1. The employees are easy to get along with and help one another.
2. Convenient transportation: close to Taipei Main Station, with lots of good food in the rear station area.
3. There is a monthly meeting with snacks and drinks.
4. One domestic employee trip each year, plus holiday gift vouchers.
5. One month’s year-end bonus.
1. Before a salary adjustment, the number of projects increases according to seniority.
Don't believe the supervisor's sales pitch: taking on one more project supposedly comes with an additional bonus.
After a salary adjustment, you will have to take on endless miscellaneous tasks (including the supervisor's work) and projects.
For capable employees, the pace at which projects are added will be even faster.
2. Management positions are often filled by parachuted-in personnel.
Incompetent ones: They only give employees endless elementary-school-level assignments and throw the employees' problems back to them to handle.
Classless ones: They will force employees out; if you do not comply with their wishes, they will randomly cut your shifts.
Those looking for a partner: They put proper work last and like to take an interest in every detail of the opposite sex's affairs (with good looks preferred).
Theatrical types: They only pretend to be busy in front of senior executives and work overtime every day.
3. The company-provided communication software allows management to monitor the content of employees' conversations (depending on the manager's character). Managers who are petty and hold grudges will use it to retaliate personally.
4. If an employee is physically unwell, the supervisor may still require them to come to work while sick, simply because of their KPI.
Supervisors who usually empathize with employees will help cover the line (from another department).
5. Every year, the company plays musical chairs, making employees change seats (Taipei > Banqiao, or different floors in Taipei). If you encounter a troublesome supervisor, the department may also be changed from time to time.
