Workplace reviews and discussion: 峻盟國際股份有限公司

1. Convenient location: It is only a one-minute walk from Taipei City Hall MRT Station. You basically do not have to worry about where to eat lunch, either, since there are plenty of places to eat within 500 meters of the company.

|

2. No make-up workdays: The company does not require make-up workdays. When everyone else has to make up work or school, the company remains closed.

3. Flexible working hours: There are two systems. 1. Flexible hours: You only need to arrive at the company before 9:30 a.m.; after working eight hours (not including the one-hour break), you can leave. 2. Arrive before 9:00 a.m.: If you do this consistently for a month, you receive a perfect-attendance bonus of NT$2,000.

4. The work environment is relaxed, and employees change into slippers when they arrive.

5. The boss is not often at the company (appearing two or three days a week).

1. Professional expertise is shown very little respect. The job title and the actual work differ greatly. For example, the design department also manages the company's Facebook page, helps develop marketing strategies, writes proposals for events, and writes scripts; the front-end web developer helps develop marketing strategies, handles internet bills, manages all the apps, and handles internet-related affairs.

2. Projects are often obtained through the boss's connections rather than by bidding against other vendors, so the company often takes on projects that nobody in the company is qualified to handle. For example, although this is an integrated marketing company, it took on a network information maintenance project. Apart from the front-end web work, the Android and iOS developers and the back-end web developer were all outsourced, while the only in-house front-end web developer inexplicably became the information PM for the entire project.

3. The boss often has sudden flights of fancy and expects subordinates to do whatever he happens to think of. If someone offers a different opinion, the boss strongly argues against it and insists that the entire project follow his direction. If the direction were good, that might be acceptable, but the boss's suggestions are often exactly the points the client rejects.

4. The boss often forgets what he has said, or suddenly asks how something is going even though he never gave any instructions in the first place. He frequently promises clients that the company can handle something, when in fact the company has no relevant talent.

5. In practice, your salary will not be adjusted after you pass the probationary period.

6. Regarding the lack of respect for professional expertise mentioned above: for example, the boss will suddenly act like a designer, deciding that the text in a design is too small or that the colors do not look good and that the client will not like it. In reality, these are usually just internal opinions; after making changes for ages, senior management has not even shown the work to the client and keeps changing it on its own. The final product ends up a chaotic mess and gets rejected by the client, after which responsibility is shifted to the frontline employees who carried out the work. After the boss gets criticized by the client, he no longer dares attend meetings with the client and instead pushes supervisors and frontline employees out to take the blame.

7. All of the projects the boss takes on involve working with his friends, but his friends basically just talk and do not want to take responsibility. In meetings with clients, they make incredibly grand promises, then afterward keep pressuring the company's frontline employees about when things will be ready. In reality, delivering on those promises requires outsourcing or asking other people for help because the company has no relevant talent. As a result, project execution cannot keep up with the deadlines set by the grand promises they initially made.

8. Senior management's attitude toward work is extremely careless. They often forget things or delay them until the last moment before the deadline. For example, tender documents that need to be sent to the government are deliberately not sent to the printer until just a few hours before the bid deadline; or only after an event is over do they remember that they forgot to take certain photos, then ask the design department to Photoshop vases, fans, water buckets, and so on into the pictures.......

Conclusion: This is suitable for fresh graduates just entering the workforce who want to give it a try. Here, you can learn how to deal with all kinds of people who do not want to take responsibility and how to handle all kinds of absurd workplace situations. It is also a suitable place to develop emotional management skills. However, if you come to this company hoping to learn professional skills, you will basically learn nothing. Even your motivation to study and improve yourself at home will be completely drained by the absurd things that happen at the company all day.
