A company with a long history and an established legacy, where management participates in discussions about methods that need to be promoted internally (the ISO 27001 system and brand were introduced last year).
Spacious parking spaces, meals provided by the restaurant, gift vouchers for the three major holidays, and birthday cash gifts.
1. There are many invited meetings, and communication can seem trivial or lengthy, with repeated nagging that may cause the discussion topic to drift.
2. Management lacks clear decision-making, and instructions are mostly discussions and requests for opinions, with fewer direct conclusions or clearly assigned tasks. This makes it difficult to turn discussions into action.
3. After training newcomers, there is no further advancement. All kinds of documents require reading, writing, calculations, and running them through the approval process; they may be returned by internal or external departments. When improvements are proposed to Information Technology, the response is to handle each case individually, but in the end, cases are passed off by claiming that more important matters take priority.
4. Meetings and discussions are highly repetitive. Some issues are discussed repeatedly, with no visible feedback showing that they have been implemented. After fragmented communication, there is a lack of follow-up and review mechanisms.
5. Professional discussions are interrupted by trivial matters or casual chatter. Although this may strengthen relationships, it can also dilute the focus of the discussion, especially when highly professional decisions are required.
6. Work and shipping efficiency are unstable—sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It is often necessary to wait more than two hours for the company’s shipping code.
7. The ethical work environment is problematic. Certain married engineers behave inappropriately toward female colleagues, even involving workplace harassment, such as making suggestive remarks and physical contact. No proper action has been observed; instead, some have even been promoted.
8. Human Resources has unusual hiring practices and recruits people looking for temporary work. Employees in sales, quality assurance, production, and other units frequently resign, yet no effort is made to ask about environmental or management problems. Managers privately chat about gossip, drink beverages, smoke, and purchase products.
9. The company plans to expand its facilities, but construction had not yet begun in 2025. At the quarterly meeting, the owner’s praise was not limited to senior employees; new hires are needed to contribute to ODM/EMS performance.
10. When processing a resignation, asking the HR staff member about submitting the required forms may result in being told to go find the General Affairs department. Hello—isn’t that the same department? Or is this also part of the company’s way of doing things? A General Affairs employee surnamed Wang helps check assets and explains the process.
11. In matters involving quality-assurance customers and coordination with Sales, Quality Assurance often conveys information with numerous errors, and one may then be dragged along to explain it and work overtime.
