Legacy reviews: 8
You can learn how to give unconditionally to the company.
When COVID-19 broke out, the stores were extremely busy before the Lunar New Year. We still had to take turns guarding the stores from Lunar New Year's Eve through the third day of the new year. Then, after the new year, when it was time to pay the bonuses, the company realized that everyone's performance was too good and was reluctant to pay the bonuses. It delayed payment for two weeks and then paid only one-third of the original amount. Only after facing pressure from employee protests did it agree to pay the original amount.
None
The company headquarters looks extremely small, and the manager asked you very academic questions. Since I had already been out of school for a long time, they didn’t ask about the actual process or workflow of system development at all. They asked what 2 to the 1,000th power divided by 8 equals—questions like that, even though I’ve been working for so many years; the limitations of five database systems; inheritance and polymorphism. I said that being able to implement things is more important, but he damn well insisted that he had been writing code for 3.40 years and that these things were extremely important. I have developed many systems without using this approach. It felt like he might also teach part-time elsewhere, which is why he asked these questions. The salary is also very low—38K. For an experienced engineer, this company should really be considered unbelievably stingy. You can’t smoke = =. Anyway, it seems suitable for recent graduates with a strong theoretical background. There is no coding test. After reading the reviews above, I suddenly really regret wasting my time going to this company.
None, I was directly sent a rejection letter.
They knew you were “unqualified” without even conducting an interview. Perhaps this is yet another case of employers in this forsaken country requiring graduates with pure-blood master’s or doctoral degrees from one of Taiwan’s top four universities to participate in their Golden Horse and Golden Bell Awards competition for a 22K salary with no year-end bonus, no holiday bonuses, voluntary overtime, and no overtime pay.
Combined with the reviews from previous years, this appears to be yet another unscrupulous company.
1. Headquarters—if no cases are transferred, there’s no work. The temperature is consistently comfortable, and the company is backed by a core business, so you generally don’t need to worry about the company being unable to pay salaries. As long as you’re a relative, you have a chance of being favored!
2. It’s very easy to get by
3. You can wear slippers to work and treat the company like your own home
4. If you want a company where it’s very easy to obtain involuntary separation and severance pay, this company is truly the top choice. Although they’re quite stingy about buying certain things, they’re very generous with severance pay and involuntary separation
The boss’s thinking is extraordinarily impressive. Today, he’ll say we’re going to do it one way; after the processes, plans, and vendors have all been discussed and settled, the next day he’ll immediately say we’re going to do it the opposite way, then force everyone to change it, throwing everything out and starting over. Even more amazing is that after you spend three months redoing it, he’ll say he wants it the original way again. Haha—didn’t see that coming, did you?
The deadlines the boss gives are also extraordinarily impressive. Today, he’ll give you a week to do something, and the next day he’ll ask whether it’s done yet. He thinks everything is simple and can be learned in one day, and the next day he’ll expect you to know how to use something you didn’t know before.
The company has an extremely large number of people who are useless and hold everyone back. But of course, the boss’s ability to judge people is also extraordinarily impressive: he appoints people based on personal relationships. As long as you know how to flatter him and obey, that’s enough.
The boss has very original ideas about financial planning, so not paying vendors who help with work is apparently perfectly normal.
The boss also has many very unusual ideas, so don’t think about communicating with him. The opinions of us ignorant commoners will not be adopted.
The boss is very concerned about employees’ ability to train their sixth sense. Employees often need to use psychic abilities, so don’t expect the boss to clearly tell you what he wants. You have to be self-reliant about this sort of thing.
Other than that, the place is genuinely quite dirty and messy. The entire company is basically Mickey Mouse’s Clubhouse.
Oh, right—even though the benefits section says there are bonuses, you have to ask for them yourself! If no bonus is paid, it’s definitely the employees’ problem!
Hmm... Does the COO look a lot like Wu Kang-ren?
Hmm... 5,000 characters probably wouldn’t be enough to write it all. A sunset industry + family business + being headstrong and self-willed + disregarding the law = ?
You all can draw your own conclusions.
Huh!? How could there be any?
Don't waste your beautiful life; come experience a traditional family business.
1. Headquarters reward and disciplinary system—the commendation provides employees with NT$200.
2. Every Monday and Thursday, frontline employees below department-manager level clean the entire fourth-floor office area by assigned zones, cultivating employees’ habit of manual labor.
3. An old, half-finished ERP system: the waiting time for entering orders, opening new files, and saving files occurs at least several times a day, requiring waits of 30 seconds to 1 minute each time—suitable for cultivating employees’ patience.
4. The CEO often promotes that when he works as an external lecturer, he charges money, while sharing life lessons and work goals with internal employees is free of charge; he hopes employees will keep this gratitude in their hearts.
5. The employee price for company products is actually the same as the store’s member price—everyone is treated equally, with no special discount whatsoever.
6. An opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of a family business, including the internal power struggles among sibling shareholders.
7. The CEO’s way of treating employees to shaved ice is to buy several bowls of frozen desserts, pour them all into a soup pot, and then ask employees to serve themselves using mugs.
8. Headquarters changes its orders and procedures from morning to evening (forms and workflows), testing frontline employees’ ability to adapt when facing their superiors.
9. Suitable for employees who love working more than 8–12 hours a day at the company.
1. On their first day, employees must sign a probation waiver (stating that during the first month, the company may require employees to resign according to business needs, and employees may not make any demands), along with a note stating that leaving voluntarily without written resignation approval means the employee automatically forfeits that month’s salary.
2. The company does not issue offer letters, so the agreed salary is adjusted downward to some extent on the employee’s reporting date. It is presented as a one-month probationary period, but after that month, employees are verbally informed that it has become a three-month probationary period.
3. On statutory holidays, headquarters employees support store activities without overtime pay, compensatory leave, or transportation reimbursement.
4. When employees’ salaries are adjusted, the increase is at least NT$200.
5. The headquarters’ clock-in system mini-program often breaks, resulting in manual sign-ins.
6. The headquarters’ ERP system is like a vehicle assembled from miscellaneous parts; modifying data can even overwrite correct information.
7. It is unbearably hot early in the morning in summer, yet the company’s air conditioning still is not turned on until after 8:30 a.m., as usual.
8. The CEO has a strong subjective bias. Sometimes, when employees do more, he criticizes them for being meddlesome; at other times, when employees do less, he changes his tune and says they are not proactive enough.
