Workplace reviews and discussion: 摩奇坊國際有限公司

None

1. A small company with very incomplete systems and personnel organization. Everyone must wear multiple hats, and after joining, there is a very high chance of being assigned work that was not disclosed during the interview.

2. During the interview, you must “confirm repeatedly” the actual salary and benefits for the position to avoid discovering after joining that the company did not keep its word and that there is a discrepancy in pay.

3. The company’s weekly meetings are extremely inefficient and have devolved into the boss giving speeches about the past.

4. There is a serious divide among employees, with an obvious power imbalance between younger employees (ages 20–35) and managerial employees aged 40 and above.

5. The work evaluation system is incomplete and unreasonable. The fact that there would be work evaluations after joining was never disclosed during the interview, and not all employees are evaluated. Usually, only younger employees are evaluated (as noted in point 4).

6. Resigning is extremely difficult and employees are not treated with respect. Even when resignation is submitted in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, all supervisors hold individual meetings with the employee, and the matter is brought up for “public” discussion in meetings—effectively a public trial.

7. The company uses a relatively authoritarian management style (one person has the final say). Everything must go through the boss before a decision can be made, and employees’ ideas and creativity are not easily accepted by upper management.

8. Employees must pay a NT$100 late fee when they are late. The company does not explain how this money will be used or handled, which creates a poor impression.

9. Employees must take turns bringing the company’s garbage home for disposal.
