Workplace reviews and discussion: 晟景數位文化股份有限公司

If you have good educational qualifications, the salary will not be too bad.

Each desk is separated by partitions, and the office space is large, providing a sense of personal privacy.

Colleagues are generally young and easy to talk to. Lunch is provided (for a fee, but it is very inexpensive).

The lunch break is long enough to take a short nap.

【The following is a real experience of leaving during the probationary period after being hired, provided as a reference for those considering applying or interviewing】

The offer letter received upon hiring and the contract signed on the first day of employment both listed the job title as “Assistant,” rather than the position originally applied for. The company explained that the official title would be changed only after successfully completing the probationary period.

The three-month probationary period was contracted on a【one-month-at-a-time basis】. The contract was made in a single copy, and the employee did not receive a paper copy (I did not ask for one, so I am unsure whether I would have received it if I had requested it).

During the probationary period, there was an exam every week, including practical tasks and short-answer questions about the company’s SOPs. At the end of each month, there was another major exam. In addition to practical tasks and short-answer questions (memorizing the SOP content), it also included several short writing assignments covering topics such as personal reflections on life and career.

The short writing assignments could be regarded as a test of compatibility with the company. If you answered honestly about your thoughts and, unfortunately, the company was dissatisfied with your personality or other performance, you could be dismissed at any time after the exam on the grounds that you had【failed the assessment and would not be rehired】 (even if your exam scores were not poor). Furthermore, because the previous contract was signed on a【one-month-at-a-time basis】, the company could claim that it was【simply the expiration of the contract, not a layoff】, meaning that legal protections applicable to laid-off employees would not apply.

Therefore, be sure to understand that during the first three months, the【one-month-at-a-time contract】 is effectively【temporary employment】 from the company’s perspective. There is a possibility of being dismissed every month during the probationary period. It is recommended that you mentally prepare for【being hired after an interview does not mean being employed long term】 before starting work, to avoid wasting one or two months of job searching and missing out on protections such as severance pay.

As an additional note, the company is a family business. Some of the benefits listed on the job-search website are available only to senior employees. There is no overtime pay for the first hour of overtime.
