Workplace reviews and discussion: 司創公關顧問有限公司

1. New hires are usually given the compensation they requested during the interview (at least that was the case for me and another colleague who joined at the same time). I received raises fairly quickly—twice before I had even been there a year. However, the colleague next to me still had not received a raise after a year.... I’m not sure whether this should count as a strength or a weakness.

2. The clients are all large companies in the skincare and cosmetics industries, which can help enhance your résumé when looking for a future job.

3. You can quickly learn the fundamentals. Tasks are handed directly to you, and if you don’t know how to do something, you have to... find a way yourself or ask. It’s suitable for people who like finding their own solutions and know how to ask questions. Occasionally, there are company-wide meetings for sharing experiences, which provide a little sense of knowledge being passed down.

4. Relations among colleagues are fairly harmonious. When it’s a colleague’s birthday, the company orders expensive food for everyone to share.

5. It seems that no one is looking for new business (I don’t know for sure), but projects keep coming in, so there isn’t much pressure in that regard.

1. I was only relaxed for the first week after joining; after that, things were always very busy @@. When there are a lot of projects, working overtime is the norm. If it’s a few days before an event, we work especially late and almost always stay until nearly midnight. Sometimes it’s already four or five in the afternoon, and a client will still call asking for something-or-other to be done by the next morning. However, we almost never have to work or work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays. We also don’t work when the government designates a Saturday as a make-up workday, so that’s a small silver lining.

2. The company is made up entirely of women.

3. Which supervisor you get is a matter of luck. The colleague next door’s next-door colleague was not very lucky: her supervisor lacked organization, causing her to frequently do work for nothing, and she left after six months.

4. The projects are fairly homogeneous; 90% are in the cosmetics and skincare industries. If you’re interested in these fields, that’s great, but if you want to gain experience in other areas...

5. The bosses all leave work very late... the supervisors also leave very late... and little old me.........

P.S. Although I selected “Good” from the three options—Good, Average, and Poor—in reality... choosing Average would also be reasonable, and choosing Good would also be reasonable. Sometimes it feels average, and sometimes it feels good.
