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 aren't total assholes.

There are no restrictions on overtime.

More or less the same as a certain other review.

Basically, they'll teach you once and then more or less leave you on your own. They won't proactively ask about your progress.

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

(Sometimes the testing area isn't 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 inspection, 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 right there next to them. It would have been faster to ask me directly instead of going through someone else.

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

But sometimes it was really helpless. After all, you can't compare a new employee's speed with that of an experienced worker (right?).

Also,

work assignments are poorly organized, and there is no handover.

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

Then I have to ask again after finishing that round. It's really annoying.

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

Maybe the more difficult model in the next round needs 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 owner's wife requires me to lay out a schedule in the “To-Do Items for This Week” section of the work report. It's completely unreasonable to expect that (so I never entered anything).

There was another minor incident. When I first started, I had no idea that the clock-in time was when my pay started being calculated (I worked 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, the scheduled start time is when pay starts being calculated.

But during my first week, I didn't know that, so after clocking in, I started eating breakfast.

Who knew the owner'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.

Only later did I find out that pay starts being calculated as soon as you clock in (this was never mentioned during 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 all I do every day is testing.

It's not really like being an engineering assistant; it's more like being a technician.

Actually, the company doesn't need an engineering assistant—they need 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 would do it after the boss returned from a business trip, but even after he came back, nothing was done.

Every day I have to upload testing data to the server, and every time I have to ask a coworker to help upload it. It's really troublesome ^_^.

I complain at work that I'm testing every day and it's really 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.

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 new companies.

I'll resign as soon as I find one.
