I remember that during my first year at the company, I once took five days off to travel around Hualien and Taitung. The CEO’s assistant asked me for my itinerary (I actually wasn’t very happy about sharing it at the time). But when I checked into the hotels, the front desk would tell me, “Your boss has already paid for your accommodation.” Wow—I was so happy every time I checked in! The total cost for four nights was over NT$10,000.
It wasn’t until I left the company that I realized how much effort the CEO had put into making the company feel like a warm family. The company moved very, very, very quickly (really extremely quickly), and the only way to keep up with the CEO’s pace was through teamwork and mutual encouragement. That’s why the CEO regularly organized many social events to bring colleagues closer together and relieve everyone’s work pressure. Perhaps because the colleagues, managers, and boss were all young, the activities were always incredibly energetic and wild.
There were also frequent adjustments to the company’s policies and regulations (of course, some were good and some were bad). For example, on one occasion, the CEO suddenly announced that everyone who wore the company uniform to that day’s general meeting would receive NT$300 in McDonald’s vouchers. (Hehe—after that, everyone started wearing the company uniform to large meetings without even having to coordinate.)
In short, this company moves quickly, offers broad exposure, and involves a lot of pressure. It’s very suitable for people who are eager to learn, driven, proactive, and goal-oriented.
If you don’t bring passion to your work here, you’ll quickly fall behind your colleagues or competitors and disappear from the e-commerce stage.
