Workplace reviews and discussion: 先驅媒體社會企業股份有限公司

1. Lots of money. Full-time employees are guaranteed a year-end bonus equivalent to one month’s salary; there is also a mid-year bonus, and those who support major news stories can receive more based on performance. Even part-time employees receive substantial year-end bonuses, possibly more than the year-end bonuses for full-time employees at many companies.

2. Complies with the Labor Standards Act, and overtime pay is provided when overtime is applied for.

3. The work is easy. You do not need to leave the office to write reports; rewriting or cobbling together news is enough. Although the job title is reporter, the actual work is all editing, making it suitable for saving money.

1. The manager of the department you join has poor emotional control and likes to engage in office politics to divide employees. They often emotionally blackmail subordinates, and those who flatter and curry favor can quickly rise through the ranks. There have also been frequent reports of the manager spreading rumors that employees they dislike badmouth the company outside of work, as well as falsely reporting employees’ personal information.

2. The company’s senior management holds extremely outdated views about the media. Although it calls itself an online media company, it has never attempted to launch digital features and has no in-house engineers. Employees are divided into isolated roles, with no opportunities to work together on news features. As long as you write low-quality filler for the weekly feature, everything prioritizes speed and traffic, running the media outlet like a content farm.

Summary: Suitable for you if you have completely given up on ideals in media, want to save money, and are good at protecting yourself and managing upward.
