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

Basically, you can eat anything you see in the kitchen.

The colleagues are pretty good and aren’t too damn annoying.

There’s no limit on overtime.

More or less the same as a certain other 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.

(Sometimes the testing location isn’t 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 simpler tasks like cleaning, visual inspection, and putting things into boxes.

After additional 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 took so long, or question whether my procedures were correct.

But sometimes I was right there. It would have been faster to ask me directly instead of going through someone else.

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

But sometimes it was really helpless. After all, you can’t compare someone who just joined with the speed of an experienced worker (right?).

Also,

The work assignments are poorly organized, and there’s no handover.

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

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

Sometimes they couldn’t give me a schedule at all.

Maybe the more difficult model in the next round was reserved for an experienced worker.

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

Basically, I didn’t know what they would ask me to do next, but the boss’s wife required me to lay out the 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 your pay started being calculated immediately (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, your pay starts at the scheduled work time.

So during my first week, I didn’t know 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 damn business.

Later I found out that pay starts being calculated as soon as you clock in (this was never mentioned in 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 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 they still haven’t properly set up a server.

They said they would do it after the boss returned from a business trip, but even after she 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 complain at work that I’m testing every day and it’s really annoying.

The other assistants told 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 showed.)

Recently, I’ve started interviewing with new companies.

I’ll resign immediately once I find one.
