Workplace reviews and discussion: 富邦媒體科技股份有限公司(富邦momo)

The visuals are quite impressive and refined. I heard there is a three-month year-end bonus, provided you can make it through a year.

1. The equipment is outdated. An i5 processor absolutely lags when handling files over 300 MB. You cannot use Chrome because web software becomes extremely slow. There are only 3 image-library accounts for 10 employees, but once you log in, you have to submit the design within the same day.

2. The culture of verbal bullying by managers has been deeply entrenched for 10 years. To save themselves trouble, they say the same things to newcomers handling basic equipment after joining the company: “No one has the same problems as you,” “I’ve been here for 10 years and have never seen a designer like you,” “Why can’t you use the computer that everyone else can use?” “Did you ask any questions? (loudly)” “Why didn’t you ask questions?”

3. There are various small cliques among coworkers. They order lunch boxes and drinks privately among themselves. When they see a newcomer, they act as if they are invisible; when greeted proactively, they avoid eye contact.

4. Reporting problems will not get you a response. Coworkers often look impatient when you ask them questions.

5. There is no respect whatsoever overall. They will not tell you what needs to be adjusted, nor will they tell you what kind of designs the manager likes. You can only observe for yourself or try to win her favor. If your design skills are very strong, you can identify the design they want under a very rushed work pace (and a very noisy work environment), and you can keep demonstrating loyalty to the “senior manager” like a pug, then you can obtain the resources you should have. All resources are decided by the senior manager. It depends on the senior manager’s impression of you. If they have a bad impression of you, they will interfere endlessly, from the way you send emails to the way you handle matters (targeting you). They will also be unfriendly toward you personally. Even coworkers who have been there for more than seven years are occasionally scolded.

6. They only start making adjustments and acting friendly when someone is about to leave. The superior acts friendly only to avoid adding another negative review. Coworkers will never want to help you if it does not concern them. The superior manager’s act of forcing people to leave seems to be performed very smoothly and often: they first loudly yell at you not to tell outsiders that they bullied you, say that you now think everyone is targeting you, open your résumé and start criticizing your age and seniority, and berate you in various ways to force you to resign voluntarily.

7. During the project-file period, the contact person may request revisions after approval, and the superior may change the name whenever they want. Visual materials are also frequently changed in various ways, so it is impossible not to work overtime.

If you can be 100% sure that you will not encounter any of the worst situations above, then go in bravely. This is the ecosystem inside; the coworkers’ visuals are quite impressive and refined.
