Workplace reviews and discussion: 中景科技股份有限公司

1. No overtime

2. Bright office environment

1. It is a family business that appears to be a very modern 3C company on the surface, but is actually just a private-label company with poor quality. You can check the Google reviews. Also, a company with 50 employees has no online attendance system and relies solely on manually completed forms—quite bizarre.

2. Everyone has to clean every morning. Although work starts at 8:30 a.m., half an hour is set aside for cleaning. Not everyone in the office does the cleaning, either—at this company, some jobs are considered more prestigious than others, so people in certain positions do not sweep floors or handle other general affairs. Employees also have to take turns arriving early to open the office.

3. Cleaning up the leftovers left in the refrigerator by the owner's family, and washing dishes and reheating food for them.

4. The long-serving employees are quite good at slacking off; if they can stay in the office, they avoid going out to conduct business.

5. Whenever something goes wrong, responsibility is pushed downward. Supervisors are always pretending to have forgotten what happened and distancing themselves from responsibility.

6. Whenever the boss has nothing to do and is idle, he comes out to interfere in everything. The air conditioning and lights may be repeatedly switched on and off. He also jumps from e-commerce to purchasing to design, and will even sit beside you watching you fill out forms or revise designs. He likes calling employees over to stand around him while he talks about things of little substance. Efficiency would probably be better without his interference.

7. The company is also rather insincere toward its employees, cutting costs here and there. One Winter Solstice, two people had to share one bowl of tangyuan, and one year employees were told that the tangyuan were in the freezer and they could cook them themselves if they wanted some. Company trips are also planned around what the owner's family likes, without regard for employees' opinions. Only after participation dropped did they reluctantly change the itinerary.

8. The worst part was when an employee tested positive and took leave: the company knew but did not disclose it. Later, the news spread among employees, forcing the company to address it. Even then, everyone continued working as usual, with no proper isolation measures at all—not even disinfection. The company would not allow employees to work from home.

If you want to coast until retirement and can tolerate all of the above, I would actually recommend this company. You work regular hours, but there is not much challenge, and the company does not seem to be growing much either. You will not be able to build up much expertise.
