The company owner is extremely stingy. Whatever the matter, they completely disregard employees and think only about money and the benefits their own hypocrisy brings them. For example, employees are expected to participate in major company image-building events, but they have to pay their own expenses. Even though employees pay out of pocket, they are not given leave for attending. At every all-company meeting, they say, “Participation is not mandatory,” but supervisors then say that it will be added to the year-end KPI—an indirect form of emotional blackmail. It is astonishing that a company with more than a hundred employees has six HR staff. Naturally, these HR employees unavoidably play the role of applauding the owner and telling them how wonderful they are. Then there is the company’s Family Day every Friday, which uses lunch breaks for employees to listen to Carnegie training stories. That’s right—it is hypocritical, much like a boot camp. New employees are required to participate during their probationary period, and they are told that this will affect their performance evaluation (what?!). After being indoctrinated with Carnegie’s teachings, employees are expected not to question any company policies. If they question the reasonableness of regulations, they are taken to a small room for intensive “concern,” and, like being formally disciplined at school for doing something wrong, they are made to write a “counseling form” and told not to bring it up again. A female deputy manager surnamed Huang would even privately use verbal emotional-abuse threats to tell you not to spread the matter. Yet the company constantly operates on the edge of labor laws. There have already been several violations involving employee bonuses, while it often boasts publicly that it has received the Ministry of Labor’s Workforce Development Award. The irony is extreme. Because the owner is so stingy, the benefits go without saying—the bonus is so disappointing it could make you cry. Please choose carefully!!
Most people are easy to get along with, and backstabbing generally does not occur.
Managers pay attention to their departments. It is a company that places great emphasis on culture. If you stay for a long time, it can start to feel somewhat fake. It may give you an opportunity to examine your relationship with your family and make changes as a result (depending on the individual).
There is a training quality system.
Time-wasting morning meetings that have to be held every day, along with morning exercises. You would think it was a school if you didn’t know better. It wastes work time.
You cannot use your phone at your desk. They deliberately do not mention this during the interview, and you only find out after joining. I have no idea what they are trying to prevent—is it really that confidential? Haha.
They really like managing strange little details. For example, there are days when you have to wear a uniform, and they even specify which styles of bottoms are not allowed with it. There are also many rules about what you can wear as casual clothing.
A company with underwhelming benefits: In the past, I received NT$600 in gift vouchers for the three major holidays, which was pitifully little. There is no afternoon tea, and around holidays they do not let you leave early or give you gift boxes. Absolutely nothing. New employees have to pay for their own meals (?). You have to buy your own stationery. When the company holds events, it does not seek outside resources either; employees have to spend their own time doing everything. Calling it “saving money” sounds nice, but they say it is for your learning. Haha. Overall, it makes you feel that the company is extremely stingy toward its employees. The salary is not particularly high, and getting a raise is difficult.
They really like organizing cultural activities and then including them in your performance evaluation.
If that is how it works, they should say so upfront. People who do not agree with it may end up with very low performance scores.
You have to fill out a lot of information during the interview, including writing an essay, which takes a long time. When you join, they ask for a large amount of personal information, including labor and health insurance details and a certificate of good conduct, for some inexplicable reason.
After holding certain activities, they always require meetings to share about them. They call it sharing so everyone can learn, but put bluntly, it is just a waste of time. Overall, it is an inefficient company.
Although the training has a quality system, apart from the culture courses, you cannot really see what other training is provided or what results it produces.
The performance review requires you to write about things unrelated to your work and then evaluate other people. The whole thing is incomprehensible and a waste of time.
Your supervisor ignores you
Your own department supervisor ignores you, but supervisors from other departments will come and boss you around. The salary is guaranteed to be the lowest in the industry. This is very suitable for people looking to coast into retirement. I only recommend that people around 40 who have already made enough money come here to collect a paycheck without doing much work. Young people who come to work here are guaranteed three things:
1. Doing work that does not match your salary
2. Being responsible for pressure that does not match your job title
3. It is a family business, so good opportunities will never go to you
Management will use sweet talk on you: “The more you do, the more opportunities you’ll have.” When you take it seriously, congratulations—you’re about to work yourself to death, and all you’ll get in return is, “Great job. Thanks for your hard work.”
Getting a raise is as difficult as getting a man pregnant.
Working here can help you cultivate your patience.
If you cannot change your mindset, you will work until you vomit blood.
If you really want to join, you should think it over carefully.
The above is a sharing of experience from someone who has been there.
None
During the interview, they had me take an intelligence test and sign over my personal information for them to use. The more I thought about it, the more it felt wrong. I didn’t even get hired by your company, so why should I give you my personal information?
None
The interviewer called directly and asked me to introduce myself and answer questions over the phone first. The interviewer spoke in a self-important tone, going on about their past achievements. After that call, I had absolutely no desire to go to the interview!
A loan brokerage company like this still wants to develop new technologies such as blockchain—what a pipe dream!!!
You can arrive at and leave work very punctually
A Virgo-like company—everything has to be extremely detailed, making it completely inefficient
