In the bustling city center, about a five-minute walk from Zhongxiao Xinsheng MRT Station.

1. The level of freedom falls somewhat short of what one might imagine from a foreign company. The flexible working hours require eight hours per day, with clock-in between 8:30 and 9:30, and a full eight hours of working time must be completed. If you leave your seat midway through the day (for around fifteen minutes), your supervisor will "check in" on you. There is also no flexibility regarding leave. For example, if you want to take the afternoon off and plan to take leave until 18:00, because you arrived at 9:01 in the morning, you must take leave until 18:30, as the minimum leave unit is 30 minutes.

2. The benefits listed on the job-search website differ from the actual benefits.

a. The company is neither listed nor OTC-listed, yet it says employees will receive stock; in practice, there is no commitment or alternative arrangement.

b. The health examination requirements are cumbersome. For rank-and-file employees (those whose titles are below vice president), health examinations are required once every two years, with a subsidy of NT$3,600 for those under 40 and NT$4,500 for those aged 40 or above.

c. The year-end bonus is fixed at one month.

3. The company is small but has many supervisors. Frontline employees are expected to be jacks-of-all-trades, while the allocation of responsibilities is extremely unclear. During interviews, the duties of the position are described vaguely, but the actual work is far beyond what one could imagine. Raising concerns is ineffective: the relevant supervisors do not understand the work, yet do not care about the corresponding responsibilities. When urgent tasks arise, they are delegated downward; when the results are good, the supervisor takes the credit. In addition, even taking legitimate unpaid leave in accordance with company policy may result in comments that your attendance is poor.

4. Those in higher positions always say that the company is making money and paint all kinds of rosy pictures, but they are extremely stingy with every R&D and activity budget. They also rely on applications for government subsidies, causing all kinds of projects to remain indefinitely stalled from planning through execution.

5. A gloomy atmosphere pervades the company. Employees are always working at their desks; otherwise, they are in the meeting room.
