Workplace reviews and discussion: 捷元股份有限公司

I only stayed briefly, for a year. Because I was the manager’s favorite, I had a fairly easy time, with no overtime and no heavy workload.

However, according to what other colleagues said, if the manager doesn’t like you, it’s hell: no bonuses, no friendly treatment, and you’ll definitely be given the most difficult clients or assignments.

The company environment is terrible. Cigarette smoke constantly drifts into the office, and the air conditioning is old, making it extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter.

The office is open-plan, and the partitions are practically useless—they only reach waist height when you stand up.

The hygiene is also very poor. We often heard shrieks from the sales area when people spotted cockroaches or rats.

New employees are forced to perform at the year-end party and must spend their time after work rehearsing, which is a waste of time.

Colleagues generally resist learning new tools and skills. They can barely even use basic Excel, and the company’s ERP system is a rudimentary in-house system. Its interface is ugly and its functionality is poor, but because it follows the existing work processes, the senior employees quite like it.

There are no normal people here, because anyone with a sound perspective will quickly look for a better place to work. Only half of those who joined at the same time as me are still employed.

The pay is pitifully low. The year-end bonus is one month’s salary, and the performance bonus is only a few thousand dollars. There is no employee stock bonus (the company has already been delisted). There are company trips, but employees are forced to go with their colleagues; it would be better to receive the money in cash.
