The following describes product engineers (PEs) at the QTMC factory (PU9):

1. Most colleagues are easy to get along with, and they are generally willing to teach you kindly when you ask questions.

2. The environment is clean, and the restrooms are clean too.

3. There are plenty of resources, and the hardware and software equipment is comprehensive.

4. Overtime pay is calculated according to the Labor Standards Act. Although there is a cap, a special approval can raise it to 70 hours per month or even more.

5. This is a good fit for people without professional skills who need money, and it is also suitable for recent graduates looking to build up their resumes.

6. Motorcycle parking is convenient and offers shelter from the sun and rain.

1. The job listing says the location is the headquarters, but after reporting for work, you only find out that it is actually the factory across the street. Before showing up, you might think there is also a factory inside the headquarters. Basically, you can only stay at the factory and on the production line during work every day. If they said during the initial interview that the work location was the factory across the street, probably not many people would come.

2. There are many meetings. In addition to the half-hour morning meeting at 8:10 a.m. every day and the departmental meeting at 5 p.m., which lasts about one to two hours, the model you are responsible for may also have separate meetings from time to time. As a result, most employees usually do not leave work until after 8 p.m.

3. By the time the departmental meeting ends, the factory cafeteria is usually already closed. If you want to go across to the headquarters for dinner, the time you spend eating there will be monitored, and someone will wait for you in the access-control area. In addition to this, surveillance also includes assigning people to watch what you are doing; even after you come out of the restroom, someone monitors how long you were inside. The people doing the monitoring usually have little else to do—they only need to monitor people.

4. The quality of the departmental contacts for each product varies widely, and there are also many extremely problematic people. For example, one product team:

I. They invite you to a meeting just to use you as an endorsement and avoid taking responsibility themselves. If you try to ask the questions you need to ask, you will be interrupted and told to discuss them privately. As long as they confirm whatever they themselves need to confirm, that is all that matters.

II. When an abnormality appears in product testing, asking RD for advice will get you berated, but they will not provide a solution, and no one will help coordinate things. If you ask the MPM, the MPM will tell you to post your question in the group—but how is that any different from asking yourself?

III. To make things easier for themselves, the people below deliberately create the impression for upper management that most products have reached an FPY above the required standard. As a result, issues with their own products remain without solutions for a long time and cannot be HL'd to senior management; otherwise, they will face severe ostracism. For people with strong moral scruples, this can make it hard to sleep every day as they suffer pangs of conscience. Also, if they are unfortunately found out, the PE will be held responsible.

5. There is a famous saying in new-hire training: When you discover that you do not know whom to ask to handle something, just ask the PE.

Summary: This job is suitable for people who are highly submissive, have no specialized skill, and want to make money quickly.
