Workplace reviews and discussion: 馨洋行有限公司

Really, there are absolutely no advantages.

The position is for a graphic designer, but they also say that you will be responsible for all planning related to the official website, design for platforms in Taiwan and mainland China, and videos as well. The folders in the company’s shared drive are extremely disorganized, with nonsensical categorization, and the available materials are also extremely outdated.

The boss is very self-important. He is an elderly man who seems to think he is the emperor and that everyone else is his humble servant. When discussing something with you, no matter what opinion you express, he will shoot it down and may even scold you. Then he tells you to have a brain and think. He is absolutely not an elderly man who respects his employees. For example, he will bring up things from his era to make his point.

One office is a combination of two companies. The other company belongs to the boss’s son. His son seems to be a boss who can communicate reasonably well, and his attitude is very different from his father’s.

At the time, the department had no manager, so everything had to follow the instructions of a salesperson in the sales department. He was the boss’s favorite, so everyone had to listen to him. However, since he did not come from a marketing or planning background, his perspective and ideas were very limited.

They are very fond of firing people, and will lay employees off a few days before they are about to complete three months. The reasons for dismissal are usually quite far-fetched. I feel that they themselves do not even know what they want; everything is based on gut feeling. The position is truly always being advertised.

In summary: Unless you absolutely have no choice, do not join this company under any circumstances, and do not waste your time interviewing there—unless you want to be a humble servant.
