Workplace reviews and discussion: 奇偶科技股份有限公司

When you have free time, you can zone out and have plenty of time to yourself. Snacks are available at around 4 p.m., and there are lots of standard cookies. Although it may seem rather bleak, having something to eat is better than nothing. The gym is too poor to count as a benefit; after going once, you won’t want to go again...

Cameras cover the entire ceiling. Since the company is in the surveillance business, installing them in the office is understandable for testing purposes, but there is correspondingly little privacy. There is no overtime pay, but you can submit an application for it—just understand what that means.

This is a good place to build your skills if you’re interested in the surveillance industry, but don’t expect much in terms of benefits. The internal environment is filled with cameras, which feels awful. The company operates under a military-style system: whenever you go out or take leave, you must send an email so the entire department knows. In some departments, the atmosphere is so rigid that employees don’t even dare take out their phones, let alone use their work computers. The seating is arranged in an L-shaped layout, making it easy to see everything when someone walks by. Most of the internal staff are senior employees, so there is less of a youthful atmosphere.
