The year-end bonus plus performance bonus is very generous, and there are many benefits.

Extremely bureaucratic. If you don’t have connections, you’re on your own. Whether during meetings and discussions or when writing reports and reviews, supervisors always say they don’t understand, refuse to listen to explanations, and send things back directly. Although HR always says that bonuses are based on the evaluation results, the authority to decide everything lies with the supervisor—you can see the bonuses but can’t get them. HR also cuts your salary first, then tells you that we are paid based on annual salary.

Departmental training is completely nonexistent. When something goes wrong, you have to shoulder the responsibility yourself, and you’ll still be blamed for not doing your utmost. They will criticize and humiliate you until the supervisor is satisfied.

Many long-serving supervisors refuse to retire and are extremely old-fashioned in their thinking. Don’t expect to get promoted. There is no overtime pay; it’s a responsibility-based system. The company will force you to adjust your attendance times, otherwise it will keep sending notifications.

In short, it’s an extremely old-fashioned company.
