Workplace reviews and discussion: 九樓壹號科技有限公司

The company is in a good location, close to an MRT station.

The company was formerly known as 謙迅國際有限公司. Someone previously posted a review, which you can refer to in the article below; the situation really is more or less as described.

Additional comments:

1. The company’s compensation and benefits are poor. No one can guarantee that you will definitely receive the three traditional holiday bonuses or an annual bonus, because people usually do not stay for more than a year, so it is unclear whether these are provided every year. The leave system follows the Labor Standards Act. Apart from what I mentioned above, everything else listed on 104 is available to see but not to receive—in other words, it basically does not exist.

2. The company has a very high turnover rate. Nearly 40 people left within three years, and there was a time when 7 or 8 people left within a little over a month. Anyone who has stayed for a year is already considered a very senior employee.

3. It is a small company with fewer than 10 employees, with virtually no systems or regulations. It is perfectly normal for benefits to suddenly be introduced and then immediately cut.

4. Job responsibilities are very miscellaneous. For example, programmers may also have to conduct market research or planning-related work, while planners may have to double as designers or handle general affairs. In short, whenever the boss thinks of something, you are expected to take it on.

5. The boss is very rude toward people, shouts at employees, uses harsh language, and frequently makes sarcastic or insulting remarks.

6. Employees are required to bring their own computers, but no subsidy is provided.

7. The boss loves to make grand promises, while work progress and goals are unclear. It is difficult to get things done, yet you are constantly criticized, and the boss nitpicks over things that could clearly be handled very simply.

8. The atmosphere at the company is strange, often carrying a gloomy, oppressive mood.
