor believes you, your salary will be higher.

Foreign exterior, but fundamentally Taiwanese.

The company’s internal environment has already been ruined by incompetent Taiwanese managers. Many upper-level positions are filled by parachuted hires from outside; they have no technical skills or expertise, yet their starting salaries are higher than those of senior employees.

They are excellent at pushing out competent people. Those who know how to curry favor, cling to influential people, and put on an act have the best prospects. Ideally, make sure the supervisor sees everything you do so you can leave a good impression and get a raise.

Starting at 4–5% and up, they are excellent at deducting money under all kinds of pretexts. Make a mistake in a report and 500 is deducted. Take too much annual leave and another 500 is deducted. They deduct until there’s no 2,000 bonus left, starting with the three year-end bonus installments... If you end up with a good supervisor and have connections, you can comfortably coast and spend your days doing little. If you end up with a clueless supervisor and no connections, leave as soon as possible. When you re-enter the workforce, your salary might well be better and higher than what you’re getting under your current supervisor....

A technician who knows how to do everything gets 30K, while someone who knows nothing is hired at 29K. The salary approval standards are truly bizarre.......

They discuss 28K during the interview, then put you on a 25K probationary salary to learn each process (to put it bluntly, they throw you onto the production line as a technician). Before leaving, you ask to return to the original position, but they say you were hired at 25K (What happened to the promised 28K!!??). How can they say 25K after you’ve learned everything?

Conclusion: Before joining, even if it’s fake, you have to make yourself look as professional and capable as possible to the interviewer.

There are plenty of people who, after joining, are worse than even the technicians yet earn more than others.

Plenty of them don’t even blush about it. Many people have job titles that only look good on paper—just take them at face value.

If you want stability, don’t look for technician roles. The base salary is low; even after working for 10 years, it may not be higher than someone else’s starting salary.

28 or 29K is higher.
