The list of drawbacks is endless.
If you are applying for a design position: beware of the underground manager, whose surname is Wu. Relying on being the most senior and on the support of the boss’s wife behind the scenes, this person abuses their power over people within and across departments.
If you are applying for a position on the production floor: the floor section chief cannot manage the foreign workers. Taiwanese employees should beware of low pay and being worked to death.
If you are applying for a sales position: sales may look harmonious, but everyone competes for the same orders, sets traps for one another, and shifts responsibility when something goes wrong.
If you are applying for another office position: the starting salary is the same as that of a foreign worker, but you will be required to work overtime to the point of exhaustion.

If you have experience, definitely don’t come here.
Those without experience can come here just to pad their résumé.
If you come here hoping to learn something, basically there is nothing to learn—you can only learn how to scheme against others.
The company appears famous and large, but internally it is a complete mess full of pitfalls.
The procurement and sales managers love shifting responsibility and digging holes for others to fall into.
The design manager is the boss’s wife. Experienced designers are better off not coming to work here, because the underground manager will find a way to drive you out.

Interviewed position: Executive Assistant
Other than Wednesdays, overtime is required most days. The supervisor said he often stays until 10 p.m.
It is a two-day weekend, but overtime may occasionally be required on Saturdays as well. (Overtime pay is provided.)
The starting salary is 32K. There will be an annual raise based on performance, but the amount of the raise was not specified.
Those without family responsibilities can give it a try!
None
I interviewed with many companies, and this one felt the worst. They spoke as fast as rap and also very quietly. They invited me for an interview but gave a perfunctory, careless explanation. The questions they asked were also really speechless. If you don't believe me, you can go interview there yourself.

They want you to have work experience,
but the salary level is that of a recent graduate.
They slash your expected salary three times in a row.
They persuade you by saying that if you're willing to learn, there will be opportunities for a raise.
The reason they give for cutting your salary is:
Your work experience is unrelated to the company's business operations!
Even if you are already an experienced veteran at other companies,
TP-Link will say they want to cultivate you, but your salary has to start over from scratch.
