1. The company pays overtime without making a fuss.

2. The job duties do not change, so it is more suitable for people who like monotonous, repetitive work. The actual work is also unrelated to the business described on the company website; it involves handling paperwork for immigration applications to the United States.

3. There are gift bonuses for the three major holidays (NT$1,000), and the annual salary is basically guaranteed for 14 months (calculated proportionally based on the start date).

4. The office air conditioning is extremely strong, and tea, drinks, and snacks are available.

5. There is little interpersonal interaction, so it is more suitable for people who like working independently.

6. The salary is slightly above average.

Leaving within one year requires paying back one month’s salary (in violation of the Labor Standards Act). HR will say that the company provides professional training, but it is recommended that you call the Ministry of Labor to verify this. (The answer I received was that ordinary onboarding training does not require reimbursement.)

1. Many colleagues have bad tempers, and the office atmosphere is cold and hostile. Unless you socialize with people privately, there is almost no interaction.

2. There is no path for promotion (although there is a raise after completing one and a half years). Supervisors have almost no management or coordination skills, and they do not handle conflicts among employees.

3. The work is repetitive and boring, consisting entirely of handling minor details in documents.

4. New employees are not allowed to take national holidays off. There is no double pay that day, but compensatory leave is provided.

5. Onboarding training is lax, with the expectation that employees will learn while working. However, if you encounter a colleague with a bad temper, it can be extremely painful. (Most of the senior employees have bad tempers...)

6. Although certain colleagues with poor emotional management often chat online and do things unrelated to work themselves, and even laugh loudly, they are extremely harsh about other people’s work performance. They not only vent their tempers by slamming keyboards and mice at their desks, but also go around complaining about trivial aspects of other colleagues’ personal lives.

7. There are no benefits such as employee trips, year-end parties, subsidies for further education, or employee courses.

8. If you are unlucky enough to be assigned to a more demanding team, it is normal for senior employees to work three or four hours of overtime a day, and you may also be emotionally pressured into working overtime.
