Workplace reviews and discussion: 信昌機械廠股份有限公司

Looking back, there weren't really any advantages. The only one is... there wasn't much overtime, I guess.

1. It is a traditional manufacturing company, and every August there is a summer shutdown, but it is unpaid leave. Company managers and HR say that it gives employees a chance to travel and spend more time with their families.

2. During the interview, they used a few phrases to sound things out. After joining, I found that many of them were lies; the main purpose was to trick people into joining.

3. HR asks whether you have applied for the social subsidy (new graduates and other young people entering the workforce under 30 can apply). I suspect they do not want to spend too much on hiring because the government subsidizes companies.

4. The pay is very poor.

5. They really like hiring fresh graduates and use a method of offering benefits first and then suppressing you: first they make you lower your guard, then they start putting you down through various excuses or methods, making you doubt yourself. It is somewhat like training you to obey and do as you are told, and even making it difficult for you to leave the company. (Unless you are a company favorite, this is basically how things are. It is a company I would not recommend staying at for long.)

6. If you care a lot about the company's food, you should probably avoid this place.

7. Internal power struggles are very serious, and the company even created a gossip group.
