I really can't stand AI boss Chen X-ling.
Besides sidelining and suppressing subordinates and political opponents,
I really don't know what else she can do besides being an information courier.
She has made the company so much like court politics, with informants everywhere.
What kind of move is this? ==!
There’s air conditioning, the bathroom is fairly clean, and taking leave is pretty easy.
There are actually some projects where you can learn technical skills, but they’re about as rare as Japanese-made compressors.
They don’t respect professional expertise and promote using one person as a substitute for many. The on-call allowance may even be less than what you could earn begging for a day at a major train station.
Strictly speaking, none of the managers is the worst when considered individually, but when they combine forces and use their combo moves, the people below them are absolutely left wailing in misery.
I strongly advise capable people not to join this company. I also wouldn’t recommend coming here to learn office politics, because even the palace-intrigue tactics here are rudimentary and unimpressive. I only recommend this place to people interested in the long-term care industry, because there are plenty of fat cats here whose expertise is gossiping, waiting for people to come and provide long-term care for jobs they themselves can’t even clearly describe.

Today we discuss AI strategy,
tomorrow we strive to surpass technology,
the day after tomorrow we disrupt the entire industry.
There are office desks
TL;DL Software engineers, don't come here. You won't learn a thing, and when putting out fires, you'll be treated as the source of the problem.
The pay is low, yet you still have to take on call duty and may even have to travel. I strongly recommend avoiding all departments related to overseas business.
The computers are terrible. Even a fresh Windows 10 installation will crash the IDE repeatedly because there isn't enough memory.
Every horror story you've heard online exists here—none are missing.
Even people who don't know how to use an IDE can come here; all you need to know is how to turn on a computer.
Projects are transferred via USB/OneDrive. There is no version control, or every file—including built binaries—is checked into version control. Every one of these horror stories exists here.
Most projects are ancient legacy systems.
Whether a project can be updated or whether a configuration error can be fixed is unclear; there is supposedly a team, but no one knows whether work can even begin.
How bad is the code?
1. Catching an Exception with try-catch and then using goto to go back and redo it—this kind of operation that creates a program deadlock by design is something I've seen for the first time in my life.
2. Even where deep copies aren't needed, things are serialized and then deserialized in the same sequence, and serialization and deserialization are performed using different APIs.
If you still don't find the two points above outrageous enough, welcome to come put out fires. It's all stuff written by predecessors who themselves had no idea what they were writing.
Even a night-school, diploma-mill vocational high school student using AI vibe coding couldn't write code of this caliber.
Most projects use distributed-system architectures, making it difficult to debug communication between projects through breakpoints. But the loggers written by those who came before are completely useless: how are you supposed to find the root cause of a problem when they throw a custom message without a stack trace?
Because this place worships "mediumship"—every day, the mediums "greet" one another by obediently asking whether they've done it yet.
The source code you receive is already corrupted garbage. The logic is very simple, yet it can't even be built. So what exactly is running in the production environment?
When something goes wrong after deployment, the blame goes directly to the developers; when you put out the fire, you're treated as the problem-maker.
The managers' decision-making is also bizarre. They say they want to optimize the database. Propose normalization, flattening and creating relational tables, or hash compression—none of that is acceptable; instead, they insist on destroying the original data-storage format.
No normally educated computer science graduate would handle it this way.
The processes are extremely chaotic. A user may suddenly rush over and demand an update on the project's progress, even though before that there was no requirements meeting and no requirements document in sight.
The handover principle here is simply that seeing the code repository counts as a completed handover. Even asking the person handing over the work for a development specification is extremely difficult.
Code quality, Clean Code, and SOLID principles, as well as software engineering concepts such as DDD and N-tier architecture, are all completely absent here. This is a place that discriminates against software expertise.
You can't debug through mediumship? Are you a Junior who can't do anything?
Any pros?
For the Channel Management Specialist position, they are only willing to offer a salary of 38,000 and will not go any higher. If you want a higher salary, you have to negotiate for it separately...
Working overtime until 19:00–20:00 or later is the norm.
Interview: 1. You must first complete an English test and email your personal information file before they will arrange an interview. 2. Online interview.
The interviewer seemed to think the position was more like an administrative sales assistant role. Would they feel that the gap from your current position is too large, and that you are being looked down on?
Human resources really needs improvement; they could not even clearly explain the company’s benefits.
The job posting is repeatedly opened and closed, so beware that it may be a perennial vacancy.
It’s a company owned by Douglas Hsu—how good could it be?
Impolite
Lacks professionalism
Position interviewed for: Cybersecurity Specialist
Interview process: 1. English reading/composition 2. Interview 3. Second interview
The hiring manager conducted a professional interview, demonstrated a professional attitude, and treated the candidate with respect throughout the interview.
Human resources needs significant improvement, especially in terms of attitude and follow-up. Also, if they do not understand the market rates, they should not make unreasonable attempts to drive down the offer.

As long as it is a site reliability engineer position, it is not a formal employee of FETC; all such positions are outsourced positions for FETC.
None
The interview was not held in a meeting room (on the grounds that one could not be booked), which was extremely disrespectful to the candidate.
