Workplace reviews and discussion: 和泰聯網股份有限公司

1. The parent company is very powerful and a leader in Taiwan’s automotive industry.

2. The location is fairly convenient. I heard the company will move to a brand-new building in September.

3. Aside from the managers, most colleagues are easy to get along with and willing to share both hardships and good times.

1. It is called a startup, but in reality its way of thinking is completely old-fashioned—basically stuck in ideas from 20 years ago. It has no product mindset, only a project-oriented way of thinking, and survives on its powerful marketing resources.

2. The general manager trusts only the chief operating officer and his people; all other employees are distrusted. The COO and the boss claim to have technical backgrounds, but their abilities have completely failed to keep up with technological development, and they do not respect genuine expertise.

3. The boss likes to use trendy buzzwords such as big data and AI, but in practice it is all empty talk with no viable business model, leading employees and shareholders to dream along with him.

4. They do not want to seriously develop the team, and there is no training or employee development system. You will regret joining.

5. For some reason, HR likes to ask during interviews how many people are in the applicant’s family and what their parents do. They come across as very arrogant. This is nothing like a company that treats people as assets.

6. The managers and employees have all been replaced, leaving only engineers who follow orders and people who diligently pursue sales. If you want to become a competent corporate tool, you should think carefully.
