The company’s workforce is aging
Gaps are beginning to appear between departments
Newcomers may face a lack of guidance, being scapegoated when things go wrong, and supervisors making things difficult under the guise of doing what’s best for you while tacitly allowing double standards from long-time employees…
Free lunch, a cafeteria, gifts provided for all three major holidays, and indoor scooter parking.
Senior colleagues in the warehouse department make sarcastic and cutting remarks. There is no mutual assistance within the department, nor are new employees guided by senior colleagues. After being hired, you may be asked to handle exports without anyone showing you how to do it. When you report a problem, they only pass it on to another supervisor.
Managers at the section level are outsiders who do not understand the warehouse or how it operates. Externally, they only try to please managers from other departments, while internally they take a high-handed attitude.
Think twice before coming to work in the warehouse.
Flexible working hours
Free lunch
Dormitory available (cost: 1,500)
It sounds like there is a lot of solid, comprehensive training
No overtime pay (They say there is a fixed overtime allowance? But I don't really understand it; it feels like there isn't any)
The company provides desktop computers. If you need a laptop, you have to apply separately, and they don't purchase one for you directly—instead, they provide a subsidy in installments (spread over one and a half years)
I've heard there are really a lot of long-term employees with more than 10 years of service
It looks very impressive from the outside.
The manager was parachuted in, leading to internal power struggles. Some people resigned, some retired, and others were transferred; only those with connections remain in power, protecting one another while exploiting under-the-table opportunities.
Very bad
Your mindset is simply that you want to find slaves.
Choosing a company is truly important.
And your company is the worst and most despicable kind.
Prepare to be eliminated by the times.
None
Managers only know how to bullshit.
If you really want someone with certain skills, then offer a salary that isn’t such a pathetic joke.
If working at this company means having to put up with this kind of disrespectful treatment, then forget it.
Free lunch
1. The company does not provide laptops, and this was not disclosed during the interview. Employees have to purchase one themselves, with the company paying in installments over three years. Are they so afraid of employees resigning that they have to bind them this way? If you do not buy a laptop, they will provide an extremely old desktop computer. It is humiliating—clearly intended to make employees unable to stand it and buy their own computer.
2. The company violates the Labor Standards Act. Unused annual leave cannot be exchanged for money, and unused leave cannot be carried over to the following year, causing many employees to take a large amount of leave during the last one or two months of the year. The boss does not interfere with employees taking leave, but projects still have to be completed on schedule, so many people effectively work from home or simply do not take leave. In any case, the person who suffers the loss is not the boss.
3. The office is old and has cockroaches and rats. The bathroom lighting is dim. How poor do they have to be to let things get this bad?
4. Meetings covering the same content are spread across several days each month, running from morning until night. Lunch breaks are delayed, and meetings also extend past the end of the workday to 7–8 p.m. It is extremely old-fashioned.
5. The colleagues are very old, work slowly, and are rigid, with little interaction.
6. If you are particularly willing to be exploited, this place may be for you. That is what suits a family business!
Can't think of any.
1. A family business full of relatives and cronies.
2. The overall system is terribly inefficient and old-fashioned.
3. People online say that whether you have to work overtime depends on the department. Some departments work themselves to death, continue working after going home, and even bring their computers along to work on holidays.
4. It is definitely not a stable, happy company. Those who are willing to be exploited are welcome to join.
No need to work overtime
Severe internal infighting; warehouse management personnel are parachuted into the production line. This kind of thinking is probably about not making money and forcing the workforce.
The colleagues are easy to get along with. If you’re looking to settle into a comfortable job for the long term or run a side business, you could join this company.
There is severe infighting among departments, with no cross-departmental collaboration. The company’s average employee age is relatively high, and its thinking is traditional, with no innovation. It continues to operate according to outdated ideas and has not been profitable in recent years. It has begun reducing its workforce, and year-end bonuses are distributed based on 1.5 months’ salary.
The company is fairly large, overtime is not too frequent, colleagues are generally easy to get along with, and the average tenure is quite long.
There is no overtime pay, no year-end or spring banquet, and limited salary increases. It is a family business with average benefits. Performance has declined in recent years, personnel costs are being reduced, and the organization changes from time to time.
A publicly listed company; all the necessary systems are in place; more than 700 employees in Taiwan; a multinational group; stable work.
It is essentially a family business that has developed over time. Senior management needs political public relations. The industry has already passed its golden age, so salaries and benefits will relatively shrink. The company is not making money.
Large company
For the foreign sales position, I was asked to take a test first. After finishing, HR had me wait for 20 minutes. After the interview, I waited nearly another 40 minutes for the manager, only to be told that the manager was abroad and unavailable, so they sent a so-called senior salesperson instead.
When I asked about overtime pay, the senior salesperson only said that the entire company operates under a responsibility-based system, so there probably is no overtime pay.
Later, they said they would schedule another interview with the manager next time.
I feel this is a company that does not respect interviewees.
