Workplace reviews and discussion: 菱生精密工業股份有限公司

No, I recommend that everyone read the content below.

The following are solely my personal opinions; please take them for reference only:

The interview for the NT$35K operator position is basically not difficult at all. As long as you can write, you might be hired.

Before hiring, they will not tell you how much the base salary is. After working for a month and seeing the payslip, I almost had a stroke! The base salary is not even NT$20,000—not even for engineers. The 2.15-month year-end bonus is also calculated based on the base salary...

The workday is 12 hours. After deducting break time, the company counts it as 10.5 working hours per day, and there are almost always 21 working days per month. Overtime is possible, and confirmed overtime pay will be provided when you work overtime.

The situation is better for engineers. If you work every day of the month, the salary is NT$46,000, though it also involves 12-hour shifts. However, the company effectively deducts the perfect-attendance bonus: being two minutes late, taking annual leave, or taking vaccine leave means losing the NT$2,500 perfect-attendance bonus 💸. But the company says this is not an attendance bonus, only a work incentive bonus. Yet it is included in the NT$46,000 salary structure. I don't know whether this is right. I didn't study much, so if anyone knows, please leave a comment and tell me.

After joining the company, if there is something you don't know, the long-serving old-timers will push responsibility back and forth. No one thinks it is their own job. After asking everyone about the same matter, you may still be told to ask the first person you asked. I don't know whether they genuinely don't know or whether they really can be this indifferent. If you can accept this kind of work environment, it is very suitable for taking it easy until retirement.
