Workplace reviews and discussion: 川晟生物科技股份有限公司

At first, it may seem like a good place because no one trains you or manages you. After managing your work independently, you can leave on time.

The company is frightening. It exploits loopholes in the Labor Standards Act and has many unreasonable regulations. Job seekers, think twice!

Employees who have worked for less than one year are forced to pay for their uniforms (a purple shirt that costs NT$100 at a night market is charged at NT$450...).

As for overtime, overtime pay is never provided on regular workdays. Even when overtime is actually worked, although the written policy says employees can choose overtime pay, in practice supervisors say you can only take compensatory leave. If a supervisor notices that you leave work too early, they will also make negative comments about you behind your back...

Although the company has separate job openings, there is no actual division of responsibilities. If the boss thinks you can be used, they will assign tasks to you arbitrarily, presenting it nicely as an opportunity to train you to become a manager. In reality, they are just stringing employees along. For example, although the organization has HR staff, accountants at each branch are pressured to double as HR personnel. If you do not cooperate with the company, the supervisors above you will simply say that you have given up your own opportunities for promotion and to prove yourself...

The most frightening thing is that the group’s chief operating officer privately establishes certain rules but does not dare put them in writing—for example, coworkers are not allowed to communicate privately or create group chats.

Anyone considering joining should really think it through! Although there are many companies under the group, each with its own supervisors, they are all ultimately managed by the chief operating officer.
