Read the community guidelines1. The office is new, the restrooms are clean, and you can rent a motorcycle parking space from the landlord in the basement.
2. They use the full Azure suite. If you want to become familiar with it, you might consider this place. Since nobody understands the technology anyway, you can launch whatever services you want without worrying about the bill, so it’s very suitable for practice.
3. The office has a total heat-exchange ventilation system, so the air doesn’t feel stuffy.
4. Monitors are provided.
5. It’s very close to the MRT station.
6. Although the compensation is worlds apart from what banks offer, you can fool your older relatives during Lunar New Year by telling them you work at CTBC.
1. The manager has no software development skills (the team he used to be part of was very successful, and he mistakenly believes it was his own achievement). He is good at pretending to understand and making grand promises. (He constantly says, “I worked at XX for more than ten years.”)
2. The requesting departments are not held accountable for submitting requirements, making it difficult to narrow them down.
3. As a result, project schedules are repeatedly delayed, causing the teams to start looking for someone to blame.
4. Three managers left in just two years, and all the developers under them have been replaced twice.
5. Employee stock trusts will be treated as part of your compensation during salary negotiations, so be careful.
6. You must be satisfied with the salary from the start; otherwise, there isn’t much room for growth after you join. (If your colleagues transferred from a bank, don’t compare yourself with them under any circumstances XD)
7. Your appearance won’t affect your work, but it will affect many details... XD
