1. During my tenure, salaries were paid on time, and the company genuinely made efforts in this regard, which deserves recognition.
2. The company hopes its products can serve multiple industries, so you can interact with clients from different industries and broaden your horizons.
3. The workforce skews young. Younger people tend to be less territorial, and the early stages of the job may be full of enthusiasm.
4. One office is in a prime area of “Tianlong Country,” so you can proudly say, “I work in Xinyi District”—what a glamorous thing to say.
5. Another office is about to be established near Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, so you can go straight to Songyan after work and become an artsy young person.
6. Some colleagues have extremely high emotional intelligence. They can do the work of three people without batting an eyelid—definitely something to learn from.
7. The company provides premium coffee beans and a premium coffee machine. The coffee is genuinely good and saves you the cost of a daily Americano.
8. The Taipei office has million-dollar night views, and the Hsinchu office is next to a park spanning thousands of ping. The physical environments are quite good.
9. When you cannot convince yourself, you will be trained to reflect on yourself and try to look at an issue from multiple perspectives.
10. Senior executives can be contacted to discuss company matters on both weekdays and holidays, and they will respond.
1. The positioning, direction, and core focus of the company’s products change rapidly. The company is still working to find the best balance between decision-making flexibility and product quality.
2. There are currently three offices, so many internal processes urgently need to be digitized.
3. The company is committed to going public or becoming listed on the OTC market, so there is a gap between “product customer needs” and “capital-market investor needs.”
That is all I will say. Every company has its problems; bosses have matters they need to handle, and employees have their own needs.
From the boss’s perspective, the company’s software products must face competition in the free market: there must be orders before there is funding to pay salaries.
From the employees’ perspective, compensation, salary, job satisfaction, and so on must also face the challenges of the free labor market.
If your expectations are simply to be paid on time and not work yourself to the bone, this place is still acceptable. Otherwise… well…
Many people once came in full of enthusiasm, myself included, hoping to make a difference. Some changes and modest achievements were indeed made.
There is no need to dig up old posts and ask the original poster, “What do you think now about what you wrote back then?”
Isn’t the fact that things are so different from the beginning, and that one is unable to do more, precisely why one considers leaving? I imagine Q is not the only person to have had this thought.
Work is like dating: after getting together, if it works, you stay; if it does not, you leave. I will only briefly mention the drawbacks—let’s just say I dreamed them.
I chose “average” as the rating; consider it my final act of kindness.
