Read the community guidelinesThe office is in Taipei 101. The engineers’ technical skills are pretty good. If you know how to flatter people, you might be parachuted into a senior position.
After becoming a senior executive, you might be able to hire a livestream host whom colleagues said was not suitable and who failed the interview, according to your personal preference.
The company used to be called Shenghuo Digital, then changed its name to With You, and is now called Kobinghan Digital Financial Technology Co., Ltd.
The boss is very self-centered. The company originally made dating apps, but then, overnight, told everyone to switch to blockchain; those unwilling to do so were told to leave.
The company’s accounts are very strange. I’ve heard that the boss has been taking money from the company, but cannot explain what it was used for.
Recently, the boss even brought personal furniture to sell to the company.
It is fairly common for employees on business trips to bring their girlfriends or husbands along.
Even the CTO can take his girlfriend along on business trips for fun. I don’t know whether her food, entertainment, and airfare are reimbursed by the company, haha.
The engineering team works overtime all day. If there is a bug in the middle of the night, everyone is called up to fix it until it is resolved.
The BD team actually seems to enjoy doing livestreams. Huh?
Several senior executives have their own private group channels that people below them cannot participate in.
The boss previously dated the company’s HR employee. Things ended unpleasantly, and I heard it was quite ugly, involving allegedly unauthorized credit-card charges.
The company even urgently made the woman resign. Any women thinking of joining should be careful.
The office environment is nice, with flexible working hours (but it’s a responsibility-based system, so if they call you at midnight to fix a bug, you still have to get up...)
The company used to be called Shenghuo Digital, then became With You, and is now called Corbin Digital Financial Technology Co., Ltd.
Changing names repeatedly within such a short period, with even the business registration numbers being different, makes it seem a bit strange—especially since the company is now in financial technology, and it’s unclear whether anything illegal is involved...
There is no overtime pay, only overtime bonuses. It is unclear how these are calculated, and there are no standards.
(The interviewing manager said that the working hours are extremely long, so you should prepare yourself mentally.)
At first glance, it seems like a lively startup, but there is actually a lot of infighting.
There is a culture of flattering the boss. The boss only cares about hearing what he wants to hear and just tells employees to work themselves to the bone; if things don’t suit him, he curses at them.
Good interaction among colleagues, harmonious atmosphere, and the company has a good view.
The company’s overall problem is that the boss has no credibility—he breaks promises and keeps changing his mind.
It is also rare for three-quarters of the entire team to leave in a single day.
The boss is distracted and seems to be running things on the surface, but is really looking around outside for projects that offer better opportunities to make money.
Today he says that meeting the target will earn a bonus; tomorrow it is reduced to zero. If you fail to meet the target, your salary will even be deducted.
The boss makes grandiose claims to investors, and when he cannot deliver, he blames the engineers.
The contract signed when joining the company is treated like wastepaper. A contract is a contract—if it is changed every few days, can you still call it a contract? Just do whatever you want with it.
The boss is overly ambitious and is now involved in a fraudulent ICO.
Is the boss going to pay salaries in virtual currency?
The boss should stick to his old profession as an engineer. You are not cut out to run a company; your own household is not even in order, yet you want to bring peace to the world.
Excluding the company’s uncertain prospects, this company is really good for engineers. There are also stock options and many employee benefits. I highly recommend that technically strong engineers come and exchange ideas with the boss.
The turnover rate is a bit high
1. Good collaboration and interaction among colleagues, with a shared goal of moving forward together.
2. The company is well-funded and provides employees with many opportunities to showcase their abilities.
3. The product belongs to an industry with an upward growth trend, with a focus on the European and American markets.
4. The company is conveniently located near Taipei 101 and the Xinyi District.
1. The company has recently experienced a high turnover rate. The main reasons are that the boss is demanding regarding timelines and deliverables and sometimes cannot put themselves in employees’ shoes or demonstrate empathy, resulting in a relatively high proportion of employees leaving due to differences in values.
2. As mentioned above, when the boss is anxious to push progress, it is even more important to strengthen communication and build consensus, ensuring that the goals for deliverables are aligned with those of the supervisor. Reducing emotionally driven breakdowns in trust would also help prevent increased communication costs.
The designer was beautiful, but she has already left.
The company has now changed its name to "與你同在數位媒體股份有限公司" Being with you
The company atmosphere depends on the boss’s mood that day. If he is unhappy, he will threaten to dock half your salary. He will constantly ask you to work on Saturdays and Sundays, but there is no overtime pay. After you resign, he will push all the problems onto you. The boss habitually lies, and verbal promises do not count. Remember: if he promises you anything, make sure to put it in writing.
The previous technical team communicated well among themselves and had excellent technical skills, but unfortunately could not meet the company's expectations.
The company has high expectations for efficiency and holds employees to high standards, especially the technical team.
Work estimated to take three hours is considered something that can be completed in five minutes; a three-week timeline is compressed into one week; and you must also be able to accept constantly changing feature requirements. Those who believe they cannot meet these high standards are not advised to try lightly. If you cannot wholeheartedly unite with the boss, set aside your personal needs, work until 2 or 3 a.m., and accept not receiving overtime pay, you are also not advised to try lightly.
The company's vision is to build amazing products: when you are tired, you must keep pushing; there are no excuses; work yourself to the bone. You must also be willing to accept intensive guidance and withstand the pressure of constantly revising finished work. There is no such thing as you being too tired—only that you are not pushing hard enough. If you are technically excellent but believe you need a normal life and leisure time, and cannot keep up with the company's pace, you are not advised to try. Some employees could not meet the company's expectations and had to seek opportunities elsewhere. Those who remain are all outstanding talent willing to work hard, unafraid of fatigue, and willing to work themselves to the bone. If you have extremely high confidence in yourself and are eager to challenge your limits, you can give it a try.
