台灣東電化股份有限公司(TDK)
Pros

1. Suitable as a stepping stone to gain some experience, but not suitable for staying long-term.

The headquarters in Japan has a strong reputation, but the Taiwan branch's performance is deteriorating and it is becoming less and less capable. It is merely riding on Japan's reputation. If you want to build solid skills or learn new things here, forget it; it is fine as a place to work through basic-level experience.

There are several cases of people later moving to Hsinchu Science Park. I also came here after seeing online that it was suitable as a stepping stone to Hsinchu Science Park, but you should be mentally prepared to encounter a lot of people with poor manners.

2. Salary, bonuses, benefits, overtime pay, and leave are provided according to regulations. In this respect, the company is not stingy with employees.

Cons

Although it is a Japanese company, overall it is actually a Taiwanese company—Japanese on the outside, Taiwanese at its core.

1. The company environment is old and dated. Some areas are being renovated, but overall it is still not particularly modern.

2. The organizational system, corporate culture, and management style are very old-fashioned. You will encounter all the legendary “troublemakers from a traditional rural factory” here. There are quite a few people with poor manners, and they have all been working here for a long time. They plan to work here until retirement, and newcomers cannot shake their positions no matter what.

3. There are an especially large number of miscellaneous tasks.

4. The people here are very good at psychological manipulation. Many speak without much basic courtesy, have poor emotional control, and do not listen to others at all—there are a great many of them, including some managers.

However, as long as you maintain a sound perspective and a positive attitude, they can only make noise like monkeys. Once you have gained the experience, you can leave.

5. There are many managers who are all talk but lack ability and management skills. Because the company does not lay people off, it has retained a large number of long-serving employees. Even without ability or connections, they can become managers simply through seniority.

6. There is no comprehensive training. Joining this company is like entering a jungle: you have to figure out how to ask people or solve things yourself. If you ask someone, you may get the correct answer if you are lucky; if you are unlucky, you will do it wrong. Because the company lacks comprehensive systems and SOPs, people do things based on experience.
