Workplace reviews and discussion: 正官庄股份有限公司

This post was submitted by a user and reflects their personal experience or opinion. The publication date is not an employment or interview date.
1. During interviews, the company gives away company products, many of which are within a year of their expiration date.
2. Overtime can be exchanged for time off, with requests registered on paper. (You know, and I know, the purpose of registering on paper.)
3. For overtime in the evening, you can claim up to NT$300 for a meal. If you finish work at 10 p.m., you can take a taxi home, paid for by the company.
4. When the Korean headquarters has a holiday, Taiwan may have the opportunity to take the day off as well.
5. I heard that the company will move to a new office next year. However, I also heard that the staff handling the move are having a terrible time (the supervisor is making a mess of things).
1. This company has a bias toward brand names in interviews; having worked at a large company or studied abroad is a plus.
2. When the Korean chairman or expatriate employees’ time is up, they return to Korea. The company’s culture and practices change whenever people are replaced, and employee turnover is the same. A bunch of people have left this year, including me. =.=
3. Korean managers say all the right things in meetings and claim that anything solvable with money can be handled (in other words, they spend money recklessly), but when it comes time for approval, they nitpick.
4. This company has no IT staff, so you have to figure out the settings and the Korean systems yourself (what a joke).
5. After all, it is a Korean company, so speaking Korean is naturally a plus. Having connections with Korea will also give you extra points in hiring.
