There are animal plushies to admire.

It feels like they engage in shady practices; newcomers beware.

Pros: I suppose there weren't any.

1. A friend once worked at this company. The types of work the company took on were absurdly varied (app development projects, commercial photography, cultural and creative products, and other businesses), with no clear focus at all, and the different operations could not be integrated.

2. The company took on projects despite having completely insufficient technical capabilities. A project my friend handled at the company still had not been completed or delivered to the client two years after my friend was fired (the client may have terminated the contract).

3. My friend joined the company to work in software development. For some unknown reason, new employees had to sign a portrait-rights consent form upon joining. Only afterward did my friend learn that the company needed people to appear as models or actors in short corporate-image videos. Why should employees have to do work unrelated to their roles? The company even tried to save on filming costs. The boss’s ways of taking advantage of employees were truly bizarre.

4. Whenever an employee failed to do something to the boss’s satisfaction, the boss would play the “fire the employee” game. My friend could not understand why the company had no performance evaluation system. More importantly, although my friend was responsible for front-end work, the back-end team never asked them to take responsibility for planning; my friend was fired without even having time to read the relevant materials.

5. The company description on the job bank differed greatly from reality, leaving my friend feeling deceived into joining. Although this was not my friend’s first job, it was their first experience with such an absurd company.

6. Regardless of the position an employee was originally hired for, the boss would randomly assign unhandled tasks to whoever was available. For example, someone hired for software development was expected to act as an IT staff member. Why not hire someone for the relevant position instead of making someone without the necessary background shoulder the responsibility?

7. Pet decorations were displayed in every corner of the office. Going to work every day felt like visiting a museum, as the boss’s personal preferences filled the entire office.

After payday, everyone has to contribute over 200 dollars to the snack welfare fund. Did you think the snacks we offer to the Earth God every month were free? Since the Earth God blesses the company to make money and also blesses you with work, it is entirely reasonable to share the cost of the snacks. After all, the company is our provider, so we should work hard to create revenue for the company! 💪 This little bit of money is nothing.

Working hours are too short.

None

One person is expected to handle multiple roles. This is the first time I’ve encountered a company asking employees to film promotional videos for the company (with their faces shown, and without asking employees beforehand whether they were willing to do it—I don’t remember the job description when I applied saying that I would have to make videos for the company, did it?). Simply to save the company money, employees are casually ordered around. Supervisors do whatever comes to mind without considering your existing workload, and you may suddenly be assigned other tasks, causing your original work to be delayed. But, of course, no matter how many things go wrong, it will never be the supervisor’s fault; they may even criticize you for working too slowly.

This company likes to hire young, recent graduates and does not want to spend money hiring experienced people, yet it evaluates employees by high standards. When a project is about to become unmanageable, management starts blasting messages in the group chat instead of thinking about the underlying problems. When employees are assigned work arbitrarily and told to do whatever comes to mind, naturally nothing gets done well. Employees’ level of experience also affects the progress of a project.

There are so many unbelievable things that I couldn’t possibly list them all. This workplace is probably only suitable for someone with perseverance, determination, and high stress tolerance—someone who is cheap, easy to use, ideally knows every skill, can handle multiple roles alone, and obediently follows the company’s instructions: if the supervisor says A, you do A. Such a person should be able to hold on to the job steadily without any problem.

No.

I heard the company has changed its name. I advise anyone thinking of joining: absolutely do not show off about what you can do. Leave that kind of posturing to others, unless you want to end up with a pile of work that isn’t part of your responsibilities.

On the surface, the company looks very good, but it is actually a shell company.

1. There are no design processes, and they do not understand design. They do not know what they are doing; they do whatever they want, taking things one step at a time. What an absurd company.

2. They will tell you without warning that today is your last day. An irresponsible company that does not value its employees.

You can leave comments about the drawbacks

Such a small company has accumulated quite a few negative reviews, and there is a lot of controversy. It seems these comments are not without basis?

Hmm... worth considering

Based on my own experience working there, this company follows the Labor Standards Act quite closely, probably because they are afraid of getting into trouble. If there is an overtime form, it is approved as soon as it is signed, and everyone leaves work on time. I also checked the labor insurance salary bracket, and it was normal, so there was no real issue on that front.

This is probably because none of their projects have ever failed and their regular clients are very supportive, so they have a lot of projects. Consequently, their technical requirements are quite demanding. People who are eager to learn can give it a try, but the pressure is correspondingly greater, because the projects they take on are either for art galleries or hospitals, and their clients are generally quite sophisticated. Testing and acceptance are not easy, unlike at large companies where it is easier to get by. This is definitely something you need to prepare yourself mentally for.

None

Before whitewashing this, shouldn’t you first check whether your labor insurance wages were underreported? Your rights have been harmed, yet you’re still defending them. Are you sure you’re in your right mind?

This company is actually pretty good. It was previously hit quite hard by online rumors spread by former employees who had left, but it seems to have turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Existing customers strongly supported the company instead, creating more opportunities for collaboration. I heard that its scale this year is already twice as large as last year’s.

In my own experience, the salary adjustment this year was quite substantial. I received bonuses for two quarters, and they were both pretty good. The manager is also quite kind. However, the company is indeed quite demanding when it comes to learning new technologies. The company hopes to continually provide clients with development in new areas, so employees need to keep learning new things. The company is quite willing to spend on R&D and training courses. If you’re not looking for a place to coast until retirement, this is actually pretty good.

It’s better to have a strong interest in the IT industry to get up to speed.

None. Why do I have to write about the pros? I came here to write about the cons.

I only had one interview, and the manager who interviewed me taunted me by saying that the turnover rate for project assistants is very high, and that if you don't pass the probationary period, you can't take over projects because they need to ensure that the person responsible for a project can see it through to completion. They also said that passing probation would definitely come with a major salary increase. Why would I go to a company where I might not even pass probation?

Also, the number of employees listed for this company on 104 is fake. There couldn't possibly be only 15 people. I saw at least around 30 people there, and only a small area was unoccupied. During the interview, people kept laughing and joking around outside, and someone even applauded or something. It felt like a very unserious company.

1. The supervisors are strong in every way. This is actually a drawback, because it means that when you make a mistake, the company won’t make you deal with it yourself, which takes away many learning opportunities.

2. Compared with other project-based companies, the staffing is quite sufficient, and there is even enough capacity to take on outsourcing work from other companies. (More work—cry.)

3. The atmosphere is just as cheerful as it is on the company’s website.

4. The boss is open-minded and accepts all kinds of opinions. Basically, they’re not at all aloof. You can speak directly about anything. (Actually, that isn’t necessarily a good thing either.)

1. I thought I would be able to learn after joining, but I didn’t expect to be required to get up to speed so quickly. If you can’t learn fast enough, a senior colleague will immediately take over, finish the work extremely quickly that same day to show you, and then tell you where to find existing resources online. In reality, this is quite frustrating—not everyone is good at Googling information.

The kinder the senior colleagues are to you, the more frustrated you feel, because it makes you think that having to work overtime is due to your own lack of ability, rather than the company not giving you enough time. Everyone else works so quickly, while you feel like you’re the slowest. This is really speechless. Although you can freely submit overtime forms and the supervisors are understanding toward newcomers and sign them right away, people who aren’t interested in technology will really feel frustrated here. They may feel that learning technical skills is their own responsibility and become even less willing to apply for overtime. This is actually a problem. The company should give people with weaker technical skills a chance, rather than having supervisors or senior colleagues come to the rescue whenever a project is unstable.

2. The company’s biggest problem is that it has never had a project fail, so there is pressure not to breach any contracts. Usually, when a newcomer gets into trouble, all the supervisors come to the rescue instead of giving the newcomer a chance. So unless you’re very talented, you may not have had time to grow before watching people who joined at the same time pass probation after one or two months, get a pay raise after two or three months, and receive bonuses every quarter—while you get nothing... So, if you really want to challenge yourself, then go to this company. The feeling is difficult to explain... People whose projects are stable receive a lot, and it’s usually given privately, which is also strange. Why not praise them publicly? Is it because they’re afraid of discouraging people who can’t handle the pressure? This is another very strange practice.

3. The internal atmosphere is very good, but the company doesn’t really address rumors online. This is a major problem. Doesn’t it affect the ability to win projects? Although all the projects come through referrals, that doesn’t mean the company’s online reputation isn’t important.

4. The employee trip is to Japan, but newcomers only get half the subsidy. How is that supposed to build team spirit? At my previous company, it was fully subsidized. This is really rather stingy. Even if you receive bonuses every quarter, the point of an employee trip is to go have fun together.

5. What I understand least is the monthly technical research and development meeting. It basically forces people to grow. If I have to study technology when I get home, I might as well go back to school—why come to a company? This is the most criticized aspect of this company. So what if my technical ability improves? I may not necessarily be interested in this. Why should people be ostracized for not learning new things? This is very difficult to accept.

6. In short, if you’re looking for an easy job where you can coast until retirement, it’s probably better not to come here. You’ll experience every kind of suffering. Just like the previous comments said, the supervisors only treat engineers well. For jobs such as project assistant, the supervisors just paint you a rosy picture of becoming a future PM and tell you to learn more and so on. In reality, if you can’t teach yourself, it’s really difficult to stay... It’s hard to explain. Anyway, once you’ve worked here, you’ll understand.

1. The restroom is very large, clean, and offers a high degree of privacy.

2. The environment has been newly renovated, so it isn’t old and dirty.

3. More than half of the company’s employees have left, so there is plenty of space and it isn’t crowded.

1. Leaving work on time will make people think you have too much free time~ If no one stops you to ask for help when you’re about to leave the company, it means the “company doesn’t need you.” Employees are held to unrealistic expectations, with the belief that everyone should have the mindset of apprentices under the old “master-apprentice system”: even when their workload increases, they should be grateful for the opportunity to learn!

2. Managers apply double standards: they are strict with others but lenient with themselves. When assigning tasks, they never consider the employee’s existing workload or how difficult the task is to carry out, and they often question why it is taking so long. But when it comes to their own work, no one dares say anything even when they delay progress.

3. They ignore the work allocation and progress coordinated among employees. If they suddenly decide they want something done, they order employees to rush it out immediately. If the original work is delayed as a result, they will then snap at you for being too slow!

4. The boss has many unrealistic ideas and believes that anything can be accomplished just by Googling it and imitating what others have done. Professional matters are not entrusted to professionals; instead, employees are told to “look up the information,” as though the whole thing will then succeed and make a lot of money. As a result, besides their regular duties, employees also have to deal with these sudden impossible assignments.

5. There are also many issues involving managers’ personal moods and double standards. For example, when they are in a good mood or need something from you, they greet you with a smile and speak softly; when they are in a bad mood, they make sarcastic remarks and look extremely sour. Or they may suddenly dump work they cannot finish onto you, then, if they happen to think of it later, ask why you still haven’t finished it (regardless of whether there was enough time), and berate you for needing to pay attention to the schedule. Meanwhile, even when they have accumulated a great deal of work themselves and are affecting business progress, they leisurely do irrelevant things, such as changing the toner in a newly purchased photocopier (when there is nothing to print), browsing online shopping sites, watching music videos by Korean groups, suddenly deciding to organize files, and so on.

There’s still so much more that I could go on about. Anyone with an adventurous, go-getter attitude is welcome to come experience it for themselves.

Overtime and meetings are as routine as eating; other people’s time isn’t considered time, and one person is expected to juggle multiple roles. Only engineers are favored, but the pay isn’t high either!

1. Unlimited overtime with no overtime pay. If you leave work on time, your manager may even wonder whether you have been given too little work and desperately look for things to give you to do.

2. The owner and managers are unfamiliar with how to run the company, changing the management model slightly every month and significantly every three months.
