1. Basically, there is no need to work overtime.

2. Free snacks are provided.

3. There is a capsule coffee machine (but you have to pay for the coffee pods).

4. There is an employee welfare committee, and there are several employee dinners each year.

1. Transportation: Neihu is extremely congested during commuting hours. You may not even be able to get on the bus, and the roads are also terribly jammed. Rainy days are even worse.

2. Policies: There is a grace period for being late (a few minutes), but there is a monthly limit on the number of times. Once you exceed it, taking leave becomes very strictly enforced. Other types of leave follow the Labor Standards Act.

3. Compensation: Strangely, salaries are calculated based on the number of working days each month, so the amount you receive differs every month. The salary structure includes a perfect-attendance bonus (included in the salary you negotiated—it is not really a bonus). If you take personal leave during the month, it is deducted.

4. If you are in the R&D department, the review is just like what others have said: chaotic, with no clear goals. There is also a German person (who does not speak Chinese) who is the husband of a senior executive, so he has the same influence as the executive and has an extremely high opinion of himself.

5. There is a NT$1,000 annual raise, but there are no substantial salary increases. Therefore, negotiate a higher salary at the beginning; otherwise, you will have to discuss a raise with the senior executive, or your salary probably will not change much.

Overall, the company is generally made up of long-term employees. The younger people and newcomers who join later do not stay for very long.
