1. Annual salary guaranteed for 14 months

2. Stock + stock options depend on luck; support departments receive very little!

3. Performance bonuses also depend on luck; only a few people receive the “black envelope” bonus (don’t think too much about this...!)

4. Overtime pay (1.33/1.66) can be converted into compensatory leave; compensatory leave can be exchanged for cash at the end of the year (1.5)

5. Travel allowance: NTD 8,000

6. Business trip allowance: USD 20 on weekdays, USD 30 on holidays, and USD 10 for phone expenses when traveling across a weekend

7. The seven-day leave was not cut, and you get an additional three days of “vitality leave” (which must be taken consecutively); weekends are not used for make-up workdays

*** Wistron’s variable bonuses are not particularly high, but including overtime pay, the annual salary is quite good!},{

Do some people get promoted for no apparent reason? It’s unclear what the basis for promotion is.

When you join, negotiate your salary and job level all at once—that’s the right way to do it!

*** It’s best to score around 700–800 on TOEIC before applying. There are internal TOEIC-style exams, but registration fills up very quickly. Some promotion requirements may have English-language criteria.
