1. It can enrich your résumé and provide exposure to quite a few construction crew foremen. There is a lot to learn, and the scope of experience is broad.
2. The pace of salary adjustments and bonuses for winning projects—the company is not stingy. What you are entitled to is yours.
3. The company provides health checkups, which are fairly good.
1. In principle, the company's managers come to work with a retirement-minded attitude. When something happens, the first people they look for to take the blame are the designers and engineers below them. If the Team supervisor has a good relationship with managers, subordinates who do not know how to curry favor and only diligently do their jobs have only one outcome: "work themselves to death and never get promoted." Managers always shift the blame for their own mistakes to subordinates first. When the matter is reported to upper management, the company is also the first to fire frontline employees. It is a company that does not ask who is right or wrong, only how long someone has been employed.
2. In the company's eyes, the Labor Standards Act is just a string of words. It is not followed, and there are no real working or quitting times, let alone any mention of leave. In the company's eyes, frontline employees in design and engineering are just an inexhaustible supply of fresh livers. Ideally, they are used until they cannot take it anymore and then resign on their own, which is why the company is Always hiring. Regardless of whether you submit leave according to company procedures, if you call and no one answers, you are immediately blacklisted.
3. When women have menstrual leave and are in too much pain to work, their supervisors will only tell them to come to the office no matter what. They do not treat people's lives as lives. Employees are not company assets; they are merely tools.
4. There is hardly any promotion system. It takes at least 10 years to get promoted, and for those without connections, more than 15 years. If the old-timers at the top do not leave, they will never be replaced. After joining the company, what you see is always the people selling their fresh livers at the bottom coming and going, while the supervisors at the top remain immovable. If you want a promotion, switching companies is probably faster.
5. The company's most criticized practice is probably making employees take the blame. In the same group, the supervisor is always responsible for everything good, while everything wrong is blamed on the people below. So it does not matter how hard you work; knowing how to curry favor with supervisors and managers is the real key, even if
In short, after developing solid practical skills here, you will find that the company's overall senior-management culture is quite corrupt. Knowing how to curry favor is more important than being capable. This is something you encounter at large companies, but after staying at this company for 1–2 years, your mindset will become much stronger out in the world, because when your supervisor wants you to take the blame, the manager above will also join in. As for the vice presidents and the owner, after working here for several years, they do not even know who you are. Therefore, it is very important to have the right supervisor at the company. Based on the people I have worked with so far—a male supervisor in his fifties and a male manager who wears glasses (senior management is easy to recognize)—their approach can be summed up in one sentence: "Fresh livers are replaceable; anyone will do. If you cannot handle it, I can replace you at any time. Taking the blame is also one of your responsibilities."
Treat the job as training, but if you are looking for a place to coast toward retirement, I advise you to build up your experience and then move on. There are better companies waiting for you outside.
