Workplace reviews and discussion: 煥德科技股份有限公司

1. The department manager is very nice, and you can bring up any ideas you have.

2. The company atmosphere is very relaxed, and overtime is not required. It is quite suitable for people who have a side business to run or have children. It is also suitable for people who are not short of money and have no particular goals, and just want stability.

3. Benefits: snacks (coffee, milk, cookies), a NT$500 birthday cash gift, year-end bonus, year-end dinner, and a company meal once a year.

4. You can take leave often; take it whenever you want—just tell your manager.

1. Location: It is between Yongchun and Xiangshan. The walk from the MRT station to the company takes about 10 minutes, so it is somewhat far. The office is a cramped split-level space that is crowded and poorly ventilated.

2. During the interview, they said there would be at least one month’s year-end bonus and no work on make-up workdays, but in fact neither is true. There are also no holiday cash bonuses.

3. There is no promotion or salary-increase system. Basically, your salary stays at what was agreed upon during the interview.

4. Every time there is a new product, they urge marketing to write the packaging, instruction manual, and copy before even seeing a sample. Aside from clairvoyance, there is really no other way to do it. They always say everything is urgent and rushed, but months later there still is not even a sample.

5. Amazing coworkers: a salesperson who knows nothing about the company’s own products and whose English is not very good. A coworker who watches dramas behind a privacy screen until they cry / browses PTT (but is very good at reporting people—whenever they see someone away from their seat, they report it to the manager ^^). A manager who refuses to maintain the air conditioner to save a little money, even when it is filthy and unbearably smelly, and only calls someone to repair it after it starts spraying water. The list goes on...

6. Information does not circulate, responsibilities are unclear, and everyone is very good at passing the buck. There is no PM or quality-control staff, so products often have problems. Almost every product has major issues after launch, and entire batches being defective is a common occurrence.

7. The longer you stay, the more you feel disconnected from society. It is rather frightening.

**The previous positive interview review was deliberately written with extreme beautification and embellishment because they were afraid they could not find a customer-service scapegoat ^^
