Read the community guidelines1 The company is large and has a strong reputation.
2 Department colleagues work diligently and are willing to help one another.
3 You get exposure to all kinds of different things.
4 The company follows the Labor Standards Act and does not arbitrarily cut salaries.
1 There is a semi-mandatory treadmill requirement: you have to run for 40 minutes every day, and not doing so will affect your performance evaluation.
2 The company has no dedicated marketing staff, so designers also have to write copy and must accept having the wording frequently changed.
3 There are many miscellaneous tasks, and you need to be able to produce styles or types that senior management likes (personally, I feel they have a gambling-related style).
4 Turnover is somewhat high; every day you see someone coming in for an interview.
None
1. The first thing said in the interview: Why did you want to apply? You don't look like someone who would want to do this.
2. In the middle of the interview, someone came in and said they wanted to arrange for someone to be placed in some department. Although I couldn't understand it, that doesn't seem appropriate.
3. You have to pay to buy the uniform first and then attend classes.
Although it’s common to hear about company policies changing from one day to the next,
I still can’t help but complain a bit.
Certain people are department heads, yet they can’t make any decisions and simply let their superiors change policies on a whim,
causing their subordinates to do pointless work every day. They never coordinate with upper management at all,
and only pretend in the office to be on the same side as their subordinates while complaining,
but strangely, they also forbid anyone else from criticizing the way their superiors do things.
There are a lot of rumors and gossip, and certain managers especially love to sow discord and curry favor with those in power.
The most ridiculous thing is the brain-dead treadmill policy:
it requires employees above a certain rank to run for 40 minutes every day and forces them to spend an extra hour after work,
claiming that running is meant to let us rest,
but it is enforced without any respect for individual autonomy,
and refusing to comply results in a deduction from the performance bonus.
I guess what this means is that no matter how hard you work,
if you don’t run, your bonus just disappears like that!
Am I here to run or to work? ^^
Well, the pay is pretty good,
so if you’re willing to come here and let people trample on your professional expertise for the sake of the money, you can join too!

There is a lot of internal gossip and many small cliques involved in infighting.
The managers at headquarters only look at the surface as well.
If you are just treating it as a job, this place is not bad.
You can meet many people (because of the high turnover rate),
and the pay is also decent.
However, after actually working here, I decided to give it a negative review.
Many strange rules.
For example, managers are required to spend 40 minutes a day on the treadmill, and it is unpaid.
So although the official end of the workday is 6 p.m., you cannot leave until around 7 p.m. after finishing your run.
If you do not run for one day, you lose the year-end attendance bonus of NT$15,000.
The entire company is run by unprofessional leaders who claim to be professionals.
The manager says that although he cannot cook, he is very good at eating.
But when asked to explain himself, he cannot make any sense.
There is also severe infighting.
Gossip is spread everywhere.
The manager even monitors who you spend time with privately.
If you just want to focus on doing your work properly, I recommend skipping this company.
