1. Most frontline colleagues are relatively young and energetic.
2. One-hour flexibility for commuting to and from work.
3. Close to the MRT station.
4. You can browse the shopping mall when you’re tired at work.
5. There are quite a lot of places to eat nearby.
That’s probably about it...
1. Although it operates under the Foxconn Group, it does not provide any of Foxconn’s benefits. Instead, there are many of Foxconn’s annoying rules and systems.
2. The top executive has a finance and accounting background and is cost-control-oriented in everything. Even now, you still have to calculate the amount of paper needed for printing, put it in the copier yourself, and register to obtain more once it runs out.
3. The organization is not large, but its structure is unnecessarily layered. Some older managers have the mindset that people in higher positions must know more.
4. The manager of the department I worked in always prioritized instructions from senior management. You were not allowed to question or ask about them; otherwise, you would be told that you had a bad attitude and refused to follow instructions.
5. They are very good at consoling themselves by saying that their salary levels are around the industry average, but when hiring, they cut salaries wherever possible.
6. Some mid- and senior-level managers are completely incapable of self-reflection. They simply wait for subordinates to complete the work they themselves should be doing. Once you have done their work, they report it to their superiors as their own achievement.
7. The most serious issue, and the one I found most unacceptable, is that some department managers have no professional expertise in the units they manage! They constantly ask subordinates, “What should we do?” After subordinates offer suggestions, if the manager thinks senior management will reject them, they will do everything they can to put you down. There is no encouragement—only an overwhelming sense of frustration—yet they lack even basic professional competence.
8. The manager of the department I worked in was very good at abusing their authority, taking advantage of every possible benefit, and even using improper methods to circumvent company rules.
If you still have a choice in life, don’t casually step into this place. Frontline employees are worked to death while senior management sits around waiting for results. The entire company is seriously corrupt.
