If you want to pursue a career in pig farming, you can start by learning from the ground up.

The work environment and benefits are not great, so think carefully before coming.

From an outside observer’s perspective, every department except Marketing seems very harmonious.

So many people have left; after thinking it over, I still feel I should help save those considering applying for an interview.

A manager joined the Marketing Department who constantly emphasizes having worked at a large advertising agency that supposedly had foreign investment. Since her (or his) arrival, team members have been driven away one by one. The entire department has left since she (or he) came, resulting in a complete turnover. Newcomers are driven away as well, leaving only interns struggling to hold things together. This manager likes speaking to people in a top-down manner and is also a control freak. You’d better not express any opinions or suggest alternative ways of doing things after she (or he) has spoken, or you’ll be seen as opposing her (or him). At work, she (or he) deliberately nitpicks. If even one aspect of your working method does not follow her (or his) steps, it will be scrutinized and blown out of proportion. When a project comes in, she (or he) won’t discuss it or explain much to you, but will leave you to fend for yourself. If you ask her (or him) more questions, be mentally prepared to be met with sarcastic remarks. She (or he) dislikes interacting with others but tries very hard to pretend to be approachable; however, the smile does not reach her (or his) eyes, and what she (or he) says often leaves everyone sitting in awkward silence. If you stand up one minute early during lunch to go steam your lunchbox, expect to be summoned and reprimanded. The same goes for arriving late to work. There are far too many examples to list; this is all I can do to help.

After all, it is a traditional manufacturing company, so working hours are very rigid, and lunch breaks are also strictly timed. If you arrive five minutes late for work, you are considered late, must take leave, and will have your pay deducted. All kinds of rules are rigidly enforced. During working hours, the office atmosphere is so quiet and devoid of interaction that you can hear a pin drop.

Convenient transportation

Salary paid on time

Paid leave can be taken normally

A good place for newcomers to gain experience

Colleagues are very friendly

It’s not particularly bad,

but these are probably things you’ll encounter at any large company.

Some departments often interfere in other departments’ affairs.

Authority and responsibilities are a complete mess.

For example, the manager of Department A acts like the manager of Department ABC.

The quality of managers varies widely.

They don’t understand the current industry landscape but pretend that they do.

There are often lackeys who treat a feather as a royal warrant,

but without that warrant, getting anything done is extremely, extremely, extremely difficult.

People pass the buck to one another, and no manager steps up to take responsibility.

The most common thing you’ll see is bad money driving out good money (you see it all the time!).

You’ll see original colleagues being replaced by “resource recycling.”

1. Convenient transportation, near the MRT station

Applying for an IT position

1. The main work involves maintaining old projects. During the interview, it was disclosed that someone had resigned due to being unable to adapt.

2. Requires concurrently serving as SA/PM/PG, resulting in a wide range of miscellaneous duties

They state it plainly: the company simply does not comply with the Labor Standards Act. There are only six days off per month. You come in at 8 a.m. every day, and at 5 p.m., you can try seeing whether you can leave on time. Saturdays are scheduled days off; if you are not taking the day off, you come to the company to handle things. At least they are fairly honest about it~

During the interview, they ask you to fill out a bunch of incomprehensible psychological-test questionnaires,

require detailed information about you personally, your relatives and friends, and your references,

the company’s products have no competitive advantages,

they demand highly capable employees but cannot offer market-rate salaries~

Transferring employees to a subsidiary involves having them resign first and then rehiring them, but it is a tactic that resets their seniority and annual leave to zero.
