Workplace reviews and discussion: 域動行銷股份有限公司

1. Very close to the MRT station, convenient for commuting, with lots of inexpensive food nearby

2. Half a day off before special holidays

3. Flexible working hours, allowing you to control your own clock-in and clock-out times

4. Company events, e.g., sports day, gift exchanges, etc. (They regularly use these as promotional material for their “happy enterprise” image—it’s hilarious)

That’s all I can think of for now

1. You only find out after joining the company that there is a welfare fund deduction. However, instead of deducting 0.5% of your salary as stipulated by the Labor Standards Act, the deduction is based on your individual salary bracket, which works out to approximately 1.3–1.5%.

2. There are hardly any benefits during the three-month probationary period (don’t even think about bonuses or year-end red envelopes). The welfare fund deduction only officially begins after you pass the probationary evaluation.

3. Bonuses and year-end bonuses are basically determined by how well you curry favor with the boss, right? The New Year’s work-start bonus, birthday bonus, and the three seasonal bonuses are all $600.

4. You need to provide your own laptop. The monthly subsidy for using your own laptop is $800 and is included in salary calculations. If you don’t have a laptop, buy one yourself before coming to work ^^

5. Coffee, milk, snacks, and drinks all cost extra, ranging from $10 to $20. Extremely stingy.

6. Flexible app-based working hours—for example, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with a 1.5-hour break. It feels like they nitpick over every half hour of working time.

7. After the probationary period, annual leave is granted proportionally at seven days per year in accordance with the Labor Standards Act. However, if your departure date is less than one year after your start date, all unused annual leave is deducted from your pay as personal leave.

8. You can’t resign in accordance with the Labor Standards Act; you have to notify your supervisor one month in advance?

9. Some of the company’s benefits look available but are actually inaccessible; you need at least two years of seniority to receive certain subsidies.

10. The company’s employees are young. As long as you stay long enough and win the boss’s favor, you can be given a managerial position—another kind of workplace superpower, I suppose ^^
