1. Colleagues from different departments get along well, but still need to compete with one another when pitching proposals.
2. Coffee and snacks are provided in the pantry and can be taken as needed.
3. You can listen to music and chat with one another while working, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
4. Comfortable working environment.
5. Suitable for people who want to quickly accumulate experience, provided that you are hardworking and willing to endure tough conditions.
1. Overtime is routine, but there is no overtime pay—only a NT$100 missed-meal allowance. It is taken for granted that you will work until the early hours of the morning when your projects cannot be finished, and the next day you can only clock in late according to company policy.
2. This is a business-oriented company. Designers must follow the proposal direction predetermined by the business team when designing and revising drafts, and proposals are nearly 90% complete by the time they are presented. If the business team’s direction is unfortunately wrong, you have to start over from scratch.
3. When there is a large-scale production project, you must put aside your current work and provide full support, but you still have to find a way to complete your own work within the proposal deadline.
4. The boss has a cleanliness obsession and sets high standards for the environment. Employees take turns serving as the duty person, with responsibilities including cleaning the pantry, office environment, outdoor areas, and two restrooms. If the boss is dissatisfied, you will be required to redo the work for a week. In addition, everyone must carry out a thorough cleaning once a week.
5. Lunch breaks are frequently taken up by revisions, showing no respect for employees’ right to rest.
6. When miscommunication between the business team and the client causes a proposal to be rejected or problems during execution, the tendency is to blame one another from the client’s perspective; at that moment, there is no such thing as a “team.”
