Workplace reviews and discussion: 中鼎工程股份有限公司

I work as an engineer in the Civil Engineering and Construction Division (but not in the Structural Engineering Group).

This is my first job, and I have been here for less than four months.

So far, I haven't had to work overtime.

I think CTCI is a pretty good starting point for a fresh master's graduate in civil engineering.

The training system is well established, and there are mentors within the department whom you can ask for help.

As for the salary, the base salary is NT$40,200 plus a NT$2,400 meal allowance, which is considered high compared with small consulting firms.

In addition, after completing the three-month probationary period as a full-time employee, you can consider joining the employee stock ownership association.

Each month, it automatically uses an amount equal to 1.5 times 5%, 10%, or 15% of your salary (your choice) to purchase company stock.

(In other words, you can buy company stock at a 33.3% discount.)

A classmate from graduate school joined the company a few months after I did.

Shortly after arriving, they were assigned to put out fires by doing quantity calculations.

They have to work two additional fixed hours every day (7:30–18:30).

I heard they have to do this for three months, which is a bit puzzling.

As for my own situation, I honestly haven't thought of anything yet.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the supervisor who mentors me is a pretty nice person.

I'll share more after staying a few more months.
