The QA department offers poor compensation, and the manager favors women over men. If a man makes a mistake, he basically has no chance of recovering from it. I’ve also heard of raises being only 500, which is absolutely laughable.
If you don’t work overtime, it means you’re not trying hard enough. During meetings, they inexplicably pick on people over minor issues, while the manager doesn’t similarly correct other people (women) for making the same mistakes. It’s outright double standards.

Ghosting applicants
Only saying they want to change the time one hour before the interview
None
Luckily, I didn't get in. The interviewer/supervisor was so arrogant, as if the company were something special. I heard from students who work there that overtime is the norm (regardless of what you do, you basically have to clock out late almost every day, period).
How good can a company be when it evaluates performance based on working hours?

If you are looking for a part-time job, absolutely do not apply for the administrative support part-time position at this company.
A part-time worker is expected to handle replacing all the light tubes in the company. The company has more than five floors in total; there may not be many on each floor, so let’s say 20 tubes.
That’s 100 tubes across five floors. You could spend all day replacing light tubes and still be overwhelmed.
In the past, you also had to help certain big shots buy boxed lunches at noon <<< A private servant, huh? I’m not sure whether this has changed since then, but I find it pretty ridiculous.
I was even once called to the boss’s home during working hours to move a wardrobe. Ridiculous.
Adding in things like replacing drinks and whatever else, you’re constantly running around. It’s more exhausting than working at 7-Eleven.
In the past, there was no 天眼通 where you could say how terrible this job was; now there is, so say it. Don’t let this kind of company exploit students anymore.
It depends on luck...
I won’t say much—just read this

1. Learn to be meticulous—examining everything under a microscope.
2. Learn upward management—speaking and acting cautiously while taking care of everyone’s feelings.
3. Learn to multitask extensively—taking on tasks from other teams and taking full responsibility for them.
1. The company is living in its past glory. Its performance is declining, yet it is unable or unwilling to innovate, and it lacks experienced people to provide direction.
2. Regarding vertical communication, senior management mainly focuses on how to deal with the leader’s micromanagement. All kinds of trivial matters require a lengthy approval process, causing frontline employees to spend considerable effort not only on operations but also on answering and attending to the various questions and concerns of senior management and the leader.
3. All teams are severely understaffed, while the number of tasks continues to increase. Senior management is incapable of managing staffing and schedules effectively (or takes employees’ contributions for granted). After committing to work items with the leader in important meetings, they then pressure lower-level managers and frontline employees to make time. Planned schedules are constantly interrupted by supposedly higher-priority tasks. Some of these tasks may involve constraints or difficulties, or even have obvious negative impacts, but because senior management has already committed to them with the leader (or because no one dares to object to the leader’s direct orders), there is no room for discussion; they can only be forced through. If the results are ineffective after launch, the decision-makers shift the blame to the implementers, who can only make superficial, stopgap fixes based on the existing decisions.
4. Emotional senior management.
The agreed-upon interview time can be changed once, twice—every time, the reason is that the supervisor suddenly has a meeting and can't conduct the interview~
Low pay, long working hours, and overtime pay cannot be claimed for overtime work.
If you are good at self-directed learning, it is a fairly decent learning environment.
Some managers like to take on a huge pile of work and then force their subordinates to work overtime to finish it by the deadline. In my opinion, this management style is no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. When business is good, you can get away with doing this; at least everyone who is pressured into it still gets a year-end bonus. But when business is bad and you still pull this kind of stunt?! Why would capable people obediently let you pressure them? Of course they will run for the hills. Those who remain are often the hardworking, obedient types who managed to get promoted, or ordinary people of average ability who cannot get into better companies.
Later, the company paid the price when recruiting, heh heh. Skilled people were unwilling to join, while the weaker hires were not very productive. It really was reaping what it had sown.
For a marketing position at a local Taiwanese company, the salary is considered quite good. The difference between graduating from a university and graduating from graduate school is reflected in the salary and job title.
1. The company is internally rigid and outdated, with little change, and cannot keep up with the pace of changes in information technology. At present, the prospects do not look good.
2. There is a strong culture of working overtime. Inefficient practices result in a great deal of time being wasted on repetitive tasks that could be replaced by robots. During peak season, leaving close to midnight is a given; even during the off-season, the average departure time is around eight or nine.
3. There are colleagues who bully newcomers and have poor emotional management, but the supervisors turn a blind eye. New hires keep leaving. As long as you can endure it, becoming a team lead within two years is no problem, because no one can stick it out. Haha.
4. Many people in the company are NTU alumni, and there are many smart people. If you are the type who succeeds through hard work, you will have a very difficult time here.
There is no overtime pay, and the required working hours are basically 10 and a half hours. However, if you do not work even longer hours to demonstrate your servility, you will be called in for a meeting. Supervisors love flattering upper management, and in the end, a pile of unfinished work is handed down with subordinates expected to work overtime to complete it.
There is no overtime pay, and the marketing department works overtime almost every day. There is also a strange unspoken rule that only RD and QA employees can claim meal allowances for working late. The salary is not considered low, but if calculated by the hour, it is extremely depressing.
That said, honestly speaking, for marketing, you can learn quite a lot, from front-end planning all the way to data analysis. Successfully achieving results can be very rewarding. Bearing the responsibility for revenue is both a source of pressure and a sense of accomplishment.
There is no overtime pay, and if you work too few overtime hours, your supervisor will even call you in for a review.
