This place is actually quite good; it isn’t as serious as described online.

I used to work at this company. For newcomers just entering the workforce, it is worth considering. As long as you are willing to work hard, work three shifts, and work overtime, earning NT$40,000–50,000 per month is not a problem. The year-end bonus basically reaches the industry standard. If you work in R&D, the salary is also very generous. Daye also received the Ministry of the Interior’s National Conscription Agency award for being an outstanding employer under the Alternative Service R&D Substitute Service program in Years 99, 101, 103, and 104. Speaking from experience, HIWIN is a traditional manufacturing company! For a traditional manufacturing company, it is considered pretty good...

If you want better benefits, a technology company would be a better choice!

Advantages

1. Childcare allowance for two years

2. A friendly workplace; healthy Daye

3. Operating profit sharing

4. Year-end bonus, professional bonus, and shift allowance (better than the industry standard)

5. Patent bonuses, project bonuses, and product sales bonuses

6. Domestic and overseas trade-show visits and exhibitions (overseas trade-show visits require signing a contract with the company and serving for six months to one year; in the event of a breach, the amount must be repaid proportionally)

7. Salaries higher than the industry standard

8. If you work overtime until 7:00 p.m., you can receive free food (2 steamed buns or 2 pan-fried buns or 1 millet cake)

9. If you work overtime until 8:00 p.m., you can order a free boxed meal

10. Bonuses for the three major festivals—gift vouchers

11. Birthday gift—gift voucher

12. Employee movie sessions

13. A comprehensive promotion system

14. Professional training courses are arranged on weekdays, with instructors from the industry hired to teach

Disadvantages

1. A monthly all-hands meeting is held. Employees must clock in and assemble at 08:08; those who are late are fined NT$200.

2. The scheduled start time is 08:30, but employees must clock in at 08:20 to do the exercise routine; arriving later is considered tardy.

4. Employees must lead the exercise routine in rotation. Afterward, everyone must assemble at attention and chant: “Professional standards; enthusiasm for work; professional ethics.”

5. There are six Knowledge Growth Days per year (classes on Saturdays). They can be scheduled independently; in principle, completing all six is sufficient.

9. New employees must be mobilized to travel north to attend the master’s thesis award ceremony (NT$100 meal allowance) (held once a year, twice in total; leave may be requested) (Saturday)
