Workplace reviews and discussion: 湧立股份有限公司

The workplace is located next to an MRT station

Before every interview, I check the reviews on Tianyan Tong

as a reference.

I didn’t expect that, by chance, no one had shared their experience of stepping on a landmine.

So I’m sharing my interview experience right away. I hope everyone will decide whether it’s worth wasting time going there after reading it.

They emphasized that the company was well-organized and treated its employees very well.

And then~

1. Overtime is handled under a responsibility-based system. They explained that, given the current number of assistants, overtime is necessary, but after new people join, it might be possible not to work overtime depending on the workload (or only work a little overtime), so there is no overtime pay. (They kept emphasizing that they treat employees very well and couldn’t bear to have employees leave work late. But if the work really can’t be finished, why is there no overtime pay?)

2. If a typhoon day off falls on a scheduled workday, it is unpaid!! They even said, “That’s how companies outside work nowadays, right?” as if seeking agreement! I awkwardly nodded (but inside I was thinking, “The companies I’ve worked for so far really haven’t been like that.”)

3. The salary… is NT$1,000 above the minimum wage, plus NT$2,000 for perfect attendance.

They said the salary would be adjusted based on performance after three months.

They emphasized that if your performance is good, your salary would be adjusted after three months or half a year. (Normally, other companies give you a raise after just one month of good performance—do you really need to emphasize that it will be after three months?)
