No matter how much they earn, they will never give back to employees; they promote a culture of bootlicking, are best at exploiting and pressuring employees, and there are hazards everywhere in the workplace with no safety measures.
Retirement support
Nan Jiao Chemical has been split into Nan Jiao Investment Holdings, Nan Jiao Oils and Fats, and Huaqiang Industrial for quite some time. During the interview process, no one told me which company would handle my labor and health insurance.
After joining, I even received holiday gifts with less than a month remaining before their expiration date. In addition, people often smoke around the entrances and exits of the Taipei headquarters. Does the boss know about these things?
A good place to retire
A listed company that doesn't even have standardized procedures or system software. All you need is the ability to manage upwards; actual work skills are completely unnecessary. Every day is spent painting grand visions and shouting slogans, and they can even accidentally miscalculate the salary they are supposed to pay. A company that feels good about itself and operates in utter chaos.
There are absolutely no advantages. Don’t come here and waste your life....
The comments here are all completely true.
The comments above are all accurate. They are genuinely the reflections of people who have worked at Namchow and experienced it firsthand.
An imperial-court culture: the entire company does its utmost to flatter the “Chen family royals.” No one dares to defy the imperial will, resulting in the company neglecting its actual business and instead serving the royal nobles. Upper management is very good at exploiting labor. There are no typhoon days off, no opportunities for promotion or raises, and besides poor pay, the benefits are also very poor. Employees are even forced to buy the company’s outrageously expensive products. In addition, there is no overtime pay, and employees are forced not to clock in or out to avoid being discovered by the labor bureau... In short, it is truly awful. I deeply regret joining this company.
One more thing: don’t assume that this company has proper systems just because it is publicly listed.... In reality, the inside of the company is a complete mess, with no correct way or logic for doing things (absolutely no SOPs). There are far too few employees (exploiting staff), so one person does the work of several. It is genuinely worse than a small company. Sigh.
Listening to Ms. Kao’s tall tales, you can be completely taken in at the time, but when you get home and think about them with normal logic, they’re simply a load of nonsense! But they’re pretty funny~
Absolutely terrible—exactly the same, with no improvement.
If, when you report for work, your department head’s surname is Wu and your direct supervisor’s surname is Kao, really, don’t waste your time. Seriously.
They’re both equally petty, incompetent, fond of lying, and prone to forming little cliques. All those rumors below are true.
The hiring manager was fairly sincere and organized.
Interviewing for a Japanese-language specialist position
The interviewer was condescending and directly told me that they were only looking for a translator, that my job would be to translate, and that I would have no opportunities for promotion because I was merely a translator. No wonder the position had been posted on 104 for so long.

The application form asks for family background, contact information and addresses of former colleagues..... It also asks whether you are single, married, or divorced. Just seeing an application form like this makes me not want to join the company.
1. A large company, a good stepping stone, suitable for gaining experience.
2. Stable, suitable for people without ambition.
Overall, it is not a pleasant company to stay at.
1. Although the news reports that it earns tens of billions, there seems to be no intention of giving employees a raise. Compensation, year-end bonuses, and profit sharing are all quite ordinary. The Little Chef instant-noodle department is especially poor! The female assistant surnamed Wu is incompetent, likes to cause trouble, and arbitrarily gives unjustified year-end evaluations.
2. There is no proper channel for filing complaints about bullying, targeting, or sexual harassment.
3. Bad money drives out good: internal conflict is severe, and everyone only seeks to protect themselves. The work mainly involves placating senior management and teaching procedures.
4. Unlike other companies, there are no company movie screenings, outings and group meals, sports days, or similar activities. The workforce is generally older and less energetic, so young people do not stay long; they resign after being unable to tolerate it a few months after joining.
5. A court-like, dynastic corporate culture. It is easy for people to deceive those above them and conceal things from those below; frontline employees are the easiest to exploit.
The supervisor is mindless and bizarre.
I went to interview for a position in the Nanqiao Xiaochu department today. The supervisor was a special assistant named Wu, Chen Feilong. The interview lasted a little over an hour, and about 70% of the time was spent listening to this supervisor talk about how impressive he was. A textbook case of an inflated ego. This was the first time throughout my interviews that I had encountered such an exaggerated situation; it made me feel extremely uncomfortable! It didn't really feel like a large company—there was a serious amount of grandstanding and empty promises, as if everyone were interviewing for the first time... How could someone like this be hired as a supervisor? President Chen must be out of his mind...

Interview: [Little Chef Product] Marketing Planner_ Taipei Headquarters
Sorry, we have already found a suitable candidate, so we are canceling this interview for now.
If there are other suitable positions for you in the future, we will notify you first about an interview.
Thank you!
Damn, the interview time had already been arranged. I only asked at the last minute why the position had been closed on the website, and then they hurriedly told me they had already found someone and that I shouldn’t come to the interview.
I had already left home before they notified me that I didn’t need to attend the interview. What kind of situation is that?
