Workplace reviews and discussion: 創空間概念股份有限公司

Can't think of any advantages to speak of

1. The various work processes are cumbersome, and some departments dump all of their work onto the designers. Basically, there isn't enough time to actually do design work unless you are very willing to work overtime on your own.

2. The abilities of the various managers are nothing special. For example, the director of one department only cares about their own performance and bonuses. They sign contracts by cutting prices, making it look as though they are very capable at closing deals, when in reality they obtain project contracts by offering design fees and engineering profits below market rates.

3. Clocking in and out is mandatory. Being late, leaving early, or forgetting to clock in will result in a salary deduction, but you will not receive overtime pay for working overtime (except for overtime spent in client meetings).

4. The bonus system is clearly defined and appears generous, but whether the bonuses are actually paid readily is a matter of opinion. You have to calculate and apply for the bonus yourself, and also provide a project completion report and proof of all contract attachments. The bonus is paid after the project is completed, the completion report is submitted, and all financial settlements are finalized. There is a very large gap between the bonuses for meeting and not meeting targets. Evaluate this for yourself.

5. There are many miscellaneous tasks beyond design-related work, as well as many reports and repetitive forms. In practice, this simply means that each manager's work is distributed among the designers. Most of it has no direct relevance to actual design work and is purely intended to make things easier and save time for management.

6. The company constantly advocates SOPs and standardized processes, but in practice everything depends on what the boss feels like. If a client makes unreasonable demands today, the company will still comply by producing drawings and quotations within the client's unreasonable timeframe. In reality, everything is done backwards, and when problems arise, the designer is blamed for negligence and incompetence. Simply put, this is a company where the boss has the final say; the SOP is just a slogan.

7. Management appears to be electronic, with all forms and attendance and leave management handled electronically, but it is actually full of flaws. There are a great many irregularities to accommodate the company's efforts to evade inspections by the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

8. The boss will talk to you all day about discussing design, but in reality you simply do not have the time to discuss design with them, nor are you given extra time to revise and review your designs. Supervisors only help debug your drawings. If you want to learn and pursue design in depth, evaluate this for yourself.

9. The company is essentially a large echo chamber. It appears warm and welcoming, with like-minded people, but in reality everyone is merely comforting one another while living in the same echo chamber. All the managers simply follow orders and lack autonomy; no one dares to contradict the boss.

10. Also, once you have decided to resign, the boss basically will not pay any further attention to you. They will not even help sign off on your resignation form. This is actually rather laughable: according to the vaunted SOP, everything is supposed to be approved by the managers of each department, yet the boss does not sign it themselves.

11. When you raise many issues with your direct supervisor, you receive no substantive feedback. Higher-level supervisors will only blame you for not reporting the matter further up, but the actual situation depends on whether the company carefully considers matters when making decisions, and whether your supervisor really raised your issue with their superiors or simply let it sink without a trace.

Conclusion: If you are considering joining this company, it is recommended that you ask around and learn about it from multiple sources before deciding. The turnover rate among junior employees is exceptionally high, the compensation is mediocre, and you should assess the working hours for yourself. If you are as durable as a De Li Ka card, then...
