1. Other than the coworkers getting along well, not having to work overtime, and being able to watch lots of (not necessarily good-looking) adult videos, this company probably has no other advantages.

2. The salary is around 26,000. Regardless of educational background or certifications, everyone gets about this amount; it will only be lower, never higher.

3. Unless you have no particular requirements, I suggest not casually joining this company.

1. The comments above about the manager are completely true. The situation continued to exist until I left the company and seriously affected everyone's work efficiency. I suggest not joining this company.

2. Take the Chinese-Japanese joint venture claims with a grain of salt. The Japanese people who have worked with the company disliked the experience afterward, and the current content is also brought in through other agencies. You will hardly see any female performers either; the manager obtains them by pressuring other departments, which has given the company a very bad reputation in the industry.

3. The salary is very low. The starting salary is around 25,000–26,000, with a 1,000 attendance bonus. You are expected to arrive at the company at 9:00 a.m. every day and leave at 6:00 p.m. If you take one day off that month, your salary immediately drops by at least 1,000 plus that day's wages. In Taipei, it is very difficult to live on just 26,000. There is also no overtime pay, only compensatory leave, and even that is given very sparingly. You really need to pay attention to this.

4. Like the previous comments, after staying for more than a year, my initial thought was that this company had a lot of potential. But after joining, I discovered many structural problems, such as the three directors creating a chaotic situation in which each faction operated independently. The biggest problem, however, was still the manager. Although her title was Assistant to the General Manager, the entire company's operations were effectively placed in her hands. She lacked professional knowledge and experience in audiovisual production, imaging, finance, law, and personnel management. Apart from having extensive experience in her previous work, she had few effective or improvement-oriented ideas. Her thinking was that of a typical old-school Taiwanese boss: crude, emotional, and constantly changing management methods that often affected employees' morale and efficiency. In meetings, she only asked employees to do more work, while pretending not to hear whenever salaries or leave were discussed.

5. The manager often distorted the communication between upper and lower levels. She would twist important information that employees needed to report upward according to her own interpretation when reporting it to management, turning small matters into big ones or getting specifications, budgets, and work schedules wrong. When conveying instructions from the boss and directors downward, she would arbitrarily add a great deal of unnecessary or nonsensical elaboration. In the end, employees still had to communicate directly with vendors to clean up the mess, needlessly increasing the complexity of the work.

6. What I personally found most difficult to tolerate was that, because the office was small (with transparent desktop OA partitions), the manager often spoke very loudly on the phone. This constantly disrupted our work. Even when busy with our own tasks, we would be asked by the manager—while she was still on the phone—to look up information or prepare reports, and sometimes even to help answer questions from the caller (we weren't the ones on the phone, were we?). During meetings, we also had to listen to the manager ramble about things she saw on LINE or outdated, elderly-style opinions from Chinese videos. The employees' expressions during meetings generally showed how annoyed and fed up they were, but the manager would continue talking about her own matters, dragging down everyone's progress.

7. If you genuinely want to learn something, you will not learn much here. With Excel, at most you will use formulas and make monthly reports with line charts; with Illustrator, you will mainly place images into designated work areas; with Photoshop, you will just adjust some unattractive text; and with Edius, you will do extremely basic editing, perhaps adding a transition effect. At most, you may learn how to manually schedule programs with channel system operators, including some minor Excel techniques. It is difficult to say that you will learn much at this company. Most of it is material taught during the first semester of the first year in a communications program. There is no development and no future.

8. This company is no better than others, yet you still have to endure a great deal of pressure from the manager. My advice is to develop your skills and find a better position at another company.
