The view is excellent—you can see Taipei 101 directly. There are so many snacks that we can’t finish them before they expire. The colleagues are all around the same age, overtime isn’t required, and there’s an abundance of annual leave ɷ◡ɷ;
Before joining, I saw the online reviews and was scared out of my wits, but I still gritted my teeth and thought I’d give it a try. After joining, I found that things weren’t the same as described in the reviews. Later, after becoming familiar with my colleagues and asking them, I found out that there had been major changes in management, and the systems had been significantly revised. So I get along fairly well with my colleagues—we chat, gossip, and order takeout during work. I heard from colleagues that the military-style training in the past was genuinely terrifying, but now it’s more like being expected to learn independently. I really don’t know what happened to the old management style. Overtime isn’t specifically required either. Although clients sometimes drag things out past quitting time, our supervisor still urges us to leave work as soon as possible. It wasn’t until I moved to another agency that I realized being able to leave work on time really is a rare breath of fresh air in the advertising industry. Now, one person is basically being worked as if they were ten. This isn’t a promotional comment—just my personal experience~
The interview process is really long, and there’s also a second interview that lasts the whole day—it’s exhausting. Although it helped me, as someone without experience, build a lot of foundational knowledge, the pressure at the beginning was really intense, especially when the supervisor was watching me ><
People don’t talk much at work; everyone just stares at their screens, so the atmosphere isn’t very lively.
Clients are allowed to ask for anything, and requests are rarely refused. Too many services are provided beyond the original scope, which makes the work exhausting.
