Workplace reviews and discussion: 億光電子工業股份有限公司

The lobby is bright, and the restrooms and common areas are very clean. The dormitory is very inexpensive—I heard it only costs 1,000. After 7 p.m., you can have a free dinner, and there is also a subsidy for snacks from convenience stores. Uniforms are required, so you do not have to think about what to wear to work, which can save on clothing expenses. Parking costs 1,200 per month. If there is no parking space available, you can park at the company and come back to pick up your vehicle when you need to use it, which can also help reduce expenses. There is a gym, and the showers are available for use. Training sessions with external instructors are held periodically. The salary is better than some, though not the best.

There are no flexible working hours, and there is a required number of times to exercise each month. (However, being able to temporarily leave work in exchange for health benefits is an understandable starting point.) Working here feels more like being at school: you follow the schedule signaled by bells, and the seating area is expected to follow 5S standards. You may be asked not to place personal items such as dolls or potted plants at your desk. The work is fulfilling, but the atmosphere can sometimes be tense.
