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

Basically, everything you can see in the kitchen is edible.

The coworkers are pretty nice and aren’t overly annoying.

There’s no limit on overtime.

More or less the same as another review.

They basically teach you once and then leave you to figure things out. They don’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 had just started, the orders may have happened to be at a lull, so I was doing relatively simple tasks such as cleaning, visual inspections, and boxing.

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 actually right there. It would be faster to just ask me directly instead of going through someone else.

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

But sometimes it was really helpless. After all, I had just joined and couldn’t be compared with experienced workers’ speed (right?).

Also,

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

After I finish one round, I have to ask what I’m supposed to do in the next round.

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

Sometimes they can’t even give me a schedule.

Maybe the more difficult model in the next round is reserved for an experienced worker,

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

In other words, I don’t know what they’ll ask me to do next, but the boss’s wife requires me to schedule everything in the “Tasks for This Week” section of the work report. That’s completely unreasonable (so I never entered anything).

There was also a minor incident. When I first started, I had no idea that my paid hours started as soon as I clocked in (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, since you were paid starting from the scheduled work time anyway.

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?”

????? In my head: Where I eat breakfast is none of your business.

Only later did I find out that pay started as soon as I clocked in (this was never mentioned in the interview).

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

I actually really regret joining this company.

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

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

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

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

They said they had to wait until the boss returned from a business trip before setting it up, but even after she returned, nothing happened.

Every day, I have to upload the test data to the server, and every 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 really 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 rather low.

(Lower than what 104 indicates.)

Recently, I’ve started interviewing with new companies.

As soon as I find one, I’ll resign immediately.
