It should, at the very least, comply with the basic requirements of the Labor Standards Act. After all, it is a large “traditional major textbook publisher.” The office has a strong sense of design and creates an overall comfortable workplace atmosphere.

As mentioned in the pros, in reality, it is all surface and no substance.

It carries the culturally grounded name “Hanlin,” but because it is also a large company, as the saying goes, “a big tree is bound to have some withered branches, and a large group of people is bound to include some fools.” Some unsuitable positions are occupied by problematic people who lack ability and spend the entire workday doing as little as possible. As a result, the turnover rate is genuinely high, because capable people recognize that this is a strange and toxic environment. In theory, the company still focuses on whether it can gain market share in schools, but the quality of its teaching materials is very worrying. In particular, its digital products are expected to make extensive use of AI, even though AI quality is currently very unstable. Nevertheless, the company wants to secure school placements immediately, resulting in products being rushed to market. Seeing low-quality teaching materials at work every day makes me worry about the next generation, but this is simply how the current ecosystem works…

If you genuinely want to work hard for the education of the next generation, you should think very carefully before considering this company. You will encounter frequent system failures caused by equipment problems, and some supervisors are very skilled at using words to emotionally manipulate employees. In this office environment that appears comfortable on the outside, the people working there are actually quite unhappy. You can choose to use it to build your résumé, but do not create low-quality materials simply for the sake of pushing textbooks. You will be influencing the thinking of the next generation.
