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

You can basically eat whatever you see in the kitchen.

The colleagues are pretty nice and not too annoying.

There is no limit on overtime.

Pretty much the same as a certain other review.

They basically teach you once and then more or less leave you to fend for yourself. 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 beside the lobby.)

When I had just started, the orders may have happened to be at a lull, so I did relatively simple tasks such as cleaning, visual inspections, and packing into boxes.

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

Not long after I started, the engineers would ask other assistants about my progress and why my testing took 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 someone else.

Also, usually only after the engineers asked would the other people come to ask me about my progress or what problems I had.

But sometimes it was really helpless. After all, I had just started, so you can’t compare my speed with that of experienced workers (right?).

Also,

work assignments were very disorganized, and there was no handover.

After finishing one round of work, I had to ask again what I should do in the next round.

After finishing that round, I had to ask again. It was really annoying.

Sometimes they simply couldn’t give me a schedule.

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

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

Basically, I didn’t know what they would ask me to do next, but the boss’s wife required me to schedule everything in the “To-do items for this week” section of the work report. That was completely unreasonable (so I never entered anything).

There was also a minor incident. When I first started, I had no idea that clocking in immediately started counting toward my pay (my hours were 9:00–18:00). Before that, I would clock in before 8:30.

I thought that at many companies it was fine to clock in early—after all, the scheduled start time was when pay began.

So during my first week, not knowing this, I clocked in and then started eating breakfast.

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 pay started as soon as you clocked in (this was never mentioned during the interview).

So afterward, I only clocked in 10 minutes before work.

I actually really regret joining this company.

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

It was nothing like an engineering assistant position; it was more like a technician.

Actually, the company wasn’t looking for an engineering assistant—it was looking for a technician, right?

I’ve been here for almost three months, and setting up a server has been endlessly delayed.

They said they had to wait until the boss came back from a business trip before doing it, but even after he returned, nothing was done.

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

I complained at work that I was testing every day and it was annoying.

The other assistants replied that they had gone through the same thing.

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

Besides, I’m busier than a dog every day, and the pay is relatively low.

(Lower than what 104 shows.)

I’ve recently started interviewing with new companies.

I’ll resign immediately once I find one.
