Workplace reviews and discussion: 台灣微告股份有限公司

1. All my colleagues are very young, so it’s easy to chat with them

2. Flexible working hours

3. You do and learn a bit of everything

Cons

Let me get straight to the point: I personally do not recommend working here.

Let me explain the cons in detail.

1. The colleagues are very young because this place prefers people without much work experience. Why? You can think about that yourself.

People with experience usually don’t stay here for long. I’ve seen people being driven out and pressured to leave, so experienced professionals should choose carefully.

2. The young Japanese boss judges people rather than the work, changes decisions constantly, and issues orders one day only to change them the next. To put it nicely, you could say they like constant challenges, but from what I’ve seen, many of those challenges have failed.

They also seem to enjoy changing the organizational structure repeatedly. I’ve seen colleagues switch departments almost every six months.

3. You do everything because there is no clear division of responsibilities. Besides your own work, you will often do work that would normally be assigned to interns.

The advantage is that you learn everything; the disadvantage is that you don’t specialize in anything, like a useless character with mediocre skills in a game.

4. Since everyone is very young, most people have only a few years of work experience. You’ll find that it seems like no one is particularly professional.

Whenever decisions are made, they rely on gut feelings and intuition. As for whether there is professional senior staff to train newcomers? Hard to say.

5. The job listing says there is a fixed stress-relief allowance, but in reality, it is not necessarily provided every month. The snack cabinet has also gotten less well-stocked.

Especially after the new boss took over, I personally felt that the company became much stingier with money. It depends on whether that bothers you.

6. After you resign, the boss will “kindly invite you for a discussion” and ask you to “use up all your annual leave.”

If you say you don’t want to take it, can you exchange it for money? I can only say that I asked, but it didn’t work out, haha. It depends on whether you want to involve the labor bureau.

7. There will still be work requiring an immediate response after working hours and on holidays, and the company requires you to reply within 30 minutes.

You might ask, “Isn’t that considered overtime? Will there be overtime pay?” Well, they don’t require overtime here—we call it volunteer service, hehe. Of course, there’s no pay~ Please assess this for yourself.
