Workplace reviews and discussion: 元擘有限公司

The office is located in Taipei 101, with a great view and opportunities to collaborate on projects with people from different countries.

It is a private company. The boss is Taiwanese and often says that he does not hesitate to spend his own money, but when it comes to spending company money, he keeps cutting costs. He frequently talks about his vision and ambitions, making grand promises, while employees often do not receive the corresponding resources or time. Everything has to be produced as quickly as possible, so both products and systems are only superficial; responsibility is investigated only after something goes wrong. Unreasonable demands are often made, and if they are not fulfilled, it is considered a violation of company policy and direction, which is then used as a reason to dismiss employees. There is no real office culture—only an office quieter than a library, with little interaction among colleagues. Other benefits are provided in accordance with the Labor Standards Act.
