As someone who spent many years working at Guanglai, I noticed that this platform is rarely updated. Although I left the company a long time ago, I’m here to provide an update on its current situation. I’ll discuss both the pros and cons, all based on my personal experiences, observations, things I’ve heard, and personal feelings. Don’t let the person below with all the “aka” references accuse me of being biased. For everyone who thinks of Guanglai, I hope this helps you reflect on your own youth and future!
1. The lunch provided is nutritious. If you aren’t particularly picky about food, you can basically eat happily and won’t go hungry. The meals are plentiful. As for why, you can fill in the blanks yourselves—it shouldn’t be difficult.
2. Other posts have said that the company lacks systems and efficiency. I don’t entirely agree. The company is indeed improving, but not every change is necessarily an improvement. As for efficiency, that depends on your interpersonal relationships within the company.
3. The colleagues at the company are generally very nice. As long as you aren’t a strange person, everyone will welcome you. They’re willing to share their experiences and ways of doing things, and you can make many good friends.
I can’t think of any more advantages. I’ll add more in the comments if I think of any......
Let me start by saying that I’m only highlighting the key points, because there are honestly too many.....
1. The NT$2,000 perfect-attendance bonus is real, but NT$500 is deducted for just half a day off, and it’s gone after two days of leave. The important point is that this is counted as part of your regular salary, so when negotiating your salary—or when you’re called and told you can report for work—make sure to ask clearly about it. Don’t let the boss’s wife gloss over it. That said, you don’t really have room to negotiate your salary anyway~
2. The Monday and Wednesday morning meetings used to include chanting the Guanglai spirit slogan. Fortunately, they stopped doing it later; otherwise, chanting it really would have felt hypocritical.
3. Everything requires asking the boss and the boss’s wife. For technical matters, ask the people inside; for anything involving money, ask the outside business manager—aka the boss’s wife, aka A-Mei, aka May. Basically, everything depends on whether the two of them like you. It’s a textbook double standard. Once they blacklist you, there’s no coming back—that’s when you should resign.
4. The company posts announcements when something affects its own interests. Anything involving the company’s rights will definitely be announced at morning meetings and on the bulletin board. But when employees’ rights are affected, they turn a blind eye; they’ll only tell you if you ask. So if you plan to join Guanglai, you need to understand your own rights and not let them deceive you for months, or all that hard-earned overtime pay will be gone.
5. I’ve heard that the staff in the office’s sales department are in constant turmoil every day because of the air-conditioning issue, with many people looking miserable. The indoor temperature has to reach 28°C before the air conditioning can be turned on, and it can only be set as low as 27°C. Many people bring their own fans, but you still have to apply to the company to bring one in, and can only do so after receiving approval. The reason is that electricity usage is related to information security, so the boss’s wife has to approve it. I’ve heard that the boss’s wife’s position is the coolest in the whole company. It’s hilarious.
6. The company has a consultant—an old consultant—who often applies experiences from a company he worked at several decades ago to this one. These ideas are basically outdated. For all the women out there, please think carefully, because this consultant objectifies women, and many people can’t stand that kind of attitude.
7. The overtime culture is very strong—to the point that leaving the company before 5:30 p.m. makes you feel as if you’ve done something wrong. If you don’t work overtime, people assume you aren’t serious enough, and if you resign, they say it’s because you didn’t put enough effort into your work.
8. The company has some so-called “nominal” bonuses. Basically, they’re visible but unattainable, and you’re toyed with like a monkey chasing a banana. Even when they are paid, the amount is insulting enough to make you wish they hadn’t bothered.
9. Guanglai no longer compares itself based on turnover, because although there are many interviews, basically nobody actually starts working there. Even if someone does join, they quickly experience the full reality of the company and usually leave after about a month.
10. Basically, if you take out your phone during working hours, there will be trouble. If a family member urgently needs to reach you, they’ll tell you to call the company phone number, and the sales staff will transfer the call for you. Truly very considerate—mwah.
11. The company has a Guanglai R&D Business Division that it is very proud of, with two managers. When projects fall behind, there are especially many excuses. Since the boss doesn’t understand the work, they lead him around by the nose. How tragic.
12. As for the year-end bonus, you can count yourself lucky if you get half a month’s salary.
13. The person above with all the “aka” references loves to meddle in everything. Whether they understand it or not, they have to get involved to feel comfortable. The key point is that they basically understand nothing except money, so many colleagues often end up with terrible headaches because of them.
14. It’s very common to see office colleagues eating breakfast outside first thing in the morning. If you don’t ask, nothing happens; but if you do, you find out that many of the people associated with “aka” say it will affect the office atmosphere, so office staff aren’t allowed to eat or drink, and may not even be allowed to use their phones.
15. The company randomly inspects people’s computers, including Skype chat records. In other words, during working hours you’re only allowed to do official business.
Please see the cons.
At first, I saw this job posting on 104 and decided to submit my résumé.
I remember receiving an interview invitation just a few days later. The location was in Fengyuan District, Taichung City.
The company is located along a rural road. If you are driving there, I would not recommend it, because the road is narrow and passing other vehicles is difficult.
After arriving at the company, HR first asked me to fill out some basic information on the first floor. After I finished, I went upstairs to the second floor for the interview.
At first, HR asked me to give a brief self-introduction. Later, a supervisor came over to interview me. (The conversation was pleasant throughout. We also discussed the company’s background and future vision. At the time, I genuinely felt that the company was sincerely interested in understanding job seekers.) The first day ended on a fairly pleasant note.
After the first interview ended, I received a call from Kuang-Lai at around 4 p.m. inviting me to a second interview the next day.
I wondered why it was happening so quickly and why they seemed so urgent.??? Based on my previous job-search and interview experience, positions that schedule a second interview for the very next day are usually either urgently hiring or I am a very good match for their requirements. I had no idea, but I still chose to attend the next day!
When I arrived at Kuang-Lai Instruments on the second day, I went upstairs to the second floor as before. A supervisor who looked like a manager came over to interview me. We simply asked and answered questions back and forth—the usual questions companies ask.
But we never discussed the salary or benefits. We never discussed the salary or benefits; we never discussed the salary or benefits. (This point is really important, so I’m saying it three times. During the first interview the previous day, neither HR nor the supervisor discussed salary or benefits either. But since it was only the first interview, I knew that some companies do not discuss these matters in the first round because they are still screening candidates. However, this was already the second interview, and we still did not discuss salary or benefits. I began to wonder what exactly they were hiding.??? Later, I asked directly: “What are the salary and benefits like?” The manager immediately said that HR would have to come over to explain this. At that point, I found it strange—extremely strange. I had never encountered a company like this before. Between yesterday and today, three supervisors had already taken turns interviewing me. Why did they keep asking me the same questions and talking about the company’s future development and vision? Was this just making grand promises? I didn’t know. But I believe every job seeker wants to know about the salary and benefits. What exactly were they being so vague about?
Sure enough, the last person to interview me was a woman. She was not the same HR representative from the previous day, so by this point, a total of four people had taken turns interviewing me. She started by asking me the same questions as well—the ones the previous three people had asked. I kept answering the same things over and over for four different people. By this point, I no longer wanted the job. I had never encountered an interview process like this; there was no interview procedure at all. If all four people were going to ask the same questions, why take turns doing it??? Normally, the first interview has one set of questions, and the second round has other questions to answer. The four interviewers at your company merely took turns asking the job seeker the same questions—what was the point??? And sure enough, the fourth person also did not tell me anything about the salary or benefits!
I couldn’t take it anymore, so I said directly: “Actually, two supervisors and one HR representative have already asked me these questions yesterday and today. Right now, I just want to know how much this job pays and what benefits your company offers.” She could see that I was becoming impatient and said: “We have to wait until the final evaluation before calling you. If we decide to hire you, then we will tell you how much the salary is.”
When I got home that day, I was completely dumbfounded. I was genuinely furious. It felt as if I had been deceived and played. Are there still interviews where the employer does not tell job seekers the salary? And this was after attending interviews for two days and being interviewed by four people in succession.
On the third day, they called to inform me that I had been hired and immediately asked whether I could start next Monday. When I heard that, I almost swore over the phone. I had written in my application that my earliest available start date was two weeks later and my latest was within a month, yet you called me and directly asked me to start next Monday.???
I immediately replied over the phone: “You still haven’t told me how much the salary is, and you’re directly asking me to start next Monday?” Only then did she finally blurt it out……
For those of you looking for jobs online, thank you for patiently reading this far. You can really look up Kuang-Lai Instruments on the reviews on the Tienyan job-search website and see what other people have said, because I felt that something was very wrong from the moment I interviewed with them……
The job posting I applied for on 104 listed the salary as 39,000. When they called to tell me I had been hired that day, they said they could only offer 38,000 (including a 2,000 perfect-attendance bonus), meaning the actual salary was 36,000. I asked, “But doesn’t the 104 posting say 39,000?” She said that an additional 1,000 could be added only after passing an evaluation…… In the end, I decisively turned down the offer.
Based on my past workplace experience, companies that are so vague from the interview stage and act as though you have to do whatever they say (I was only there for an interview and was not even an official employee yet) are very difficult to work for. Even if I had joined, I imagine it would have been hard to get things done.
One word of sincere advice: When your company interviews job seekers, don’t forget that the job seekers are interviewing you too~!
If everyone treated one another mutually, the world would be a much better place. I also wish those of you currently looking for work success in finding a job you truly like!
The colleagues are all fairly young, easy to get along with, and very willing to communicate and exchange ideas.
There’s free coffee.
Upper management is seriously problematic. They keep shouting about progress all day, but there’s no action to show for it.
The company has no systems, no efficiency, and no communication.
It lacks almost all the basic conditions a company should have to operate.
The blame is always pushed onto people who weren’t involved.
Watching colleagues go out to make a living while still having to carry a whole pile of scapegoating.
They don’t even have money to buy food—why dump so many pots on them?
You might as well give them a fish to eat.
The people sitting in the office aren’t sales staff, but assistants to the person in the innermost office.
Everything has to go through that person, and no one has any decision-making authority.
The answer to the same question even changes depending on who asks. What a hypocritical double standard.
They don’t respect employees or care about how employees feel at work, and make inexplicable decisions on their own.
When you raise a question, that person inside looks at you with an attitude of, “Do you really understand?”
They also say nonconstructive things and keep going around in circles by themselves.
After finally discovering that the answer really is what we said, they still come back with a smug “I told you so.”
Please—why not just lick my asshole? You don’t have to pretend to understand when you don’t.
I genuinely think the customers who buy this company’s machines are pitiful; they all look like suckers.
Either they want you to pay more to buy things you should have had in the first place,
or, when there’s a problem, they treat you like an idiot and brush it off. Problems with the machines are always glossed over.
When a boss even says, “Being busy is a good thing,” it shows how ugly the overtime culture here is.
They hope people will work overtime all day long. It’s not as if you can just leave after finishing your work—what, are you supposed to sit there cultivating immortality?
The division of labor is unclear, and even when things are busy, you’re not the one who is actually busy.
They just want to use one person as three, then pay you a single banana.
Please, who would want to waste time with you when you treat people like monkeys?
They made over 100 million, yet the year-end bonus we received wasn’t even equivalent to one month’s salary.
I really don’t understand how the company has made it nearly 30 years while treating people like idiots.
Oh right, their daughter also doesn’t respect working people and even comes into the office making a loud racket.
But after taking a look, it wasn’t exactly surprising either, haha.
There aren't many long-timers here, because the turnover rate is truly through the roof.....
The predecessors downstairs have already fully expressed what this company is like.
They can't come up with any new tricks either.
If I had to describe it, this company treats employees like disposable chopsticks.
This company's turnover rate could be described as toothpicks, I suppose.
Use them up and throw them away~
It's really hard to see any company posting a job on 104 for 365 days...
Really terrible, honestly.
There isn't even basic training for new employees.
What the previous employees left in their reviews is true. Think carefully before deciding to join the company; there are other good companies out there. That's all.
For the rest, see what others have left previously.
To be honest, I’m here to leave a negative review. Seeing that someone recently posted one, I thought I’d add to the pile.
I’m writing this from ten years in the future. I’m looking at this company from the perspective of someone who has been here for more than ten years.
You have to clock in and start work on time, there’s only one afternoon tea break per week, you have to wear a uniform at work, and you can’t wear slippers.
The benefits are genuinely far worse than those at listed or publicly traded tech companies, foreign companies, and holding companies. You can’t skip coming into the office; there’s no gym, massage chairs, or self-service snack bar—only a coffee machine and a refrigerator. You can’t ride a bicycle inside the company and have to walk, which makes your feet extremely sore. The factory only has air conditioning and no Industry 4.0 automated production equipment. For a company that will become a continuously growing company ten years from now, failing to introduce automated production promptly over those ten years is truly disappointing.
To be honest, it’s because I recently saw positive reviews being posted, so I personally wanted to come and post a negative review.
Because my personal experience was about 10 years ago, and today, 10 years later, it feels like aside from having a new factory, this company’s treatment of its employees is still the same as before. Since I was fired in less than a month, I don’t know what the advantages are.
When I went for the interview, they told me the base salary was 28,000, but they didn’t tell me that this included an additional 2,000 for perfect attendance. I was inexperienced and was tricked into joining.
To be honest, it feels like even today, 10 years later, not much has changed. The employee turnover rate is still very high. Before I was fired, a coworker who joined at the same time as me was fired a week earlier. I asked a senior colleague, puzzled, why that coworker looked so upset. The senior colleague told me not to say anything more. Who would have known that the following week, I would be next?
Being fired for the first time was truly devastating. I really questioned whether I was actually that bad. Later, I spent nearly a year proving myself and was hired by a state-owned company. Of course, I also spent 10 years proving myself and eventually became a supervisor.
I also want to encourage friends who have been harmed by this company: whatever you do, don’t let a company like this affect you. Find a path that suits you as soon as possible.
The interview was quite similar to those at typical companies, with a strong emphasis on willingness to learn.
There are several offices, so you need to ask to find out which entrance to use.

How to improve your chances of success in an interview

The people who conducted the interview were quite friendly.
The owner's and his wife's attitudes were terrible, especially when they scribbled all over my résumé with a pen. It was extremely disrespectful toward the interviewee's experience.
I once took a national examination, and the owner's wife said dismissively, "Oh, so you just memorize the laws!" She must have forgotten that, for some national examinations, some people aren't even academically qualified to apply in the first place.^_^
When the owner learned that my family is engaged in manufacturing, his attitude changed drastically. He kept criticizing my family's industry and business model, constantly emphasizing how international-minded he was and how unusual his experience was. He even said to me, "Working outside isn't like staying at home and being pampered."
I could only laugh and say, "I definitely haven't been pampered." If I really had been pampered, why would I come interview at your company? ^_^
I was dumbfounded by this couple's absurd values and just wanted to leave the company as quickly as possible.
All I can say is, working under an employer who doesn't understand what it means to respect people makes me wonder what there is to learn.
This company actually has a fairly good reputation in the instrumentation industry, with positive reviews regarding technical development and quality standards. Perhaps the company’s overall quality requirements have upset some people, which is why such comments have been made. Everyone can pursue a job according to their own preferences; those seeking an easy job with high pay are indeed not suited to this company.
Those seeking an easy job with high pay may not be suited to this company.
Applied for a software programming position; the written test was extremely easy...
And no one even looked at the answers to the written test...
A place that tricks people into coming for interviews....
Three interviews in a row...the team leader, general manager, and HR....
The team leader's inner thoughts seemed to be: Hurry up and bring in some new people to exploit
The general manager kept talking about an ideal future...a lot of empty talk...
HR....I don't know what they wanted to ask....They asked a bunch of questions that had already been asked before....
In the end, they said they would notify me within a week....Then there was no notification at all...They don't even have integrity in this small matter. Don't be tricked into going to an interview again.
The position applied for was an international trade staff member. The company environment was neat, clean, and quiet, and the receptionist was nice. I had a fairly pleasant conversation with the first interviewer, who was wearing a uniform. As several people mentioned before, they really built you up and made you feel highly valued. Since I was applying for an international trade position, the interviewer first asked me to introduce myself in English. The interview then continued in English, focusing on my self-introduction and the English in my résumé and autobiography, until the interviewer could no longer continue in English. Then the interview switched to Chinese to discuss the company benefits and give me an opportunity to ask questions. If hired, people from out of town receive a housing allowance.
The company’s directional signs are unclear. I didn’t know where to park, and the entrance is inside, so if you have never been there, you have no idea where to enter the company. The atmosphere felt very serious. I brought my own résumé, but still had to fill out their standard application form after arriving. They gave me the form to fill out but did not provide a pen; when my pen ran out of ink halfway through, I had to borrow one from an employee inside. The form included questions such as whether female applicants were pregnant and whether they were willing to work overtime. The second interviewer’s attitude and facial expression were extremely unpleasant; she appeared to be the owner’s wife. 104 had separate listings for international trade staff and sales staff, but only after I asked did they say that the two positions were actually the same. They said that, as a recent graduate without experience, I could only work as a sales assistant. They said they would notify me of the interview result, probationary period, and salary within seven days (July 11), but I still had not received any notification by July 18. When I asked whether the salary complied with the Labor Standards Act and included labor and health insurance, the first interviewer said it was “basically” compliant. The second interviewer asked some strange questions, such as what my family members did for a living—and asked in considerable detail. Since I was from out of town, I was also asked which road my rented accommodation was on and which route I had ridden from to attend the interview. It felt strange.
A total of three interviewers took turns interviewing me. They really flattered you during the interview, which felt pretty good at the time. They also chatted with you, so the interview atmosphere was friendly and not serious at all. You first fill out your résumé on the first floor and then go upstairs to the second floor for the interview. During the interview, the manager mentioned that employee dormitories would be available in October, costing approximately NT$2,000 per person. That’s a pretty good perk.
I applied for a position advertised at around NT$32,000. During the probationary period, I was told that the salary would start at NT$28,000 and be adjusted based on performance afterward. However, it was unclear whether it would actually be raised to NT$32,000. So what does listing the base salary as NT$32,000 mean? It leaves people with a sense of uncertainty.
During the interview, they said I would have 20 minutes to write my résumé and complete the test, and earlier they had also said it was okay if I did not finish the test. However, before the 20 minutes were up, I was asked to go to the interview, where the focus was placed on the unfinished test, followed by a series of interrogations (belittling remarks).
However, from another perspective, they did not have to tell me about these issues. I do need to improve academically; they could have chosen not to point these issues out to me, but they did. So, looking at it from another angle, I consider this a strength.
ㄏ
Big question mark
I happen to be preparing to change jobs recently
HR sent an interview invitation through a job bank
But there wasn't even a self-introduction during the interview...
It ended in less than 20 minutes
Unknown
I did not actually work there for long, so I will not say much. However, during the interview, the boss forced employees to respond in Taiwanese (the position applied for was an overseas sales role, not a driver or production worker). In this respect alone, the boss does not seem to be particularly respectful of employees. I have no objection to speaking Taiwanese myself, and I do not favor any particular political party, nor have I ever voted for the Kuomintang. However, I believe that speaking Mandarin with employees who are not familiar with Southern Min is the minimum level of respect (unless the job requires good Taiwanese skills in order to adapt; clearly, requiring excellent Taiwanese for an overseas sales position is far-fetched). This would be different if the person genuinely had difficulty using Mandarin, but it was obvious that this boss had no problem communicating in Mandarin. The questions asked during the interview were also very superficial and completely lacking in logic; everything was based entirely on subjective judgments. It is hard to imagine that this could be a very good company. I have also never heard any positive comments from other employees who worked there.
Lunch is provided.
Overall, the company is pretty much as the commenter below described (basically, the employees are all deeply disgruntled). I’ll just add some information that wasn’t mentioned below.
New employees don’t get paid if they haven’t worked for at least three days, so if you want to resign early, be careful about the number of days worked. (That’s the only way to get paid.)
When resigning, remember to first request the labor and health insurance transfer-out certificate; otherwise, the HR staff member won’t mail it to you, and you’ll have to pick it up in person. (You may need it for your next job.)
There are approximately 8–10 people in the office area, but I only saw about 3 or 4 people wearing uniforms (formal employees). (For a company that has been around for more than 20 years, there are a lot of newcomers.)
Using mobile phones at work is strictly prohibited (they must be turned off or completely muted). You may only answer very urgent calls, but then you can’t hear the phone ringing anyway~ If your family needs to reach you, have them call the company’s landline.
You are also not allowed to eat at your desk or keep drinks there. There are many cameras in the office (pointed at the employees).
Official working hours are 08:00–17:00, but you have to arrive at the company by 07:50 to clean for the company for free (the company assigns sweeping duties to everyone; there is no cleaning lady~).
The company provides an employee trip once every two years. If you want to travel abroad with the group, you have to use annual leave; if you don’t join the overseas trip, you won’t be paid for that period (they say that since the office is closed, you can’t work either).
The company provides afternoon tea on Wednesdays, with a subsidy of NT$30 per person (ridiculous). If you order something more expensive, you have to go to the HR office and pay the difference yourself.
Here, you have to do everything. Basically, it’s very busy every day, “but there isn’t a single decent benefit!!!!” I advise those who just want to go in and see what it’s like, or those with better abilities, to think twice—and then think twice again—before accepting this job. (Don’t be like me and regret not checking the comments here before starting work. Avoid it if you can, and look for something better if you can find it.)
I heard that the long-serving employees at this company originally only had junior-high or high-school diplomas. Later, some consultant thought that didn’t look good, so now this company only has bachelor’s and master’s degree holders.
The people are easy to get along with.
I hadn't been at the company for long when I saw dozens of employees come and go. Several long-serving employees who had practically developed alongside the company were also forced out, using some very clumsy tactics: some were suspected of stealing company products, while others had worked like draft animals for the company but were still not valued.
“Work hard and the company won't treat you unfairly.” The person who said that at the time has since left the company as well. It's not that the company isn't making money, but the benefits keep getting worse. The once-quarterly company dinners are gone, as are the bonuses for the three major holidays. Few people can even smile when receiving their year-end bonus. The company expects you to work hard for them, yet is unwilling to offer any incentives.
The colleagues are easy to get along with
Even if Zang Xue doesn’t come in with Chen Fox, there’s still hope....
When I first joined, I was put on a pedestal and constantly praised by my supervisor. I felt very confident, as if I really were that capable.
Only later did I find out that the previous Japanese-speaking salesperson had just resigned.
The company happened to be preparing to exhibit in Japan.
Once the Japanese exhibition was over, the boss’s attitude toward me became increasingly poor. She could find fault with me in every email. In meetings, there were all kinds of sarcastic remarks.
Not long afterward, a middle-aged female Japanese-speaking salesperson joined. She had nearly 20 years more work experience than I did.
I knew then that I probably wouldn’t be able to stay either.
At first, they made it sound very nice, asking me to learn from that senior colleague. Later, however, the boss asked me to hand over the Japanese clients I was handling for all kinds of reasons.
I was left with some mainland Chinese clients, and there was less and less work to do, but I still gritted my teeth and held on until after the year-end before resigning.
You could also say I was “asked to resign.” My personality is more Japanese-style; I’d like to work until retirement unless the situation becomes too outrageous.
This company is exactly the kind I can’t accept.
I’m a simple person. I didn’t specifically look into things like labor laws or tax evasion—I just did my own job.
Before interviewing at Guanglai, or after receiving an offer, many people may search online for Guanglai’s reputation. You’ll see extremely biased reviews on knowledge-sharing sites, or you may come across this article.
You might think, “It’s just a group of former employees complaining.”
“Every company has employees who are dissatisfied with it.”
Thinking this way, you decide to give Guanglai a try anyway.
That’s right—your future is yours to decide.
In the end, you’ll find that you can only become one of the following two types of people:
1. Like me, go online and share with everyone how terrible Guanglai is.
2. Silently curse the company in your heart, then look for your next job.
Actually, what you can learn at Guanglai is a very important lesson about life.
You can experience early on what it feels like to be smeared and stabbed in the back, and see exactly how useless a sales manager can be.
For example, the most classic incident was when this sales manager—the boss’s wife—said to me before I went on a business trip to Japan:
“You’re going to visit XXX?” (A certain client in Tokyo.)
“Then go visit OOO while you’re there too. After all, aren’t trains in Japan very convenient?” (A certain client in Osaka.)
Tokyo to Osaka, and trains are “very convenient”?! WTF!?
I almost laughed so hard that I farted and shit myself.
That’s the kind of environment I worked in.
Now let’s talk about what happened to me—the incident that finally triggered my decision to resign.
However, I’m currently taking a short break between client visits, so please understand that I’ll stop here for now.
If anyone is interested, I’ll write Part 2 after work.
As soon as I joined, I was interviewed by the boss’s wife. I felt that she had a lot of ambition and ideals, and it seemed like there were plenty of bonuses.
1. It was only after receiving my salary a month later that I found out it was paid in a salary envelope rather than deposited into my bank account, which raised suspicions of tax evasion.
2. The turnover rate was far too high. I personally saw someone get fired after just one month, and I also saw someone get fired right before the Lunar New Year.
3. Some of the company’s long-serving employees couldn’t stand the boss and his wife’s headstrong, unilateral decisions, so they all left. At the company, two or three years of service already counted as being an extremely senior veteran.
4. I left in anger several years ago. According to former colleagues I’m still in contact with, the company’s situation is still the same. After all, its reputation can be found simply by searching Yahoo Knowledge+
For no apparent reason
A company that evades taxes
The base salary is transferred to your bank account
The remaining allowances are paid in cash
They won’t set up a bank account during the probationary period
They don’t even provide uniforms; the turnover rate is very high
