The company owner is incredibly stingy, and there’s a female manager named Kxxx who is extremely difficult to deal with. It’s the most painful place I’ve ever worked.
Has everyone noticed that the proportion of positive reviews is unbelievably high?
These are supposed to be people sharing their work experiences, yet the messages are all about introducing the company and lavishly praising how perfect it is?
As for the authenticity of comments that repeatedly praise the company as perfect—if you're smart, you know the truth in your heart.
You deserve a better choice
After the senior manager was transferred, the organizational atmosphere improved noticeably. Operations are much smoother than in the previous few years, possibly because there is less internal politics XD. When pushing things forward, you no longer have to worry about the budget from every angle~ Definitely recommend it. Also, the pay is pretty good!
There is never enough money!!!

I work at Daikin's subsidiary, Daikin Advanced Materials, which makes FFKM seals such as O-rings from Daikin's raw materials. The products themselves have high technical barriers, and with Daikin's resources, they have a clear competitive advantage in the market. The factory also often requires overtime, but overtime pay is provided~
Most colleagues are willing to share their experience. In practice, it is a culture of “working together to get things done,” rather than focusing only on individual KPIs, so it may be a drawback for people who prefer to work alone~
After the company went public, its systems became noticeably more mature. There have been significant improvements in processes, internal controls, and decision-making transparency since the listing. It’s a great fit for people who want to develop their careers long term~ The work environment is much more stable.
There are really a lot of rules, and sometimes filling out forms can be a bit of a hassle XD
After the company was listed on the over-the-counter market, its systems became noticeably more mature, with significant improvements in processes, internal controls, and decision-making transparency. It’s very suitable for people who want to develop their careers long term—the work environment is much more stable.

You can learn quite a lot because you have to learn how to solve problems on your own.
Choosing the right place is the first step to success.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease—you have to learn to complain loudly about how hard you work and how much effort you put in.
Otherwise, no matter how much you do, you’ll just be doing the work for someone else’s benefit. Your supervisor won’t care who did it; as long as someone gets it done, that’s all that matters.
You need to know how to proactively report your progress and contributions; otherwise, you’re no different from the person next door slacking off and scrolling on their phone.
After all, it’s a sales job, so you can train your speaking skills and logical thinking (but if your logic isn’t very good, you’d better not come).
When you have questions, you can ask them, and supervisors are always happy to answer—except for certain matters.
Because the campus is large, you can practice your driving skills.
Cliques are quite serious. Even with only a handful of people in the office and among your coworkers, they can form cliques. Some coworkers are difficult to talk to and overly confident, while some expect you to fit in and develop rapport quickly (so if you have social anxiety, you’d better not come).
You have to keep looking for customers. The way of finding users is the kind that makes users wonder why you’re ALWAYS appearing in front of them—it’s annoying (very senior veterans think this is a good way to build relationships with users).
Your Chinese needs to be good; otherwise, you’ll be watched closely over certain matters.
It’s best not to ask "detailed" professional questions; otherwise, your coworkers may report you to upper management, and you’ll be called in for a talk and treated to coffee.
Terrible, terrible, terrible
All they do is squeeze their employees dry
None at all, just being mistreated
Most of the senior employees are very difficult to get along with… they don’t properly train new hires.
During my second week, one of them told me to stop asking questions and figure things out myself. After teaching me something once, I asked to confirm whether it was the same as my understanding, and they responded in a very harsh tone, saying, “Can you write it down?” (I really did take notes; I just wanted to confirm that my understanding was correct. I don’t like making mistakes and then wasting time redoing things correctly.) But during the interview, they asked whether I would be afraid to ask questions. When I did ask, their tone was still unpleasant and they told me to figure it out myself.
Once, the person training me said that the shared drive was down and told me to log everyone out first, adding that if I needed any data, I could just send it by email.
Since we ordered lunch through the shared drive…
I asked, “What about lunch, then?”
They replied, “It’s down, so we can’t place the order…”
The next day, I asked a colleague sitting nearby whether the shared drive was down.
The colleague replied, “…No, I’m still using it!!”
My coworkers in the same department didn’t help me place the order or pay any attention to me. Someone from another department noticed that I hadn’t ordered anything and came over to ask what was wrong. I responded loudly and very bluntly, “XXX said the shared drive was down, so we couldn’t place the lunch order.”
Every time I entered the items into Excel (including the quantities and serial numbers), I checked the quantities N times. I also counted everything at least twice, and checked the data again while entering it. After confirming that everything was correct, I emailed the Excel file to them. Yet the next day, one item would always be missing, and they would ask me to look for it in the warehouse. After I searched all day until almost the end of my shift, they would calmly say, “Look, you entered this incorrectly.” Because of this, I even asked N former colleagues who had worked with me for four years, “Did I used to keep entering things incorrectly like this?” (Entering the wrong information or accidentally entering the wrong price can be extremely serious and troublesome, so I have a habit of checking things many times and keeping evidence that the mistake wasn’t mine.)
The year-end bonus is quite good; generally, you can receive the equivalent of 3–4 months’ salary. However, because the base salary is not high, the actual amount is not particularly impressive.
I feel that the company lacks a proper system. Although they say that meetings are held for discussion, in reality, the general manager’s opinion is the main deciding factor.
Moreover, later on they hired a plant manager from Innolux. He is quite capable in business matters, but his management behind the scenes is disorganized. He also brought in his own people, making his personal bias quite obvious.
