Workplace reviews and discussion: 聲遠精密光學股份有限公司

Willing to pay overtime

There are two different sets of policies within the same company, and they differ greatly from what was said in the interview. They say you can decide your own break times, but in reality there is basically no break time at all. My access card still could not open the doors after three weeks—how are we supposed to take breaks?

They say they will not exploit workers or take up their personal time, but sometimes work runs past the end of the shift, and there is no overtime pay available to claim for those hours.

Regarding relationships with coworkers, I felt that people there were superficially nice to you, but in reality they were arrogant and self-important. They only allowed themselves to make mistakes and did not tolerate any deviation from new employees. As the saying goes there: “If you’re inexperienced, you deserve to suffer.”

As for salary, although it is considered full pay—for example, NT$25,000—taking personal leave generally results in another NT$1,000–2,000 being deducted because the perfect-attendance bonus is NT$2,000. The salary can be described as very low. For meals, simply eating at the company incurs an additional NT$10 charge per meal.

In summary: Be prepared to work yourself to the bone, and you must rotate through night shifts. If you’re inexperienced, you deserve to suffer.

The policies are inconsistent, and there may be discrepancies between the interview and the actual job.
