1. You have to teach your supervisor how to be a supervisor.
2. There isn't much worthwhile technical knowledge to learn from the team's work.
3. There are no systems and no SOPs.
4. They like having new employees train newer employees.
5. Work responsibilities are not clearly divided. The supervisor says we're a team, so the work won't be clearly assigned.
6. During interviews, they don't clearly explain the job responsibilities (they first trick people into joining). When you have doubts about the job responsibilities, they tell you, "Then let me explain it clearly to you now," and then keep repeating that you need to think carefully about whether you can accept the job responsibilities.
7. New employees are all pressured into doing things that veteran employees are unwilling to do.
In the Systems Integration X department, I was lucky enough to have a good manager. They were kind and even-tempered, and offered flexible hours.
(It’s a shame that, damn it, they’ve already been squeezed dry and are leaving.)
Project planning is only nominal; there are a bunch of senior managers who will not participate in projects.
Exploitation is only directed at junior engineers, while senior technical staff can simply refuse to work,
as well as teams that are easy to bully. In the end, you naturally won’t be on the list for a raise.
Your salary is decided in a single negotiation, so if you want it, negotiate for at least 50,000–60,000 or more. (There are no annual raises; you’ll typically get one only every 2–4 years.)
They can’t retain talent (this place can only be used as a stepping stone).
They don’t provide appropriate rewards, so it’s not suitable for staying long-term. (Eventually you’ll lose your motivation, unless you’re just here to coast until retirement.)
Other than staying until retirement and treating it as a place to coast (e.g., if you’re 40 or 50, you can relax and take it easy; just finish your work),
the atmosphere is mostly tense (it’s only about work, not personal interest).

After notifying you that you were hired and agreeing on a salary, they tell you to close your résumé and turn down other companies. Then, a few days later, they call to cut your salary—by 6,000. If a manager with such little integrity handles things this way, working under them certainly won't be easy, right? Haha!
Afraid of being sued, so they pay overtime according to the Labor Standards Act.
The work is very demanding. The compensation is not high. The supervisor is difficult. Not a company I recommend staying at.
A supervisor in a certain public works department shifts blame onto subordinates without acknowledging it, making them take the fall. In this department, there is only criticism and no praise; the work is tough and dangerous.... Moreover, they often use LINE to regularly send selfies as reports of their work location. The only thing left that is acceptable is the compensation.
A certain manager in the service department at Sanchong is a smiling tiger. If you are not an obedient dog he likes, then no matter how good your repair rate and sales are, he will nail you to the wall over the slightest mistake. Those under him in the same department whom he likes will receive raises and higher year-end bonuses than others. If he does not like you, you will never be able to get a raise, your year-end bonus will always be lower than everyone else’s, and you will always do more work than others.
A certain manager in the testing department is really not okay. They like to constantly keep an eye on people and nag, and they also like to assign work via LINE after working hours. If you’re considering going there, you really need to think it over. You could treat this manager as an opportunity to develop your patience, but they are definitely not a good manager.
