1. There is quite a bit of freedom at this small company, so it might be a good fit if you like slacking off. It seems the boss leaves the company in the afternoon.
2. Intern pay is considered very high in Taipei, but I recommend working as an intern for three days—the most worthwhile option—and it is also less likely that you will be pushed into doing extra miscellaneous tasks.
1. The boss keeps changing the compensation system, and even when there is video evidence, they will deny what happened.
2. They love swearing during meetings, and some female colleagues have said they were harassed with discriminatory language and felt uncomfortable.
3. Someone at the company has a very strong body odor, which everyone can smell when working in the same space (yes, the kind where there is only one person, and the person in the position most closely tied to this company).
4. A colleague once resigned and was threatened: “If you resign without finding someone to replace you, I won’t pay your salary. You can go sue me.”
5. Although it is a job platform, there are basically no in-house engineers; everything relies on outsourcing (and bugs are not handled very promptly).
Overall, I feel there is little point in working for a dishonest and law-breaking superior, and I really do not recommend it.
Unless someone in your family is ill, you have children to care for, or you are deeply in debt, do not come here. (In fact, the salary here cannot solve any of those problems anyway...)
