Workplace reviews and discussion: 新視界整合行銷有限公司

The advantages may depend on whether you happen to meet good colleagues!

It depends on the situation. Sometimes you may meet good colleagues who help each other out; other times, colleagues may dislike each other and openly express their dissatisfaction with one another.

It is also possible for editors and executive planners to have conflicts, so it depends on what the situation is like during the period you work there.

There are really too many to list. I believe you will know that the following comments are all true after reading them. To put it simply, when one person says that this company is bad, they may be spreading rumors. But when many people say that this company is bad, you should think about whether the company really has problems or whether we are all spreading rumors recklessly.

First | How much salary is offered

There is no salary confidentiality here; almost everyone knows roughly how much everyone else earns. Whether the salary is proportional to the workload depends on whether you dare to negotiate your salary at the beginning. You might work hard for more than a year and reach NT$35,000, while the company hires a new master’s graduate at more than NT$35,000 from the start. That said, this company is quite willing to offer high salaries; there have even been cases of monthly salaries above NT$40,000. However, once you name your expected salary, you also have to demonstrate the corresponding work ability.

Second | Salary structure

The salary structure is seriously problematic. I raised this issue when I was still employed, but in the end they brushed it off with vague answers. To get to the point, this company’s salary structure is divided into “base salary,” “professional allowance,” “overtime pay,” and “perfect-attendance bonus.” For example, if your salary is NT$30,000, your base salary is NT$26,000, which complies with the Labor Standards Act, and the remaining professional allowance and overtime pay make up the difference to NT$30,000. You may wonder whether there is an annual bonus. This company does not have an annual bonus; it only has a “full-year bonus.” What is a full-year bonus? If you joined on May 1, 2023, you would receive the full-year bonus in June of the following year—that is, the month after May 1. The full year is counted at the end of April. If you resign before then, can you receive the bonus? The answer is NO. If you submit your resignation in mid-May, can you receive it? The answer is uncertain. Seriously, don’t let the bonus become an issue—just resign after you receive it, unless you really do not care.

Second and a half | Will money be deducted?

Yes. Someone used to be late too many times, which led the company to implement this policy. Because the salary includes a perfect-attendance bonus, as soon as you are late or take leave, you lose the bonus, and you will also be charged for the lateness. In other words, you are punished twice. I previously heard that someone had raised the issue that the perfect-attendance bonus should not be included in the salary structure, but should instead be used as an extra incentive. The supervisor simply said that the salary structure was determined by the company, that it was none of our business, and that they did not need to inform us.

In addition, the company claims to operate under a responsibility-based system while also following a standard office-worker system. It requires employees to arrive punctually, but the workload is arranged in a way that forces you to work overtime to finish it. As mentioned below, you may have to work into the evening or even the middle of the night, but there is no overtime pay because overtime pay is already included in the salary structure—so, officially, the company has already paid you overtime.

Third | Job duties

You work on television programs and government tenders. Television programs are relatively easier. You can look up the company’s YouTube channel yourself. The main issue is the government tenders. I say this sincerely: the boss often puts off starting the tender work until the last two or three days, which is why overtime happens. Even after you finish, revisions are required, and the first version you produce is absolutely never what the boss wants; it will definitely be revised, and you may even be required to work overtime to make the changes. The boss’s thinking is very simple: he believes writing a tender proposal is easy and that he could complete more than half of one in a day. Of course!!! He can write it however he wants, but when we write it, we have to figure out what the boss wants. Besides guessing, we also need creativity and quality. If it does not meet his expectations, he will replace it. Once, for a tender of a similar type, he thought we could simply apply a template. Then, when you did that, he scolded you for applying it that way, saying that not every tender could simply be copied from a template!! I imagine you have many questions. He constantly contradicts himself. So, when he scolds you, just let it go in one ear and out the other; there is no need to take it too seriously. That is just the kind of person he is.

That is about it for now. There is much more in the other comments. The colleagues who harassed people have also all resigned. Oh, right—don’t expect too much from the year-end banquet. It is just an event where the boss wants to show off. Other than getting drunk, the boss has no raffle and gives out no bonuses; everything is about showing off how impressive he is. Definitely do not bring your family, because the boss may harass them. Take note.
