1. Most colleagues are very nice.
2. In accordance with the Labor Standards Act—for example, overtime is paid, provided that overtime is reported. Supervisors generally sign off on overtime forms. Overtime is calculated according to the Labor Standards Act, and holidays follow government announcements. Once the overtime limit is reached (40 hours), overtime work is prohibited.
3. The benefits are the same as those listed on recruitment websites. Menstrual leave, annual leave, personal leave, and sick leave are available. The provision of leave and salary calculation during leave follow the Labor Standards Act. There is a birthday gift voucher (NT$500 for PX Mart) and a domestic travel subsidy of around NT$6,000 (the amount varies somewhat each year).
4. Employee lunch is provided; employees pay NT$15 per meal. However, there is no subsidy if you choose to eat outside.
1. The environment is poor. There is a lot of dust on-site, and the office of one department is very old, with wooden floors. When the machinery downstairs is operating and vibrating, the office feels like it is undergoing an earthquake.
2. The starting salary is low: NT$25,000 for university graduates in office positions, with further reductions for those without a university degree; on-site positions pay NT$28,000–29,000. There is basically little hope of a raise or promotion. If there is a raise, it is usually around NT$1,000 at a time (but you may have to wait several years). Even mid- and senior-level managers earn only around NT$50,000 per month, so salaries are generally low.
3. Mid- and senior-level managers lack vision and tend to avoid confronting problems. They do not understand frontline operations, and the policies they issue change constantly.
4. Departments shift blame and shirk responsibility, and employees are often assigned inexplicable tasks.
5. Japanese in appearance but Taiwanese at its core: very few of the benefits and systems typically associated with Japanese companies are actually provided, while there are plenty of the undesirable, unspoken rules commonly found in Taiwanese companies.
