Workplace reviews and discussion: 衡碁科技有限公司

You can basically eat whatever you see in the kitchen.

The coworkers are pretty nice and not too annoying.

There is no limit on overtime.

More or less the same as another review.

They basically teach you once and then leave you on your own halfway. They won’t proactively ask about your progress.

If you don’t know something, you can only go into the office to ask.

(The testing location is sometimes not in the office; it may be next to the lobby.)

When I first started, the orders may have just reached a lull, so I did relatively simple tasks such as cleaning, visual inspections, and putting things into boxes.

After more orders came in, I was basically testing every day.

Not long after I started, the engineers would ask the other assistants nearby about my progress, why my testing was taking so long, or question whether my procedures were correct.

But sometimes I was right there beside them. It would have been faster to ask me directly instead of going through other people.

Also, usually after the engineers asked, the others would then come ask me about my progress or what problems I was having.

But sometimes I felt really helpless. After all, you can’t compare someone who just started with the speed of an experienced employee (right?).

Also,

work assignments are not organized at all, and there is no handover.

After finishing one round, I have to ask what I should do in the next round.

After finishing that round, I have to ask again. It’s really annoying.

Sometimes they can’t give me a schedule at all.

Maybe the more difficult model in the next round has to be handled by an experienced worker,

so I can only do the basic, simple tasks first.

In other words, I don’t know what they will ask me to do next, but the boss’s wife requires me to lay out my schedule in the “Tasks for This Week” section of the work report. That’s simply an impossible demand (so I never entered anything).

There was also a minor incident. When I first started, I had no idea that clocking in meant your pay started being calculated immediately (my hours are 9:00–18:00). Before that, I used to clock in before 8:30.

I thought it was fine to clock in early at many companies—your pay starts at the scheduled work time anyway.

So during my first week, I didn’t know and started eating breakfast right after clocking in.

Who knew the boss’s wife would ask me, “Why don’t you eat breakfast at home?”

????? I thought to myself: Where I eat breakfast is none of your business.

Later I found out that clocking in means your pay starts being calculated immediately (this was never mentioned in the interview).

So afterward, I clocked in at 8:50, just before work started.

I actually really regret joining this company.

I applied for an engineering assistant position, but basically spend every day testing.

It’s nothing like an engineering assistant role; it’s more like being a technician.

Actually, the company doesn’t need an engineering assistant—it needs a technician, right?

I’ve been here for almost three months, and they still keep dragging their feet over setting up a server.

They said they had to wait until the boss returned from a business trip before doing it, but it still wasn’t done after he came back.

Every day, the test data has to be uploaded to the server, and I have to ask a coworker to upload it every time. It’s really troublesome ^_^

I complain at work that I’m testing every day. It’s so annoying.

The other assistants tell me they went through the same thing.

But what does that have to do with me? I didn’t apply to be a technician.

On top of that, I’m busier than a dog every day, and the pay is relatively low.

(Lower than the amount shown on 104.)

I’ve recently started interviewing with other companies.

As soon as I find one, I’ll resign.
