Workplace reviews and discussion: 巽崑設計有限公司

1. Paid leave does not result in a salary deduction

2. No need to think—just work as a draftsman

3. Overtime is generally not required

Conclusion: A place to live a comfortable, easygoing life

1. At the beginning, proposals are generally fine, but once they reach the boss’s wife, every design becomes a problem. Do not have ideas of your own—they will definitely be rejected. So don’t think; just work as a draftsman. Simply give them whatever they ask for.

2. Extremely limited knowledge of building materials

3. The spatial renderings differ from the actual implementation and are overly idealized

4. The budgets for projects are generally unclear. They only ever tell you, “As long as your design is good, the client will be willing to pay for it,” and then change the materials during implementation.

5. Basically, there are not many projects in Taiwan; even when there are, the work mainly consists of color planning.

6. Even when a construction method cannot overcome a problem, they will tell you to draw it first and worry about it later. No wonder the company has so many design changes. In any case, just keep quiet and draw what they want, and do not complain when revisions are requested.

7. You cannot interact with the clients, so it is unclear whether the client on the contracting side wants changes or whether the “client” above you wants changes. Moreover, the client above you comes from a standard graphic-design background and approaches all spatial design with a 2D, floor-plan-based mindset.

8. The proposal presentation style for the contracting side differs greatly from the actual drawing style. The overall style is a peculiar one cobbled together from various sources.
