Read the community guidelines-Convenient transportation
-The office is generally clean and tidy (everyone in the company cleans it themselves once a week)
-The CEO is detail-oriented and has a lot of ideas (both good and bad; personally, I don't think it's bad, and you can learn about different aspects)
-What the previous posts said is completely accurate
-Several department heads are very emotional and can suddenly change their attitude. Working here, you are often subjected to emotional manipulation or emotional abuse
-A bunch of lengthy, ineffective meetings
1. Convenient transportation, close to the MRT station—less than a 3-minute walk
2. There is a coffee machine, and the milk is from Oatly, which can save you the cost of coffee every day
3. The environment is quite cozy, with plants everywhere
4. Hand soap and dishwashing detergent are available
The following information is based on my personal experience. First of all, the organization is very chaotic, so there are a huge number of group chats (both internal and external). As a result, many things end up being discussed in the groups even when people are not involved. Also, the company is small and the soundproofing is poor, so you can see/hear all kinds of things happening internally.
1. Don't go! Don't go! Don't go! The highest turnover I've experienced so far was 14 people leaving in one month.
2. The people at the top only push responsibility onto others. On the surface, everyone is very polite, but behind the scenes there are lots of complaints. It's always someone else's fault, and no one wants to solve problems. Even though the company is so small, they still insist on creating conflicts and forming factions.
3. As mentioned above, because the people at the top have no intention of solving the fundamental problems, and because turnover is so high, there are many gray areas. Unresolved issues continue to pile up, making things exhausting for the people below. New hires have to take over and resolve these issues as soon as they join, which is mentally draining and creates a vicious cycle.
4. Internal training is terrible.
5. Department A: The manager and subordinates often hold opposing opinions in meetings and even verbally question each other. It can be quite a spectacle—and very awkward.
6. Department B: Turnover is high, and the manager is very emotional. I often hear her shouting loudly in a Chinese accent. She is extremely disrespectful toward Finance and HR, as well as toward people in her own department. When she cannot persuade everyone during discussions, she often throws a tantrum or raises her voice more and more. She is really loud—you can hear her even in the conference room. However, her attitude toward senior management is completely different. She often badmouths other departments while assuming that her comments will not reach anyone else.
5. Department C: Much of the information provided is completely wrong, and some of the ingredients are even misspelled. All I can say is that it was no surprise that MedPartner made them look bad before.
6. Department D: The manager and the marketing manager are very close friends, forming a kind of political symbiosis. They are very proactive and eager to show off. Sometimes their messages make me think I am in a multi-level marketing group. They love sending messages at strange times (5 a.m., holidays, etc.).
7. Department E: Calm on the surface, but turbulent underneath.
8. The restrooms belong to the building, so the environment and cleanliness are not very good. You also have to bring toilet paper out from the office yourself, which is a minor drawback.
The colleagues are very nice, and everyone is willing to help one another at work. We also get along very well.
The scope of work is quite broad; it depends on how you look at it.
Some people feel that the responsibilities are unclear, but I think you get to work on many different types of tasks and can learn quite a lot.
As mentioned above, because the scope of work is quite broad, there are situations where the division of responsibilities is unclear.
The workload has improved slightly after raising it with the supervisor. This is just my personal opinion, for reference only.
None! None! None!
It’s so important I’ll say it three times!
This is the worst company I’ve ever worked for—without a doubt.
Workplace PUA tactics are applied to perfection. If you have a very strong mindset and want to be socialized by society ahead of time, you’re welcome to give it a try.
They promote themselves with slogans about being a B Corp and loving Taiwan, but in reality they constantly deny employees, verbally bully them, attack them in public, continuously destroy your self-esteem, and endlessly criticize employees. Their so-called sincerity toward people means believing they can lower themselves to talk with you, while portraying their exploitation of employees as the company generously granting you a job and giving you opportunities to learn.
There is no system whatsoever within the company. Organizational divisions and job objectives are unclear, work processes are a complete mess, and the organizational chart seems capable of changing every month.
They expect employees to obey unconditionally. Their way of handling dissenting opinions is to launch personal attacks and question the individual abilities of those who disagree.
Decisions by superiors are always based on “god feeling”; logic and analysis are completely unnecessary. The endless hell of submitting proposals never reaches a conclusion.
Oh, and there is also a female senior executive who talks a lot but says nothing. She can brazenly say that she doesn’t understand anything and that it’s perfectly normal not to know, then irresponsibly throw her weight around, attack colleagues, and pass the buck in all kinds of ways. Every department is left to clean up the messes created by her so-called high-level, brand-oriented projects. No wonder the departmental turnover rate is so high.
There are simply too many shortcomings to list.
Are these experiences a journey of spiritual growth or cult indoctrination? After being PUA’d to the fullest, I can no longer tell!
There aren't really any advantages.
They can't retain employees; staff turnover is extremely high, with four or five people—or even more—leaving every month. The boss is very rude in all sorts of ways, and lower-level employees are basically cannon fodder. No matter the position, in short: don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go!

Not respectful of job applicants at all. You spend time filling out information and preparing for the interview, but the interviewing manager is scrolling through their phone and clearly has no intention of conducting a real interview, dismissing you in less than three minutes.
The building security downstairs is extremely tight, so there’s no need to worry about debt collectors showing up.
1 Transportation is inconvenient. In New Taipei City, it is quite a long distance from the MRT station, and bus services are also very infrequent.
2 Before the interview, you have to write a large number of questions unrelated to the position, as if you were a middle school student applying through a recommendation process. It wastes other people’s time.
3 The female manager who conducted the interview had a poor attitude. She did not even introduce herself, and it was impossible to see what professional expertise she had. The questions were even hollow; she only forcefully demanded that people “learn more,” while being unable to offer a corresponding salary. She was quite skilled at questioning other people’s résumés, though.
4 After getting home and looking it up, I found that this company’s raw materials and marketing had been thoroughly criticized:
