Workplace reviews and discussion: 柏格科技股份有限公司

1. The boss is often away, so you can go out freely without any worries.

2. There is a NT$50 daily afternoon-tea allowance. You have to pay upfront, and the company reimburses you at the end of the month.

3. The younger colleagues are friendly and easy to get along with.

1. There are no systems or procedures—no systems or procedures—no systems or procedures—no systems or procedures.

2. When you start, no personnel or work regulations are provided. Working hours, lunch breaks, paydays, and other details are not proactively communicated.

3. Being one minute late results in a one-hour deduction, with no flexibility whatsoever.

4. The company uses a fingerprint time clock. At the end of each month, everyone must verify their own clock-in and clock-out times, and accounting pays salaries based on the verified forms.

5. The boss frequently asks employees to handle personal errands, all of which must be treated as urgent and given top priority because the boss dislikes waiting and hates being refused. He uses this to judge whether you are capable. Examples include helping move things at the boss’s home, packing and taking out garbage, handling barrier-free walkway construction projects, negotiating the price of air-conditioning work (the boss has already decided which vendor to use but still expects you to negotiate urgently), scanning documents, photocopying documents, and other personal chores.

6. Working as a procurement specialist is difficult because a long-time employee will force you to follow and accept the concepts she has decided on.

7. The procurement specialist’s duties include purchasing, receiving goods, managing inventory, and managing the warehouse.

8. The long-time employee loves nagging about a single matter for several hours, so you will often feel mentally drained and exhausted. Her logical and comprehension abilities are poor.

9. The highly senior employee responsible for managing shipments has some issues with how responsibilities are defined and assigned. For example, procurement is supposed to handle shipping out machines, while she is only responsible for entering the orders; if there is an inventory problem, it becomes your responsibility.

She believes procurement always handled these tasks in the past, so procurement must continue doing them now. If you do not do them, she will be extremely upset, and once she is upset, your relationship with her will immediately drop to freezing point.

10. For a procurement position, it is recommended that inexperienced recent graduates or newcomers take the job, as they may be happier. Procurement professionals with experience at other companies may find it more difficult to accept this company’s culture.

11. Domestic and overseas trips depend on whether all employees are available. If you are busy with a case and cannot make time, the trip is canceled for you.

12. Think carefully before joining.
