Workplace reviews and discussion: 百加資通股份有限公司

Teacher Wu Kuo-lun was essentially my mentor and boss! I first took his classes at Soochow University, and was later invited to join the team... Starting out at a rather half-baked beginner level, I developed fairly solid fundamentals under Teacher Wu’s guidance! I was one of the employees who joined early, back when we were still on Chang’an East Road. When a machine broke down, I even had to go to the Zhan Guo Ce server room, carry it home, and replace the hard drive myself. It was also an era when I would walk with Teacher Wu to Guanghua to pick out office computers, then call a taxi to bring them back. Later, we moved to Shandao Temple; I believe you’re all still there?

This company should be a great place for recent graduates to build and hone their fundamentals.

I resigned after working there for only a little over a year because I received an invitation for a better offer. I’m not entirely sure whether the compensation at this company could be considered very good, but at the time, it seemed quite difficult to earn NT$600,000 a year. I’m not sure what the situation is now; based on the number of companies with officially successful cases and the annual service fees, I think reaching NT$1 million would also be relatively difficult.

So it’s a very good company for honing your fundamentals, but not a place that’s suitable for staying once you’ve become more experienced and capable.
