Pros

Free lunch boxes on Fridays

Good benefits and very high bonuses for full-time employees

Clean environment

Cons

For dispatched workers, becoming a full-time employee is basically very difficult without working for 3–5 years.

If you want to find a full-time position, it’s faster to look elsewhere.

There are quite a few redundant employees inside. If you’re a dispatched worker and see people who earn more than you but do worse work, it’s really easy to become demoralized.

Pros

The environment is clean, and the employee break room is pretty good.

Cons

There are no SOPs for production-line operations. For the most part, line leaders provide verbal instruction, so how quickly you learn depends on who trains you. Some people act as though you should already know everything. Try your best not to make mistakes; otherwise, even minor issues will be blown completely out of proportion (that’s just how things work there). You have to learn to protect yourself. The company basically relies on temporary agency workers. The benefits are good after becoming a permanent employee, but there aren’t many openings. So if you want a permanent position, I don’t recommend coming here—you may spend a very long time being treated as disposable labor. There are many people who have been working there for two or three years competing with you for those positions. If you like flattering people, you could give it a try; the seniority-based, mentor-junior culture there really rewards that.

Pros

Has following regulations really become an advantage?

Cons

HR believes that the company has fulfilled its responsibilities by paying you a salary and bonuses. There are many older employees and a strong bureaucratic atmosphere; even the accounting manager demoted to a subsidiary is like that.

.....

Cons

Don't come work at this company.

It's really terrible.

An American company, but in practice it operates in a distinctly Taiwanese way.

Absolutely awful.

Pros

The company's internal environment is quite good.

The lunch is decent.

There is free lunch every Friday.

Cons

New hires are almost always brought in as dispatched workers.....

The pay is not high, and there are many miscellaneous tasks.

In the department I worked in, on the shipping side, the daily work consisted of picking and shipping orders.

However, the locations where items were stored were very disorganized, and some items were simply difficult to find.

It was not that the items were unavailable; they were either stored in the wrong places or in places that were hard to locate, so they could not be found.

Inventory was frequently checked, but the records were very disorganized, giving the impression that management was not handled well.

Then there was unpacking, inspection, and shelving.

I felt that working in this department did not feel like working in the tech industry at all.

It was simply a place with a lot of miscellaneous tasks.......

Pros

01 The food is quite good, and free group meals are provided on Fridays.

02 Low base salary, high bonuses.

03 Follows regulations.

04 Full-time employees receive benefits in the form of bonuses.

05 A stable American company.

Cons

01 Some departments have a high frequency of overtime (some supervisors expect their subordinates to work more overtime). If you want to leave work on time, choose your department carefully. (Overtime pay is provided.)

02 At present, most new employees are recruited through dispatch or contract positions (with contracts renewed every six months). Dispatch and contract employees essentially receive no benefits—no year-end bonus, and no bonuses for the three traditional festivals. Contract employees do not receive meal subsidies for lunch, while dispatched employees do not even have parking spaces......

03 It is unclear whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage, but most of the people at the company are Hakka. If you are Hoklo, you may feel that everyone around you is speaking a language you cannot understand.

Pros

Low work pressure, fairly free.

Cons

A commercially oriented company—don't call it a tech company. It lacks professional expertise and clearly violates the Labor Standards Act (some departments do not pay overtime). It trades on its foreign-company name but operates in a typically Taiwanese manner. The quality of its staff varies widely, as does that of its managers. It may be worth considering for those looking to coast, but young people who want to accomplish something should choose carefully!!!

Pros

The base salary is very low—even with a master’s degree and three years of work experience, they only offer NT$40K.

The work atmosphere is somewhat American-style, and working hours are flexible.

There are free cookies and cola in the pantry.

I suggest not joining R&D (everyone shares the same pool, so you receive roughly the same bonus as less demanding departments).

Unless your performance rating is very good, there is not much differentiation.

It’s better to raise your base salary by moving to another company first, then come here.

Pros

The base salary is on the low-to-mid side, but there are substantial bonuses.

You won't make a fortune, but you can maintain a good quality of life.

A quietly excellent company.
