Had nightmares; remember the dreams.
The following applies to offices other than headquarters.
There are three bonuses, but not much: NT$1,000 within the first year, NT$3,000 after three years, etc. However, compared with other companies in the medical device industry and even the tech industry, it is very little.
The training is very thorough, but you have to arrive at the company early. There are quite a few sessions each month.
Being late results in half a day’s pay being deducted, and lateness is not permitted.
During the interview, they say they follow the Labor Standards Act. (But in reality, you have to arrive early or stay after work, and there is no overtime pay. Even when there is, it is not calculated according to the Labor Standards Act.)
The year-end bonus is less than one month’s salary. (The annual performance targets are set extremely high.)
It has a very Korean-style culture (almost like military service: a strict hierarchy, strong emphasis on seniority and age, and age is the main factor. You need to be very good at being polite and flattering.)
Business trips are about making the supervisor happy, not you.
