None

Typical traditional manufacturing company culture

The atmosphere at work is serious and restrained

There is no comprehensive training

Which leads to disorganized work practices

Resulting in a vicious cycle where overtime becomes the norm

Supervisors sometimes also have no idea what is going on

The company uses “being given opportunities to grow” as an excuse

The actual work is vastly different from the position discussed in the interview

Put bluntly, you are simply taking on the tasks your colleagues do not want to do

Moreover, the internal management system is seriously problematic

The turnover rate in the department is extremely high

If you have your own ideas and come to work with a learning mindset

I advise you not to join

Do not be deceived by the halo of a large company

A massive red flag

Nope~

The experience is largely the same as that described in another review.

Although it is a large company, like most Taiwanese companies, it paints a very rosy picture at the beginning, but that is not actually the case. It is a traditional company completely driven by sales, and there are many problems between departments such as marketing, merchandising, and product development (I don't want to use the word “design”).

Also, I was somewhat surprised that there were apparently no records of any violations of the Labor Standards Act (?)

Large company

1. At first, when interviewing for Position A, it was agreed that I would only help with tasks related to Position B. However, later on, all of my time was spent handling Position B's responsibilities (A and B are completely different fields of expertise). When discussing this issue with the main supervisor, they would use “gaining more experience” as a pretext to require you to do more. Bringing work home every day and sometimes working until the early hours of the morning was commonplace.

2. Generally, there was not much interaction among colleagues in the company. You had to be very careful about the overt and covert power struggles. The middle-level manager I encountered would praise you to your face but speak ill of you in front of the supervisor to demonstrate their own abilities. You had to be especially cautious about such behavior there.

3. If you wanted to learn anything, I essentially felt that you could not learn much because the main supervisor was not very familiar with how this industry operates. As a result, you could not learn the correct methods. Have you ever seen an outdoor brand change the promotions on its official website over and over every day? When daily performance was poor, constantly changing promotions directly increased the workload of the people below. Most importantly, performance still did not improve, and the supervisor was unwilling to use the correct methods.

4. There was a performance bonus, but my department's performance was so poor that it could essentially be said there was no bonus at all. So, if performance bonuses came up in discussions, you should pay close attention.

All of the above was something I dreamed, but on the morning when I woke from that dream, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I thought, fortunately, I had chosen to wake up from the dream early and could welcome a new morning.
