Workplace reviews and discussion: 大宇資訊股份有限公司

Use your working hours to teach yourself things~

1. Salaries are below the industry average, and there are almost no raises. So if you're thinking about joining, be mentally prepared: make sure you can accept going several years without a raise based on the monthly salary you negotiate. There is no fixed year-end bonus; it currently seems to be one month, while the worst I've received was half a month. There is no overtime pay, which is offset with compensatory leave, and even taking more than three days of compensatory leave can be made difficult. I've even been called back to work while on leave.

2. The atmosphere at the company is terrible. It doesn't feel like working at a game company at all—it's lifeless. Some managers in the larger teams like to form cliques and have no idea how to lead a team. They also enjoy making sarcastic remarks at each other instead of encouraging one another to improve.

3. Development costs never seem to be taken into account. Several projects were canceled after 2–3 years, after a lot of money had been spent outsourcing them. Things are handled recklessly and chaotically; it really seems like there's no genuine intention to make games.
