Workplace reviews and discussion: 赤天空股份有限公司

1. No experience is fine—the boss values your attitude toward work

When I first joined, I had absolutely no planning experience (although my previous job was somewhat related), but the boss still took a chance on hiring me. After joining, I gradually learned a lot by working with different senior colleagues. There was little hierarchy in the company, so anyone could express their opinions directly. Naturally, the evaluations and feedback were also very straightforward. As long as you are willing to work, ask questions, and learn, you can improve quickly. In this kind of atmosphere, I was soon able to work independently and take on responsibilities, which helped me a lot in my later career.

2. Colleagues get along well, and even the management is approachable

Most people at the company were quite young (including the boss, the average age was around 25–28), and my colleagues were all cheerful and easy to get along with. Since there was not much hierarchy, preparing proposals and running events was hard, but we always had the team’s support. Everyone went through difficulties together, and over time we developed a strong bond. Even though I have already left the company, I have remained friends with my former colleagues and boss, and we still get together often.

3. The salary is not the most competitive, but the benefits and bonuses are pretty good

Since I had no experience when I joined, my starting salary naturally was not very high (the boss also needed to first understand my abilities, which I think was reasonable). However, once I started working and contributing to the company, the boss did his best to provide salary adjustments and year-end bonuses whenever possible. The company also has KPIs, but the targets are reasonable for each person based on their seniority, abilities, and level of project involvement. As long as you are willing to work steadily alongside the company, meeting the annual targets is very easy. In addition, the company’s employee trips are genuinely luxurious. We always went to places that are relatively difficult for ordinary people to visit. I paid the full travel expenses only during my first year (because I had only been there for one month at the time); after that, I never had to pay. The employee trips—with great food, accommodation, and activities—are still unforgettable to me.

4. A steady flow of projects—if you like tourism marketing and traveling all over Taiwan, this is the place for you

The company mainly handles government tenders, especially tourism-related marketing projects (such as tourism festivals and lantern festivals). Because this is what the company does frequently, the availability of projects, winning rate, and resources are all fairly stable, so there is not much need to worry about running out of work. In the past, I often had to travel between various tourist attractions to carry out projects. Although I sometimes had to start early and finish late, it was still quite interesting.

1. Long working hours, with frequent weekend overtime for events

I think this is probably a common problem in event companies. One person has to write proposals and execute projects, while also dealing with clients, officials, and the public (believe me, people trying to get free event giveaways can be terrifying). Frequent overtime and working until completely exhausted are the norm. But because of this, your abilities can improve by leaps and bounds in a short time. If you love challenges and enjoy keeping your life full, come work here; otherwise, you will truly be physically and mentally exhausted XDDD

2. Sometimes the boss takes jokes too far

The boss is actually not a bad person, but his mouth can be a little sharp, so if you are sensitive or easily offended, you probably should not come here. However, if you can give as good as you get and fire back, then you will fit right in and can trade insults with the boss (once it’s over, everything is fine!). I am a relatively sensitive person who can be easily hurt, so I used to get extremely angry (and even cried a few times). We always talked things through afterward, and the boss apologized to me, so everything is fine now.
