Workplace reviews and discussion: 網際威信股份有限公司 內湖科

Flexible working hours; even when colleagues are very late, management acts as if nothing happened.

Promotions are entirely dependent on the manager’s mood, and so are raises. A raise is usually only around 2,000, and it isn’t even given every year. During the interview, they made it sound like there was a well-established system, but that also depends on the manager’s mood. Knowing how to flatter the higher-ups is genuinely very important. The project-planning ability of upper management gets worse year after year, and several new projects have been taken on at a loss, while also reducing everyone’s year-end bonus.

In previous years, if you worked overtime, they were fairly proactive about paying overtime. But this year, they are rather unwilling to pay it. When asking people to work overtime, they put on one face; when it is actually time to pay the overtime, they put on a completely different face.

In recent years, the workload has kept increasing while annual salaries have kept decreasing. Every year they promise grand things, but in the end it always turns out differently. Also, they cannot retain experienced employees, because upper management sacrifices senior employees’ rights and benefits in order to retain new hires. In short, staying for a year or two is still okay, but if you draw the short straw year after year, that’s another story...
