Workplace reviews and discussion: 源川國際股份有限公司

None, except that the office building is new.

1. The authoritarian atmosphere is strong, and you must be on call at all times, including holidays.

2. There is no overtime pay, but everyone works until at least 8 p.m. every day. Everyone is just putting on a show for the boss.

3. The boss has extremely little respect for employees. The Singaporean American frequently makes American-style jokes that are supposedly humorous but make people uncomfortable.

4. There are few people but a lot of work, yet the manager still thinks there are too many employees.

5. Frequent business trips to mainland China are required, and you may be assigned to work there on a long-term basis at any time.

6. After working there for two years, you are already considered senior. Turnover is quite high.

7. You work the overtime hours typical of the tech industry, but the year-end bonus is only two months’ salary—the kind of amount that traditional industries would consider rock-bottom.

8. There is no business-trip allowance; the boss thinks it is merely working from a different location.

9. There are many relatives and favorites of the boss; most people in upper management are the boss’s own people.

10. New hires are treated as disposable chopsticks; five new employees left within one month.

Conclusion: If you have a family or want to have a life of your own, do not try it lightly.
