Workplace reviews and discussion: 中華工程股份有限公司

I am probably the most qualified person to write this review.

I joined on 113.08.19, with seven years of experience as an SI engineer plus seven years in MIS.

On my second day at work, I submitted my resignation and was persuaded to stay.

On my third day, I submitted my resignation for the second time and was persuaded to stay again.

On my fourth day, I had completely given up and submitted my resignation, and they did not try to retain me.

On my fifth day at work, my resignation form had already been completed.

Company culture, management, and overtime are all tolerable, but the salary has to be commensurate.

What made me furious was the colleague who reported to work two weeks before me (and was assigned to collaborate with me):

1. His professional skills are questionable!? Communicating with him only makes me angry.

2. He lacks the ability to think independently; he cannot even use Google or Google Maps.

3. His grade and title are both one level higher than mine! That means my salary should be lower than his! I raised this with the manager, but the manager tried to fob me off by saying that job grade does not equal salary!...

4. The manager constantly says there is no time and that they are very busy. Did they actually read the reports I submitted? Did they understand them? Despite lacking sufficient professional skills, the manager often imposes incorrect ideas on subordinates and demands that they implement them! A manager's responsibility is management! Technical managers are naturally less familiar with some technical areas, but this manager also refuses to delegate authority to capable subordinates.

5. On my first day, I was promised that a report would be provided on Friday. I completed it and proposed a solution. Whether my report could be understood or implemented was no longer within my control.

6. This was the first time I had heard of a major SI company refusing an equipment loan-and-testing request from a listed company as large as China Engineering Corporation!?

7. Yesterday, I was called in to participate in a video conference with a vendor. The vendor's participant was the executive vice president of sales (sales staff usually ask engineers for support), and then I heard two people unfamiliar with technology talking past each other... Then the topic of whether FortiGate SD-WAN could be established over a single link came up. The sales executive vice president said it could not be done! I could not help laughing when I heard that (the corners of my mouth were already turning up). From the initial interview to the second interview (one month), I was able to implement an SD-WAN lab, and I even implemented it at home using a non-routable external IP...

Looking at July's KPIs, I see a proposal to hire professional talent at high salaries!? All I see is someone receiving a high salary but working inefficiently! By my third day, I had already identified problems in the Information Services Department and proposed solutions, yet my job grade is lower than his...

If any senior executives from China Engineering Corporation are paying attention here,

please take a closer look at the reports I submitted!

1. The manager does not assign people according to their abilities. Instead of consulting or discussing technical matters with the senior former SI engineer right in front of them, the manager argues with the vendor (who only has superficial knowledge) based on incorrect concepts!

2. After I submitted reports, I do not even know whether the manager read them or understood them. The manager said they would discuss them with me, but still stood me up...

3. The colleague responsible for liaising with the vendor clearly cannot engage in a technical conversation with the vendor's engineers. Even when merely discussing issues with me, they only understood my responses superficially.

Since I had only been employed for five days, other benefits were unknown.
