Workplace reviews and discussion: 乾坤科技股份有限公司_台達電子集團

Pros: Swapping cookies and candy is barely acceptable.

Cons: There are too many to list.

1. The food is terrible, and there are designated times for eating. If you miss the time, you have to buy food from the company store yourself. There are extremely few seats, so every few days, during heavy rain, you end up eating bread while sitting next to an ashtray.

2. The overtime culture is stuck in the previous generation. If you leave before working twelve hours on a regular day, your supervisor will highlight it. If you fail to come in on one of the two weekend days, that will also be highlighted. You will immediately receive an E for that performance review. Two Es or four Ds in performance reviews gets you kicked out directly. New hires receive an E for their first six months, no explanation given.

3. Internal conflict is severe. The infighting among the company's mid- and senior-level management is serious, driving away many talented experts and leaving behind some idiots who fool around inside.

4. The products have virtually no technical content. The company only makes low-margin, low-tech products with high substitutability—things that any number of factories in mainland China could make.

5. The machines, equipment, and tooling are mostly homemade or shoddy products made in mainland China. Equipment maintenance is extremely difficult, and R&D simply does nothing because the equipment is so poor. The products made by the equipment cannot even pass the company's own QC inspection.

6. For product and equipment maintenance parts, engineers are expected to purchase them themselves and prepare their own tools. The company provides no assistance or support whatsoever. Equipment and machines are constantly stolen from one another. A supervisor even said directly in a meeting that he would not get involved in equipment theft; if the equipment on your own line goes missing, the engineer on duty has to figure it out themselves.
