There isn't much hierarchy between supervisors and employees; everyone is quite friendly. The training is also good, and the benefits are great.

The work is very demanding, and there isn't much time off.

Used a video interview, but the interviewing supervisor's own internet connection had problems and they blamed others for it.

The headphone department supervisor was weird and acted superior, putting on airs, but was actually an incompetent person (the one in Hsinchu).

The training under the department is okay.

When joining this company, you must choose the department and choose the right manager.

A certain storage product line in PC—don't waste your time interviewing for it.

The people at the top only fight among themselves, many people below have already left, and the salary is always lower than in other departments, yet they expect you to be very capable.

Don't be fooled by grand promises about spinning off a subsidiary to lure you in!!!!!!

Pros

None

Cons

1. The restaurant is terrible. At mealtimes, a bunch of people scramble for food in the cafeteria, looking just like refugees. The food is awful, and they only subsidize NT$30 per meal—extremely stingy.

2. Completely arbitrary management. Salary adjustments and the amount of bonuses depend entirely on whether the boss likes you.

3. Even getting an ISO document requires submitting applications through layer upon layer of approval. My electronic forms were rejected several times—is it a form or a damn hassle?

4. The PC assistants have an incredibly superior attitude and are extremely annoying.

5. There are a bunch of entrenched old-timers. It’s completely a “the more you do, the more mistakes you make; do nothing and make no mistakes” mentality. No one will properly guide new employees. You have to ask about everything yourself, then endure cold and sarcastic remarks, and you may not even get an answer.

6. Work efficiency is poor because everyone likes to arrive late and work until very late at night to show the boss how hardworking they are. Leave too early and people sarcastically say you’re living an easy life. It makes no sense.

The company’s exterior is impressive, and the salary and benefits are decent.

I can’t think of anything for now.

Every day, there is employee food so disgusting it tastes like spray.

No matter where your next job is, I guarantee you'll think the new employee meals are 10,000 times better!

Would an ethical company serve its own employees “spray” every day? I'd like to ask RTK's management department and bosses: has your conscience been eaten by dogs?

For those interviewing with the Networking (CN) department, whether new or returning: within Networking there are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, automotive electronics, NIC, NAS, and DHC. Be sure to first clarify whether you will be working on “automotive electronics” in the future. If so, even aside from the automotive division not making money, the workload is also insanely intense—do not join! The managers are extremely difficult, nitpicky, and hard to deal with. The division director has poor character and is the target of boycotts by managers from other departments! Given the division director’s character, will managers from other departments wholeheartedly provide manpower to help with automotive projects? (Of course not. They just find someone to do odd jobs or a rookie to serve as a figurehead, putting on an act and fobbing it off.)

1. More flexible working hours

2. The profitable BUs offer fairly good compensation for the industry; the unprofitable BUs are worse than first-tier system manufacturers when working hours are taken into account.

1. Work is extremely freewheeling—in other words, there are no systems in place and responsibilities and authority are unclear.

2. Other than competing for orders with low prices, there are no other strategies. In low-gross-margin markets (TV SoCs), there are even IC projects with gross margins below 15%; they cannot possibly be profitable once personnel costs are included.

3. Benefits and conditions in general have declined severely: restaurant prices have increased, flexible leave has been reduced, and on the personnel side, unprofitable BUs do not replace employees when positions become vacant and are instead heavily increasing the use of contract workers.

4. Overall, profitable BUs such as WiFi and RDC are worth considering; absolutely do not join unprofitable BUs. If you are only there to gain experience, plan your career in advance, and do not be lured in by the grand promises made by managers. At present, one business group in WiFi and the TV division are both alternating between good and bad periods. Be sure to ask clearly before joining!!

A resounding name with a good reputation

Randomly slashing fake

The slogan about confidently trusting people seems especially ironic

It is recommended to change it to “self-mocking while mocking others”

Convenient parking

Employee benefits are getting worse and worse. The company even withdrew this year's annual leave immediately after announcing it on the intranet in March, leaving employees who joined near the end of the year with no leave available before their employment anniversary this year! It then tried to placate employees by offering advance annual leave!

Moreover, this is not the first time the Administration Department has used surprise tactics against employees. The company's operations are improving, but the benefits provided to employees are getting worse and worse!

Among leading IC manufacturers, only MnNP is unquestionably like this. Since you are so concerned about employees spending this small amount of money, why not remove the “Confidently Trust Others” plaque?

A friendly reminder:

Please ask HR to revise the benefits listed on 104.

You can remove this benefit from 104:

02. Two-day weekends, flexible working hours, an emphasis on self-management, and annual leave benefits starting in the first year.

SD in the Wireless Networking division

The annual salary is quite good, and the department atmosphere is great.

The work covers a wide range of areas, providing exposure to a lot of new information.

Often have to act as the PM, responsible for tracking other departments’ progress, but without the authority to help prioritize their work.

Often treated as customer service by other departments—even though we are all R&D staff, I’m expected to act as the customer contact.

Overall, it’s quite a good company.

Staying for too long can make you a bit complacent.

Interviewing unit: Computer Peripherals Business Division PC Camera

During the interview, it felt like they were constantly trying to extract R&D information from your current company, rather than assessing your abilities.

Aside from the restaurant being terribly unappetizing, it’s basically a first-tier IC company with no major drawbacks.

Wireless networking is the most profitable—Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. It seems to be wired Ethernet, while other computer peripherals such as sound cards, monitors, and TVs are not very clear. It’s very much up to you; I suggest going out for a walk in the evening and coming back a little later.
