Workplace reviews and discussion: 財團法人台灣產業服務基金會

Overall, the workplace is fairly warm and welcoming, with snacks, birthday parties, and breakfast every two weeks. If you end up in a good team, you could stay for a long time (observation).

If you work as a full-time auditor (positions are available in the north, central, and south), the job is more tiring because you have to get up early every day. However, unlike office staff, you do not have to constantly write reports or deal with a pile of miscellaneous tasks. Basically, if there is nothing to do, you can go home at the scheduled time in the afternoon.

As soon as I joined, I was assigned to the worst team, not the position I had originally interviewed for. Shortly after I joined, the entire team left, leaving only new employees and an old manager. The person in charge was the most difficult to deal with among all the teams. The other teams were fine, but the team I was in had a lot of tedious work. If there was even a minor error in a report, I would be questioned and asked to reprint it. The people who previously held the position stayed for an average of two to four months before leaving. I also stuck it out for four months before leaving.

Normally, you need to submit reports every month, but if you happen to encounter an evaluation month, you will be busy for the entire month. In my case, I worked overtime at the company every weekend throughout the month. However, this overtime, as well as work done on weekends and regular weekdays, could all be exchanged for time off, and after things became less busy, I was indeed able to take all the leave I was entitled to.

The reports themselves were not difficult, but there were many details to pay attention to. For example, there was a fixed way of writing notes, and if you used your own wording, the report would be rejected.

For some reason, the people from the other teams I encountered at the company were generally quite nice, easy to get along with, and very willing to help. However, the people in my own team had terrible tempers, including the manager, who was very impatient. The previous employee who resigned also kept taking leave, leaving the people in the office to help with many tasks.

I had to prepare a pile of reports, and even when I was leaving, I stayed behind to print a large number of reports that needed to be spiral-bound. In the end, I was still yelled at by a short-tempered colleague. But as I mentioned earlier, it would not be like this if you were in a good team. Based on my observations, the supervisors and colleagues in the other teams were all very good people.

This team had the most demanding workload, but the contract project lasted two years, so anyone who managed to survive it was impressive.
