Workplace reviews and discussion: 明基電通股份有限公司

None

The salary was negotiable, but I was directly told, “That’s all there is—take it or leave it.”

It heavily depends on getting along with your supervisor; if they dislike you, you’ll be out the door in no time.

You have to prepare your own charging cable. It was quite amusing to hear that for the first time; even stationery and other supplies aren’t provided.

I wanted an extra monitor for development, but was immediately told it wasn’t appropriate. Although I was eventually allowed to use one, I guess that may have created resentment at the time?

There is no overtime pay, only compensatory time off.

I worked on Mac/Windows development. During the probationary period, I fixed a pile of bugs and worked intensively every day, with virtually no time for breaks. I didn’t make many mistakes either, but I was told I wasn’t suitable for the position. During that period, no one told me what needed improvement or gave me any feedback.

All I can say is: run.
