Workplace reviews and discussion: 兆赫電子股份有限公司

1. The Hsinchu R&D supervisors are Mr. Wang Zili and Assistant Manager Chuang. You can learn the essence of this field from them. Both are very patient when it comes to developing engineers and are very willing to share their own experience. If you have any questions—even if you are an absent-minded R&D engineer like me—just be honest and bring them up, and they will do their best to help. In addition, Mr. Wang has a very good temper and is dependable. His expression may seem a little cold, but he has a passionate heart. Assistant Manager Chuang looks somewhat serious, but is actually very humorous. I am very grateful to both of them for nurturing me during my five years as a national-defense-service engineer at Moxa.

2. Mr. Jiang from Sales, although a little impatient by nature, is basically a good person. When meeting with him, try to think from a sales perspective; it will give you different ideas about an engineering career.

3. At the time, Moxa’s bonuses were essentially shared equally among everyone: everyone worked hard together, and the bonuses were quite transparent. The general manager was very willing to share the fruits of everyone’s hard work.

4. What was fairly special about Moxa Hsinchu was that you had many opportunities to meet with first-level supervisors, and effective suggestions were usually taken into consideration.

5. The working atmosphere among R&D, Sales, Procurement, QA, and Manufacturing was fairly good...

6. As long as equipment was genuinely needed in the laboratory, the company would purchase it. Compared with the companies I worked for later, this was truly a major advantage.

1. It was difficult to get leave approved, and this was also one of the reasons many R&D employees resigned. (Taking leave might be related to performance evaluations.)

2. It was really difficult to get leave approved... R&D employees who wanted to travel abroad resigned and many went to Qisda or MStar, where they started working themselves to the bone.

3. It was really difficult to get leave approved... If you couldn’t find a girlfriend there, you simply didn’t take leave XD

4. The air in the Hukou Industrial Park was somewhat poor.

5. The transportation allowance for off-site testing was a little low at the time... As I recall, the fuel reimbursement was NT$3.5/km.

6. The PMs brought in later... I absolutely do not recommend the PM department. I’m not kidding!!
