A company whose reviews on Jobanalyzer are almost entirely negative clearly has serious problems. I suggest not wasting time interviewing there—you’ll waste money and end up feeling awful. If the manager’s abilities are limited and their thinking can’t keep up with the new generation, then they shouldn’t pretend to be young; they should obediently go sell their database.
The interview started on time.
The backward-thinking supervisor acted superior and showed no respect for the interviewee. Do they really think digitimes is the center of the global media industry? I was initially puzzled by all the negative reviews online, but after experiencing it firsthand, I found it utterly disgusting. I have serious doubts about this company’s values and would not consider joining.
1. Birthday leave
2. Salary is paid on time
3. The labor and health insurance coverage is relatively high
4. Arts and cultural subsidies
5. The year-end bonus is fairly good
No bonuses for the three major festivals or employee trips

Many of the company’s managers are not particularly capable at getting things done (their strength lies in reading people’s expressions). They constantly watch each other’s reactions, as if afraid of offending someone, making the company internally chaotic. No one dares to deal with the issue; otherwise, they make things difficult for you until you leave. ^^
.
There is relatively little interaction between departments, so I do not know much about the other departments. However, based on my experience in the company’s audiovisual department: I felt that the company really wanted to transform, but the junior managers had limited ability and could not keep up with the thinking of the MZ generation. On the surface, they said they wanted to hear young people’s ideas, but what they did was still the same old thing....
.
The senior managers just talk as if they have done a lot, but after they finish talking, you have no idea what they are saying. If you analyze it carefully, you will find that they are just going around in circles using some very sophisticated words (they really are good at talking).
.
Things within the department are also not transparent. Unless you have a very submissive nature, this is not recommended for people who have their own ideas. Before I left, I wrote a very long letter to HR, but I do not know whether they saw it. Later I thought: the company did not pay me, so why should I give them suggestions at the end? (That makes sense.) All I can say is: You deserve a better place. Best of luck with your job search.
Pros: Birthday leave
HR and General Affairs Manager highlights: She allowed her favorite employee, who had secretly opened a colleague’s locker and stolen money, to return to work, giving him a chance to continue stealing money in other ways. She is adept at arbitrarily smearing others, using extremely long emails to accuse subordinates of failing to follow principles she supposedly stated on a specific date several years ago. Her writing makes it seem as though it really happened, but after checking the records, it was proven that she had never said those things. She also deliberately ignores colleagues’ work成果, personally approving more than a hundred electronic forms while claiming that the colleagues had done nothing.
.
Last year, after an inspection by the Labor Bureau, the clock-in system finally began recording accurate start and end times. Whether employees can actually apply for overtime pay is another matter. Gift boxes are given for the three major holidays; there is no employee trip.
.
.
The year-end party venue is no longer the consistently terrible restaurant, because there is now no restaurant meal at all.
.
Company Day (treated as the year-end party), planned by the HR and General Affairs Manager, had employees split into teams for a large-scale running scavenger hunt through two nearby neighborhoods. Prizes were distributed according to ranking. The organizers did not communicate with the community beforehand. Employees running checkpoints in quiet fire lanes were cursed at by residents, the neighborhood warden showed up and reported it, and the deputy station chief personally intervened. After the run, everyone gathered for the rankings, received two meal vouchers, returned to their seats, and waited until clocking out. A very special Company Day (treated as the year-end party).
.
The situation in which senior management works together to deceive the biggest boss remains unchanged; forming cliques for personal gain and attacking those outside the faction are still part of everyday life. The company’s foundation remains, but if senior management is not replaced, its foundations will soon be shaken. There are still talented, virtuous, and kind colleagues, but quite a few good people have left since 2025.
.
Oh, and be sure to keep an eye on your valuables at work.
There are quite a lot of books, and the pace is slow.
A very conservative place. Personnel changes can only be adjusted once every six months, and job titles must follow the organization’s existing list; employees cannot suggest adding new ones. The company’s operational direction changes frequently, causing the people below to do a lot of work for nothing. Some departments replace half their employees within a year, resulting in high turnover.
.
HR has more power than the hiring department’s manager and can veto the hiring of applicants; it protects its own faction and engages in self-serving collusion, joining forces with operations managers to deceive the company’s top boss. Although the company claims to be made up of “knowledge workers,” it does not like employees working remotely. Even if an employee is injured and has difficulty walking, they must find every possible way to come to the office; they cannot apply to work from home. Its mindset is entirely that of a traditional manufacturing business, viewing “knowledge workers” merely as assemblers on a factory production line who must obediently show up and do their work every day.
.
Those at the top often make things sound wonderful or paint grand pictures, but it usually comes to nothing. Relying on its established base of old customers to keep operating, it is nevertheless ultimately a sinking ship. Anyone who can jump ship should do so as soon as possible. Do not foolishly board this pirate ship—you will only be exploited, with no prospects for growth or future. It is suitable for those who want to coast toward retirement here; those with ambition, goals, or differing opinions are not advised to join.
.
Organizational and operational transformation plans are all futile. It would be faster to directly replace the people (brains) who cling to their positions and have controlled the company’s overall operations for far too long.
1. There is a library, but the collection is somewhat limited; the annual book allowance is NT$800.
2. One day of birthday leave.
3. Employees can attend company-organized seminars for free. Those who want to gain an initial understanding of the electronics industry can take advantage of this, although the scale is not particularly large.
4. The year-end bonus is slightly higher than that of typical traditional industries.
1. The starting salary is on the low side, so you have to rely on the year-end and performance bonuses.
2. The office atmosphere is dead and there is often a feeling of being monitored. The mindset and culture are still stuck 20 years in the past, so those who need remote work are advised not to consider this company.
3. Overtime cannot be reported. When you clock out after working overtime, the system automatically adjusts your records to show normal working hours.
4. There are no cash gifts for the three major holidays (only gift boxes), and there is no employee travel subsidy. They probably just bundle everything into the year-end bonus.
5. The company has high customer loyalty and operates steadily, but its business consists mostly of long-standing customers. It is very difficult for new employees to develop new accounts, as these are all controlled by senior staff.
6. Products and projects are basically determined by what upper management wants to do rather than by market demand. Employees are often busywork, and future growth prospects are average.
7. Departments often pass the buck to one another, much like government agencies. Senior employees are resting on their laurels, while upper-level managers are responsible for embellishing the operating situation in reports to the boss.
Overall, although the company does not have much future potential, new graduates can join to hone their skills for one or two years. They can still learn things during that time.
Birthday leave is provided
1. There is no overtime pay. The clock-in system may block or alter your recorded hours, potentially leaving you with no recourse later.
2. Some supervisors either lack ability or have poor emotional control.
3. Supervisors like to belittle you and make you feel that you would not be able to find another job if you left.
4. They think they offer the most money, but in fact there are no bonuses for the Mid-Autumn Festival or Dragon Boat Festival.
5. Only senior executives receive employee profit-sharing. Should the policy be changed to call it senior executive profit-sharing instead?
6. When the owner publishes a book, the company helps promote and sell it. If it cannot be sold, they give it away, and you still have to explain why it is not profitable.
7. You can never finish all your work, yet they still pressure you to take your annual leave.
8. They frequently threaten you by saying they will deduct points from your performance evaluation.
9. The owner and supervisors think everything is easy and that the company would not suffer much without you. In fact, you deserve somewhere better.
The office is so quiet it’s practically dead silent, and they turn off the lights right at six and send everyone home.
The interview was divided into two stages. The first stage was with HR, and the second was with the manager of the relevant department. Each stage lasted about an hour.
During the first stage, HR asked questions based on the résumé posted on 104. After looking at my work experience, she felt that I had not stayed in any job for more than three years and directly told me that this was not a good thing. She also said that, at my age, I should be settling down and looking for stability. After hearing that, I thought, “Is this the mindset from twenty years ago?” Then, after looking at my portfolio, she started criticizing this and that, saying that I had no experience taking a product from zero to launch and no actual data to support my achievements, such as sales figures. Even after I explained, she didn’t seem to understand very well. I felt extremely disrespected.
I can't think of anything at the moment; at least the salary is always paid on time.
The following conditions have not changed in the past four years:
1. Senior management favors employees who flatter them; capable employees who get things done and dare to offer candid advice are pushed out.
2. Work is distributed unevenly, entirely according to supervisors' preferences. Newcomers and people who do not curry favor with supervisors usually do not get desirable assignments.
3. There are no company trips, and there are no bonuses for the three major festivals—only gift boxes. The year-end banquet venue is always the same (and the food is unpleasant).
4. The industry has no future and can only struggle along. The company is also too slow and indecisive in formulating strategies, and cannot even make a decent app.
5. The company is like a government agency internally, with too many slackers who fool around at work and wait for the end of the day. However, if you have connections, none of this matters.
The environment is average, and the benefits are average too. The office is spacious, but if a newcomer speaks a little too loudly, they will still get scolded.
Some senior employees are extremely good at slacking off, so you need to be careful around them. Not only do they not teach others, they even mock you for not knowing anything. As if not knowing how to teach weren’t enough, they also put on an act as though they know everything. In the end, you discover that the senior employee only has a superficial understanding too. If you ask her, she’ll even snap at you and say, "That’s how my seniors taught me before." So it feels like she was bullied in the past and now thinks bullying you is only fair. Senior employees also abuse their greater seniority or knowledge to act superior. They clearly understand but pretend not to and refuse to teach; they clearly know how but pretend they don’t and refuse to do the work. On top of that, they make random sarcastic remarks. A complete nightmare.
The environment is fairly clean, and the decor is decent.
You have to write a bunch of miscellaneous stuff during the interview. Do they think you’re writing an essay?
Also, don’t believe anything the supervisor promises during the interview. They’ll just keep putting it off anyway.
At first, you may think they seem interested in hiring you, and then they’ll say they’ve reported back to their superiors.
Let me tell you: things like this will ultimately come to nothing. You’ll feel like you’ve been played.
Seriously, I suggest not wasting your time interviewing with this company.
The office is very new, and the reception desk even brought out a white porcelain teapot and teacup set for me to drink water from.
The manager said the company is one of the few profitable media companies.
Before the interview, I had to fill out a ton of online information, including questions about my life plans, work philosophy, motto, and so on. It was so annoying to write. During the HR interview, they checked each item one by one to see whether there were any inconsistencies, creating an atmosphere full of distrust. They kept looking for flaws in the details of my résumé and were extremely picky. The manager was pleasant to talk to and straightforwardly said that they would finalize my start date within the month, but a month passed without any follow-up, giving me false expectations.
1. There is a small library where you can borrow books, but there are few opportunities to use it.
2. There are physical education classes, but if you dare to attend, people will criticize you for having too much free time.
3. The office is spacious and seemingly endless, but so quiet that it does not feel like a normal company.
1. Senior management likes employees who flatter them; those who are capable, get things done, and dare to offer criticism are pushed out.
2. Work is distributed unevenly, with everything assigned according to the supervisor’s preferences. New hires and people who do not curry favor with the supervisor usually do not get desirable assignments.
3. There are no employee outings, no bonuses for the three major holidays—only gift boxes—and the year-end party venue is always the same (and the food is terrible).
4. The industry has no future and is merely struggling to survive. The company is also too slow and indecisive when formulating strategies, and cannot even make a decent app.
5. The company operates like a government agency, with too many slackers who fool around at work while waiting to go home. However, if you have connections, none of this matters.
The company's work environment looks great. During the interview, both the HR representative and the manager were quite friendly. The working hours are flexible (which is quite appealing to me), and the manager said verbally that there wouldn't be frequent overtime (although you won't know for sure until you actually join). They also provide birthday leave and gifts for the three major festivals, among other things... I don't remember all the benefits. I think they may also provide a fitness trainer or fitness classes or something similar—quite unusual.
Reference information: In addition to professional work-related questions, the interview also covers some industry knowledge. For the second interview, you also have to prepare a presentation.
The salary will only be known later, after receiving the offer.
As I recall, there doesn't seem to be an annual company trip (which is a bit unfortunate, but if they give me a little more money, I can arrange one myself).
Also, it is not possible to find out immediately after the second interview whether you have been accepted. The manager said that you have to wait for the HR representative to notify you later.
From the frontline to senior management, there are no ideas for the external market and no ideas for internal operations either. The company simply drifts from day to day, permeated by a sense of decline.
