Workplace reviews and discussion: 智崴資訊科技股份有限公司

The company gets orders. Although frontline employees may not feel it, at least the company is making money and is unlikely to go under for the next few years.

It presents itself as a cultural and creative industry company, but is actually an equipment manufacturer. Recently, its 104 recruitment listing for a new finance manager clearly suggests that it wants to start leveraging financial leverage and pursuing equity investments.

Senior management likes to favor obedient yes-men, using them to lead talented people and having nonprofessionals lead professionals. As a result, they cannot produce decent content and have simply given up on R&D.

R&D personnel are treated as liabilities rather than assets. Senior management has frankly stated that developing high-end talent to create content costs too much, so the company is downsizing and mainly shifting to outsourcing.

There are no professional planners left internally; they were all driven away. Only a few people remain to produce marketing demos and write R&D records to apply for subsidies. Engineers may be sent on business trips to look after booths or change light bulbs.

If you are going to work in administration, HR, or general affairs, it is not bad. However, R&D is not recommended. There is little opportunity to produce achievements that would enhance your résumé.

This company mainly evaluates employees based on personal connections and how loudly they speak. It is difficult to get promoted through ability alone. Yes-man managers only focus on taking credit for themselves and will not advocate for their subordinates' benefits.
