Workplace reviews and discussion: 智佳電子股份有限公司

The salary is 10–20% higher than the industry average.

During the interview, the boss constantly talked about taking the company public and listing it on the stock exchange. After you were hired, the offer they sent you listed a position two or three levels higher than the one you applied for—despite applying as an engineer, you were made an assistant manager or manager. The boss explained that you should first work hard for the company in this position, but the salary did not match the position. The problem is that there are only three to five R&D staff, and every R&D employee is an assistant manager or manager—so who is managing whom? Every day, the boss requires all employees to line up for meetings; only operators are exempt. Everyone is treated the same. The daily meetings end quickly when the boss is in a good mood, but last a long time when the boss is in a bad mood. The boss is two-faced, curses and verbally abuses people, and goes around telling employees private gossip about other employees. The work environment is high-pressure, and employees are not allowed to take leave freely. You can only request leave for important family matters or illness; otherwise, it is not allowed. The ceiling is low, making the workplace feel oppressive. Employees work overtime every day without overtime pay. The atmosphere is unusually strange. The veteran R&D staff in the office are frequently subjected to remarks such as: “Did you do it?” “Have you finished what the boss assigned?” “Do you not want to work anymore?” “Why aren’t you answering me?” and again, “Do you not want to work anymore?” Project development deadlines are absurdly compressed. Even when you work overtime, they do not provide a meal or meal allowance. Employees are not given company trips. The boss constantly uses a three-month year-end bonus as an incentive, but if you are truly short of money, do not need a life outside work, and do not want any personal time, you can give it a try.
