Workplace reviews and discussion: KD_科定企業股份有限公司

1. Bonuses or profit sharing are offered for almost every position.

There is a guaranteed bonus for the first five months. Performance-based earnings have no ceiling, so there is no concern about employees earning too much. Even people in the same position can have substantial salary differences due to bonuses or overtime. However, the base salary is already quite high.

2. The benefits are good, including bonuses three times a year, bonuses, overtime pay, and so on.

Overall, the package is more generous than at other traditional manufacturing companies.

3. Colleagues get along well, and supervisors also take good care of their team members.

This probably depends a lot on the department, but speaking for the sales team here, our supervisor is quite supportive and responsible.

Sometimes we also have small get-togethers after work.

4. The base salary is high enough to cover everyday expenses. If you want to add more variety to your meals, just work a little harder to earn more bonuses. The salary is considered quite high, generally around NT$60,000—slightly more generous than my previous company. However, I eventually resigned because of the pressure and my physical condition.

1. Work is extremely busy.

There are many phone calls, and you also have to deal with customers’ negative emotions. The work is very varied, and there are often urgent ad hoc assignments. This traditional manufacturing company operates as if it were a tech company; the pace is as fast as a sea god.

2. The work environment is relatively quiet. Everyone takes their own work seriously, and the atmosphere during work hours is not particularly cheerful. Overtime depends on the department—some people leave right on time, while others... You need to be able to handle pressure, and it also depends heavily on your ability to manage your time.

3. You need to wear a uniform, and standards for dress and appearance are relatively strict. However, some people still have highlighted hair, so perhaps the martial-law era is finally over.

4. You have to take exams and undergo performance evaluations. Although I also had to memorize a sales manual at my previous company, I still found it somewhat stressful.
