Workplace reviews and discussion: 艾爾卡科技有限公司

The colleagues are very nice, and the work atmosphere is good.

They don’t force you to work overtime.

This company does not have a comprehensive “new hire training” program. It seems to assume that you should already know what to do, including where to get the tools and how to use them. However, it may also be because they rarely have new hires, so they are unfamiliar with these procedures?

Moreover, their concept of time is extremely poor. They say one thing and do another: there is no clock, and no bell rings when it is time to take a break or get off work. And don’t expect to be compensated for extra time worked. It seems as though it is unacceptable for you to quibble over those ten or twenty minutes, yet they do not allow you to be even one or two minutes late.

Not only are you not allowed to be one or two minutes late, they even expect you to enter the production line twenty minutes early.

The staff have the same problem. Someone often shouts, “It’s break time,” but they continue with the work at hand, acting so naturally that it feels as if you were the only one who hallucinated hearing it. This also happens when there are only five to ten minutes left before the end of the workday, but the task in front of you still requires half an hour to finish.

As for overtime, the supervisors and staff behave so naturally that you may think it is not overtime but normal working hours. After overtime ends, the staff also create an atmosphere of reluctance and unwillingness to leave work, which leaves me extremely puzzled and makes me wonder whether they are robots incapable of feeling fatigue.
