Free parking, free lunch, no deduction from benefits
Two seasonal bonuses (NT$6,000 each for the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival)
Domestic employee travel subsidy of NT$8,000 per year; overseas subsidy of up to NT$25,000 per year depending on seniority, plus NT$10,000 for family members; year-end bonus averages 3.3 months’ salary
Because it is a Japanese company, Taiwanese executives have titles without real authority; decision-making power still rests with the Japanese, so they cannot decide much. As a result, these managers only flatter the Japanese and do not advocate for their subordinates. They may also harass employees by abusing their authority. In addition, it is difficult for women to get promoted—a typical case of favoring men over women. Salary increases are small, around NT$300–400. Therefore, you should definitely negotiate for a higher starting salary.
For people who only seek stability, this company is okay, but you will not gain a sense of accomplishment or feel valued. In other words, anyone can replace you. The Japanese often do not let Taiwanese employees know about many things, so the only area where you can really learn is imports and exports.
