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

Basically, everything you see in the kitchen is edible.

The coworkers are pretty nice and not overly annoying.

There’s no limit on overtime.

More or less the same as another review.

They basically teach you once and then more or less leave you on your own. They won’t proactively come 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 had just joined, the orders may have happened to be at a lull, so I was doing 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 other assistants about my progress and why my testing was taking so long, or question whether my procedures were correct.

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

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

But sometimes I felt really helpless. After all, I had just started—it's not fair to compare my speed with that of experienced employees, right?

Also,

work assignments were poorly organized, and there was no handover.

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

Then I had to ask again after finishing that round. It was really annoying.

Sometimes they couldn’t even give me a schedule.

Maybe the more difficult machines in the next round had to be handled by experienced employees,

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

In other words, I didn’t know what they would ask me to do next, but the boss’s wife required me to lay out my schedule in the “Tasks 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 meant my pay started being calculated from then on. (My hours were 9:00–18:00.) Before that, I would clock in before 8:30.

I thought it was fine to clock in early at many companies—after all, you get paid from the official starting time.

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 pay started being calculated as soon as you clocked in. (This was never mentioned at the interview.)

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

I actually really regret joining this company.

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

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

What the company really needed wasn’t an engineering assistant, but a technician, right?

I’ve been here for almost three months, and they still haven’t properly set up a server.

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

Every day, I have to upload the testing data to the server, and each time I have to ask a coworker to help upload it. 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.

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

(Lower than what 104 lists.)

Recently, I’ve started interviewing with other companies.

Once I find one, I’ll quit immediately.
