Workplace reviews and discussion: 歐立利國際展覽設計股份有限公司

I am a graphic designer who has left the company. Overall, it is a company that can serve as a stepping stone. There are plenty of resources, and of course you should move on when a better opportunity comes along. Basically, overtime is rarely necessary. I only saw the 3D designers working overtime frequently, but they can receive performance bonuses (I heard they are quite high!), so I think it should be fine if they are paid well. My work was very straightforward, and I was not asked to do anything outside of design, which I thought was great. The outsourcing is also handled by other departments, so you really only need to focus on design. The colleagues get along well and are easy to work with. The company has a cat named Oululu who is the heart of the entire company. When the administration sends an email asking everyone to look for Oululu after the cat goes missing, all the employees spontaneously put down their work and search together. It is all because Oululu is too adorable. The benefits are also pretty good: in addition to the standard holiday bonuses, there is an unlimited supply of free fruit every week, a birthday cash gift each month, and a perfect-attendance bonus of 1,500.

Drawbacks

The boss has a design background, so her standards are extremely, extremely, extremely high—frighteningly high. Your work may be revised hundreds of millions of times (depending on the project; some things do not need to go through her). Even when the deadline is already tight, she may still request major revisions. At times like that, you can only work overtime. However, the chances of having a project that is both extremely urgent and subject to major revisions are about once or twice a year. In the end, the finished work is good, since she does have a design background. The boss's emotional shifts can catch you off guard. If you cannot keep up with her thinking, you should expect to be scolded. You need to be able to handle a lot of pressure to work under her. As for company trips, I basically feel that there are none, because you have to use your own vacation days to arrange time off. The company-travel subsidies also vary by seniority. If that is the case, I would rather pay for an overseas trip myself. I do not know how many years of service it takes before the company-travel subsidy becomes substantial.
