Read the community guidelines1. Engineers often travel for work and can fly to many countries.
2. The benefits are considered pretty good for a machine-tool company; the backer behind it is Tongtai.
3. The assistant general manager is quite imaginative and hardworking, and fairly handsome.
1. Those with a manager title basically have no authority; every decision has to be referred to the assistant general manager.
2. The sales department is terrible. There are six salespeople, mainly three strange middle-aged women: one is overweight (constantly filled with confidence from who-knows-where); one is fond of cosmetic procedures and looks like Xiuqin, and likes to say she is the most beautiful woman in the Asia-Pacific region (her relationship with mainland Chinese distributors is unusual—just ask any Asia-Pacific employee and they will know); the other looks very mean (and speaks very meanly too, with a short, dark, square face). The remaining two male and one female salespeople are basically useless. I have traveled for work with the three aforementioned middle-aged women; they work for one or two days, use company funds to play for several days and submit the expenses for reimbursement, then tell the company how hard they worked on the business trip. The most poisonous department.
3. Salespeople like to accept orders recklessly, making life miserable for the engineers and causing everyone to struggle every day.
1. Parking is available
2. Free lunch
3. Frontline employees are straightforward and easy to get along with
4. The Applications Department is great
5. Engineers can travel frequently for work
6. The company is still a fairly major brand in the five-axis field
7. The senior manager has many ideas and is a good manager
1. The managers fight among themselves, no one wants to deal with anyone else, and whenever something goes wrong, they all dump it on the senior manager
2. The Sales Department is basically the most toxic department: it engages in infighting, accepts orders recklessly, and even berates other departments. The Sales Department consists of a group of older women who constantly distort the facts and wage battles against other departments, with no logic whatsoever
3. Benefits keep being cut; the grand prize at the year-end party is only NT$20,000
4. It is very suitable to come here for a sales position. Sales has it easy and consists of a group of mature women who love scheming against one another and are at odds with all the other departments
5. Turnover is extremely high; all the capable people have left
6. Business-trip benefits are cut every year
7. A distributor in mainland China can control the strategy for the Asia-Pacific region, which is mind-boggling, and can even reprimand employees at the plant
