Workplace reviews and discussion: 皓展資訊股份有限公司

None

The company’s primary business is taking on outsourced projects,

government tenders, and keeping costs as low as possible,

as well as developing customized functions.

The boss bragged about being located in Zhonghe

and investing in Yuansheng, a hardware OEM manufacturer.

The goal was to integrate software and hardware with the other party.

The other company’s boss was generous and directly acquired a stake,

so the company’s capital increased.

After that, the boss would occasionally give everyone pep talks,

saying the company would go public within five years,

while talking about a bonus system (which in reality did not exist at all),

and looking at the boss’s luxury-brand watches,

as well as remembering seeing the boss’s newly replaced car in the parking lot.

The year-end bonus was basically just one month’s salary.

UI/UX Designer

It took an entire year to get Adobe Illustrator approved.

The reason was that the company prepared an annual budget.

A Mac computer was out of the question, of course—there was none.

Designers had to bring their own computers.

There were not enough front-end engineers,

so designers also had to write front-end code.

The company encouraged developing multiple skills and becoming T-shaped talent.

The boss wanted you to keep copying old projects

and create templates, then copy and paste to deliver after the PM secured a new project.

When the pandemic was severe, colleagues in hard-hit areas were allowed to WFH,

but when I arrived at the office, I found that 70% of colleagues still came to work regardless.

As time has passed, the current situation is not much different from what was described in this post.
