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 overly annoying.

There’s no limit on overtime.

Pretty much 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 had just started, the orders may have happened to be at a lull, so I did relatively simple tasks such as cleaning, visual inspection, and packing.

After more orders were added, I was basically testing every day.

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

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

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

Also,

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

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

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

Sometimes they couldn’t even give me a schedule.

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

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

Basically, 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 “To-do Items for This Week” section of the work report. That was simply asking the impossible (so I never entered anything).

There was also a minor incident. When I first started, I had no idea that your work hours—and therefore your pay—started as soon as you clocked in. (My hours were 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; after all, you start getting paid at the scheduled start time.

So during my first week, I didn’t know this and started eating breakfast 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.

I only found out later that pay started as soon as you clocked in. (This was never mentioned during 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 spend every day testing.

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

What the company really needs isn’t an engineering assistant—it needs a technician, right?

I’ve been here for almost three months, and getting a server set up has been dragged out.

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

Every day, I have to upload the test 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 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 low

(lower than the amount shown on 104).

Recently, I’ve started interviewing with new companies.

I’ll resign immediately once I find one.
