1. Large companies generally follow labor laws properly and usually don’t act recklessly. Colleagues in the same department are also quite easy to get along with.
2. The managers I encountered consistently encouraged employees to learn more and take on additional responsibilities, so you can learn quite a few skills outside your official role—including tolerance.
1. Whether you are a product planner, marketing specialist, or hold another position, you may sometimes have to act as the project manager for product feature optimization projects. The product development process at this company is very unusual: everyone can be a project manager. The actual Product PM position is only responsible for coordinating with R&D. Whoever wants something done, or whichever department has a requirement, must handle cross-departmental communication themselves, as well as communicate with UI about the screen flows. The PM is only willing to take it on once everything has been prepared.
2. People keep leaving and vacancies are not filled. The remaining employees are overloaded with work, and there are quite a few people who really like to meddle in and dictate how other departments should do their jobs.
3. After Far EasTone changed its general manager, the new manager immediately intervened in the management of its subsidiaries. Senior managers in each department competed fiercely to prove themselves, making life extremely difficult for the people below them.
Can't think of any advantages
There were three managers during the interview, and two of them weren't listening while I introduced myself. After I finished, they even repeated questions that I had already answered in my introduction.
Throughout the interview, one of them asked questions with the condescending, sarcastic attitude of a veteran who thought he was superior. The entire interview was very unpleasant, and at one point I really wanted to pack up my things and leave.
During the small talk at the end, that manager said the department currently uses Scrum and that he thought it was working very well. However, I remember seeing posts online from internal staff saying that Scrum was also on the verge of collapse.
I already knew before the interview that it was a company with a very poor reputation. I thought I would go experience it firsthand and gain some experience points. To be honest, I really regret going to the interview. Not only did I learn nothing from the process, I was also humiliated.
I can't really think of any.
Originally, I thought I would just take the online reviews with a grain of salt, so I spent the time to attend the interview. However, my actual impression of the interview was:
The supervisor did not give a very good impression. The interviewee was not treated with respect, and the supervisor came across as somewhat condescending. Their way of speaking also contained a hint of sarcasm toward the interviewee. If it were a high-paying, well-known company, perhaps this could still be tolerated,
but they offer peanuts while demanding a great deal.
Overall, I do not recommend wasting your time interviewing with this company.
All three i’s have left; the company can enjoy some peace and quiet for a while.
Back then, those who didn’t leave fought tooth and nail with several of the current executives for the general manager position, only for an outsider to take the whole prize in the end.
The HR folks sure throw their weight around~ You’re so powerful; I’m so scared.
1. The colleagues are all very nice, and the managers are willing to adopt the innovative ideas we put forward. It’s a place where young people can really make an impact.
2. Before the merger with GoHappy, the benefits package actually wasn’t bad. Now we’ll see what the Employee Welfare Committee can come up with.
1. After Far EasTone took control of the finances and human resources, it directly intervened and undermined the original spirit of innovation.
2. The company wants us to help Far EasTone boost its performance and is forcing us to sign up for phone numbers... There is some subsidy, but they say this is an employee benefit. This subsidy could probably be put toward better planning.
3. The company’s HR department is often out of touch, especially the colleagues from Hong Kong. When we ask questions, they keep giving evasive answers... If support services are going to be handled like this, they might as well shut them down.
4. Even trying to request leave through the system using Chrome causes problems. The system is unbearably difficult to use. When we report it, all we get is: “Oh! We synchronize with Far EasTone,” or “That’s company policy.” I really don’t understand whether this is actually a legitimate company. It’s seriously fucking great.
The supervisor was quite insightful and asked very relevant questions, unlike typical small companies that ask meaningless questions.
He also clearly explained what kind of candidate he was looking for and honestly told me that I did not fully meet his requirements, although I was still acceptable. He would continue interviewing other candidates to see whether he could find someone even more qualified.
I believe anyone who has the opportunity to join this company will be able to learn a great deal professionally.
Although I proactively asked during the interview whether I would receive an acceptance or rejection notice, I was told that if I did not hear anything within a month, it meant I had not been accepted. The waiting time is a bit long, but it is also a good thing that the company would rather leave a position unfilled than hire someone unsuitable.
Still, it would be better if the company could proactively send a notification.
Not much of an advantage
After 遠X arrived, the open-environment culture shifted toward a traditional one. The parachuted-in senior management doesn’t understand the value of technology, Scrum is also hanging by a thread, and even company trips can be canceled. Everyone has started fleeing~~
Are there any advantages to replacing them with Far EasTone's parachuted-in troops~~~~~
All the top executives above have been removed, and they've been replaced with Far EasTone Group's parachuted-in troops. Taiwanese businesses and xx East really are old hands—getting rid of the young people and replacing them with old ones. It looks like the culture established before will also be reverted by Far EasTone. Not recommended to join.
Leaving work on time every day, with flexible and relaxed working hours. It is not a family-owned business, so there are no relatives occupying key positions. There is no infighting or political maneuvering within the company, making it a rare job opportunity where you can truly showcase your abilities.

Flexible working hours, and you can easily leave work on time every day. There is no infighting or political maneuvering within the company. It is not a family business, so there are no relatives of the owners occupying key positions. A rare good job opportunity where you can fully showcase your abilities.
None
Flexible hours
The payment date for part-time workers’ wages is irregular. Even when requesting a payslip, you don’t receive one, and you have to go as far as reporting the supervisor to get paid.
They don’t really treat part-time workers like people.
I am still employed here, and overall the work atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. Working hours are flexible, and employees are given quite a lot of room and trust. Our department does not work much overtime, and my supervisor basically shares the philosophy of allocating workloads in a way that minimizes overtime for everyone. Previously, when overtime was required for specific projects, we did in fact receive overtime pay (with the option of taking overtime pay or compensatory time off). We receive all the year-end bonuses that are supposed to be provided. Even newcomers who have worked for less than a year have a chance to win prizes at the year-end banquet, and the travel subsidies are also genuinely provided.
I identify with the boss John’s management philosophy of mutual benefit. Although it is not easy to put into practice in a large company, at least the idea is a good one. The company regularly arranges talks by well-known speakers, which are great opportunities for me to recharge and shift my mindset. (So far, I have gained quite a lot from every session I’ve attended—notes, recordings made on the sly, and I haven’t dozed off once.)
As a Far EasTone subsidiary that has expanded rapidly in a short period of time, the company has some cumbersome but unnecessary procedures, as well as overly fussy, circular processes, which may tie your hands when carrying out your work. However, if your supervisor is clear-headed or has your back, these are minor issues. The partially electronic EIP system is also frustrating. Even after submitting an application online, you still have to print it out and go through a paper-based process once more. It feels very strange, right? Still, for me, the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, and I still quite like working here.
A good place for those just starting out to develop their skills. The average age of employees is relatively young, and people are quite enthusiastic. The work environment is also pretty good.
