Read the community guidelinesThe office is clean and bright; other than that, it has nothing going for it.
There is nothing to improve because it is beyond saving.
1) Didn't want to spend money hiring a moving company for the office relocation, so employees were told to move everything themselves, thereby training their physical fitness.
2) Employees can eat cookies and drink beverages in the break area, but meals are not allowed because the office is rented and they are very worried about making it dirty.
3) The CEO does not understand software development or the issue of data exchange between the front end and back end, thereby training employees to become self-reliant.
1) The AI manager cannot write Python and does not even understand it when reading it. When given a packaged program, all they can do is extract it; they cannot even perform a basic `pip install`, and employees have to waste time helping deploy it on the manager's local machine.
2) Overtime must first be approved by a manager, but when employees actually apply, the manager rejects it for various reasons (for example: “There is no specific schedule”). If there is a specific schedule, do we still need to work overtime? If you cannot afford to pay overtime, then don't run a company.
3) Employees must clock out by 18:30 at the latest every day; otherwise, they are fined 100 yuan or have 4 performance points deducted. If the work is not finished, that's your problem—clock out and then continue working. The purpose is simply to prevent employees from collecting evidence of overtime; put bluntly, they are afraid of being sued.
4) Employees are notified of their dismissal in the morning and told to leave by noon, without even being allowed to eat lunch. Two HR staff members take turns standing guard and watching employees pack up. It's unclear what they are rushing for; they treat employees like pests to be driven away.
5) I successfully sought compensation for unpaid overtime from the company through labor-management dispute mediation, so I urge employees to protect themselves. If you really worked overtime, be sure to collect evidence.
As a former employee who stayed here for many years before resigning, I’m relieved to see that my former employer is still so active. Although, unsurprisingly, there isn’t much positive to say, I truly... strongly agree with this content.
To be honest, this place is more like a private training institution. You can think of it as taking in large numbers of inexperienced people fresh out of school. After gaining experience, the capable ones all leave, and those who remain... well, that’s just how it is.
The salary isn’t the lowest, but it’s not particularly good either. To retain capable people, either the environment has to be comfortable or the pay has to be high enough. This place has neither, so people naturally leave one by one. Those who stay either have become stuck in a rut or have no real dreams in life, simply getting through each day.
The biggest problem is still that person everyone knows about. To this day, I still can’t understand how the investors can repeatedly be swayed by his sales talk. A company that can operate for ten years without making money is truly a miracle of this century.
From an emotional perspective, he has no ability whatsoever to motivate or comfort employees. His condescending attitude would make you think you were working at one of the world’s top fifty companies; the salary hasn’t arrived, but the experience comes first.
From a rational perspective, regarding his capabilities, I think you can get a rough idea from the company’s operating situation. No amount of marketing content can really represent anything. A company making money is the real truth—otherwise, what do you use to support your employees?
From another perspective, this place is also quite benevolent. It spends so much money training newcomers and giving them a stage. Although there are no teachers or lessons, and everything depends on your own efforts, gold shines wherever it is. If you are at the end of your rope and happen to get an opportunity to join, you might as well give it a try. Given the current chaos in the workplace, this place won’t be the best, but it won’t be the worst either. At least you can survive here... and find a better job.

When we moved offices this year, they were reluctant to spend money on a moving company, so they had us employees move everything ourselves.
**********This is not a company that treats its employees well. Everyone should think about this before joining.**********
They even semi-coerce employees into coming out to whitewash the company. As a current employee, I can't stand by and watch this.
I'll just say one thing: 【There is no pay for typhoon days off】【There is no pay for typhoon days off】【There is no pay for typhoon days off】
These days, Kaohsiung occasionally has 2–3 typhoon days off during the summer.
That means the company is effectively forcing you to take unpaid leave~~~
The female supervisor everyone keeps talking about
is actually the CEO of Fubico.
Her trademark is micromanagement + emotional blackmail.
The most incompetent person in the entire company is her.
I currently work at Fubiku and would like to share some firsthand work experiences, offering readers another perspective when considering online reviews.
In psychology, there is a concept called the “negativity bias,” which means that when people are dissatisfied, they are more likely to feel motivated to speak up. Conversely, when they are satisfied, they are less likely to proactively share their experiences. As a result, reviews on platforms tend to amplify negative voices while overlooking everyday positive experiences.
1. Friendly team atmosphere:
Whether across departments or within the same department, everyone is willing to help one another, proactively discuss issues, and find solutions.
The attitude of saying, “That’s not my job,” is rarely seen.
2. Emphasis on team growth and a learning culture:
A study group is held on the final day of every two-week development cycle (Sprint). For example, a recent book, *Shall We Organize Things First?*, explored code refactoring techniques. The books were purchased personally by the manager and distributed to every team member, with the hope that everyone could grow together and improve their IT literacy.
3. Willingness to self-reflect and improve:
Regarding past or existing problems, the company is willing to face them directly and make gradual adjustments.
There is ongoing motivation to optimize ways of working rather than simply maintaining the status quo.
4. Room to exercise professional expertise:
There is a certain degree of autonomy in development and technology choices, allowing engineers to try better solutions.
5. Free English conversation classes:
The company provides free English conversation classes, giving employees the opportunity to improve their foreign-language skills. This is particularly helpful for those who need to work with overseas customers or teams.
1. Historical issues still remain:
Some of the situations mentioned in negative reviews did indeed exist, and certain areas are still being improved.
Some processes and systems still have room for optimization.
2. A past “disposable chopsticks” phenomenon and high turnover:
For a period of time in the past, the company had a high employee turnover rate, resulting in technical discontinuity and difficulties with knowledge transfer.
However, recently, with the new manager introducing more comprehensive systems and bringing extensive experience, this situation has improved significantly. Technical accumulation and handover processes have become more stable.
3. Differences in experience between departments:
The friendliness of the culture and the impact of learning activities may vary across departments.
However, managers encourage cross-departmental communication so that teams can learn from each other’s strengths.
4. Communication efficiency still needs improvement:
There is still room to help more people understand the full picture when clarifying requirements, communicating information, and explaining decisions.
5. Unclear promotion system:
A system is currently in place, but it remains to be seen whether it will be implemented effectively.
Conclusion:
Fubiku is not without its shortcomings, but it has a culture of facing problems and promoting improvement, along with colleagues who value teamwork and learning. The previous issues of high turnover and technical discontinuity have improved as management systems and staffing have stabilized. To me, this is an environment where I can both apply my professional expertise and continue to grow.
None of the advantages you can think of exist~
1. Company benefits
1-1: Three major holiday bonuses—You may think they exist, but they actually don't, because their listing on 104 says “bonuses/gifts for the three major holidays,” so they usually fob you off with gifts instead. They won't even give you PX Mart gift vouchers~
1-2: Probationary period—They may initially agree on a certain salary with you, but lower it during the probationary period. Even after you pass, they may not adjust it for you; they might even dismiss you the day before your probation ends~
1-3: Flexible working hours—They do indeed offer this, but there is basically no overtime pay. They will say that you are on a responsibility-based system, that completing the work is simply your responsibility, and that you only had to work overtime because of your poor abilities~ So this “flexibility” may sometimes extend into your private time on holidays~
1-4: Self-service snacks and coffee—The employee lounge has a coffee machine and a sparkling-water machine, as well as a limited supply of cheap biscuits and drinks. However, please note that employees are not allowed to eat or chat in the lounge~
1-5: Parking spaces—I've heard that if you use an available company parking space, you have to pay $100 each time~
1-6: Additional note on clocking in and out—Flexible working hours are recorded by clocking in and out on your company computer. The system sometimes malfunctions, so even if you came to work but your clock-in was unsuccessful, or you came to work but forgot to clock in, you have to pay $100 at the front desk and apologize to them~ Otherwise, you have to meekly obtain proof of your clock-in and give it to your supervisor, letting them decide whether to cancel the penalty for you.
1-7: Additional note on clocking in and out—Company regulations require you to complete your clock-in regardless of when you start or finish work, and to do so before 6 p.m.~ This way, you won't be able to collect evidence that you worked overtime, or evidence that your overtime was not reported or paid~
1-8: Year-end and spring dinner gatherings—They can help you compile a Kaohsiung map of top-tier, terrible restaurants~
1-9: Year-end bonus—I've heard it is based on performance evaluations. No matter how hard you work, I've heard the maximum is one month's salary~ Maximum, not minimum~
1-10: Severance pay—If you are lucky enough to join this company and also lucky enough to be dismissed, please proactively ask for your severance pay; otherwise, they may brush you off without even bringing it up~
2. Workplace environment and job duties
2-1: Colleagues—I genuinely think the junior colleagues are all quite nice. After all, they are simply unfortunate people. However, this company prohibits employees from becoming too close, and even tries to require that they not eat lunch together~
2-2: Supervisors—The supervisors said to have actual authority are those at the manager level. I've heard that they are all fairly incompetent and stupid, have no sympathy for employees, and do not even know what they themselves want. The Administration Department is the most horrifying~
2-3: The company's main focus—You may think it is a promising AI company, and they also call themselves an AI company. In reality, it is all fake AI and real Indians: everything you think is AI is done manually. After the fake-AI news, the CEO exclaimed, “How about us?”
3. CEO
Experience: Wears an AI PhD diploma but has no work experience; became CEO through industry–academia collaboration and claims to be the company’s co-founder.
Interests: Flossing while spraying saliva, making up nonsense, and PUA-ing people; habitually looking down on others and endlessly shifting blame onto and smearing employees.
Abilities: Unknown.
Active skills: Sarcasm and disparagement, shouting, emotional blackmail, dismissal.
Passive skills: Control freak, negative atmosphere, bullying through power, luck?
Pet: Head of Administration
In summary, if you are lucky enough to join this company, it will be the biggest stain on your life. You will have the unhappiest working life imaginable. If you have not yet joined this company, please do not refuse to believe the warnings. Everything in the company revolves around that self-aggrandizing, insecure, incompetent CEO who discriminates against and disparages others. After you leave, you will have nothing tangible to show for everything you devoted here. Beginners, challengers, those changing careers for the second or third time, and even those seeking ultimate evolution: do not enter~
Finally, let us mourn the unfortunate founder and investors who entrusted their money, time, and energy to someone with no social experience, no work experience, and possibly no friends, making that person CEO.
Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha
You can experience what it feels like to muddle through at a company with no future.
The company is full of inexperienced people, because every single one was hired for NT$28,000. The CEO is completely empty-headed and has an unbearably obnoxious personality, with no industry experience whatsoever, yet keeps thinking he’s the greatest. All he does every day is hold meeting after meeting, playing house behind closed doors because he doesn’t dare admit that the market simply doesn’t need this lousy company, Fubico.
I really hope everyone will be sure to check Tianyancha. I’ve never worked at such a terrible company in my life, nor have I ever had such an awful supervisor.
The office is spacious and clean, and that's about it.
The interviewer was one of the founders and treated the job candidate terribly.
The entire interview consisted of a conversation; there was no written test, and the questions asked were also very tricky and deliberately belittling.
The interviewer kept insulting and deliberately putting down and demeaning the job candidate throughout the interview, even displaying a contemptuous attitude toward the candidate.
The interviewer asked the job candidate many questions, but no matter how they answered, they were deliberately put down. The interviewer also asked whether the candidate knew how to use WPF. According to the interviewer, someone who knows WPF is expected to be able to communicate about work with current employees within two months;
those who do not know WPF are still expected to achieve this in a short period of time, and four months would be criticized as being too long.
Although I was offered the position, the salary was only 35K, so I still decided that I would not want to go there to be mistreated.
Oh, the company is really clean.
I guess it’s rented, so they can’t make it dirty, haha.
A disgusting, smelly butch female manager came in.
During the interview, she kept using “oh” to brush people off.
They invited me to interview for a position I hadn’t even applied for.
Her attitude during the interview was incredibly arrogant.
All I can say is:
If I could do it over, I’d check the company reviews first and then decide whether to interview.
Please don’t come to this company for an interview and put yourself through this.
This is absolutely a company you would never want to join.
My supervisor has been complaining privately about that female manager for a long time. She still thinks everyone supports her, which is pretty funny.
My supervisor said that after working here for many years, they have become accustomed to seeing senior managers form cliques behind the scenes to ostracize people they dislike. They privately approach the person being ostracized and tell her that they are doing their best to help, when in fact they are the very instigators of the ostracism. Just thinking about it is disgusting. Even more frightening is that some veteran employees and members of management have been treated this way. Even veteran executives have been subjected to this—it’s truly disgusting.
The company clearly prohibits outside employment, yet that female manager brought her own friend in to work, even though her friend has a full-time job elsewhere. That’s absolutely outrageous. Once, because her friend worked until very late, she even blamed the other managers for making her friend work so late and asked whether things could be provided earlier next time, saying that her friend had worked hard until 10 p.m. My supervisor is a full-time employee who works from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and I never heard that female manager make a peep about it. Her friend came in close to 5 p.m. and worked until 10 p.m.—only five hours. It’s absolutely ridiculous: when you have connections, the rules don’t apply.
Still, maybe we should believe the reviews?
Willing to offer a low salary to hire disposable chopsticks.
A while ago, a headhunter called and said there was a high-quality startup with great prospects and similar bullshit. Then they said the salary could be as high as 50K. My inner monologue was: I just left this place—am I supposed to be stupid enough to go back in? ==
Although my current job only pays 43K, which is less than this 50K, I interviewed to join Fubikoo at 28K, and now they want to spend 50K to hire me back???
If they could offer me 50K from the start, was the 28K meant to insult me???
The salary listed on 104 now isn’t even 50K, yet the headhunter can offer 50K???
The more I type, the angrier I get. I still can’t figure out why I ever went to work there in the first place.
None
The interviewers here all have terrible attitudes during interviews, treating you like an idiot, and then directly telling you that you are not the kind of talent the company is looking for.
I urge everyone: please, under no circumstances, come to interview at this company. You will really feel bullied. Let this company go under!!
None
You’ll work overtime to death here—don’t come here under any circumstances = = They’ll also deduct money from your pay.
Being 1 minute late gets you docked 3,000. Everyone, seriously, don’t come here.
The interviewers were all very young and willing to listen to me explain the technologies used in my previous job and thesis.
The senior manager who came in last clearly only wanted to push the salary down. An engineer who understood artificial intelligence, had written related papers, and had relevant work experience still couldn’t get an offer above 35K. They would also deliberately belittle interviewees and make them feel how inadequate they were. Regardless of whether you’re a newcomer or have work experience, I strongly recommend not undervaluing yourself to work there—it’s really not worth it.
1. All the colleagues are either recent graduates or in their first job, so they don't understand the harsh realities of society and therefore don't know what a good company is.
2. If you like eating empty promises, the company will draw you a big pie to eat every so often.
1. Senior management uses every means possible to force capable long-term employees out. Of the 125 employees, fewer than 50 remain, and the company has started recruiting again. Think carefully before joining.
2. During interviews, they humiliate candidates by telling them how bad they are, solely to push down the salary offer. Anyone considering joining should study the Labor Standards Act carefully.
3. During meetings, the female manager only listens to what she wants to hear and completely disrespects presenters otherwise. When she encounters something she doesn't understand, she starts nitpicking to cover up her own shortcomings. Pathetic.
4. They constantly bring in new hires as disposable chopsticks. How much can their technical capabilities really improve?
5. The company's promotion system is unclear. As long as you're sufficiently submissive and good at flattering the female manager, your year-end bonus will surely be decent.
6. The KPIs are set completely arbitrarily; not once have they truly been achieved. As long as the female manager is happy, that's all that matters—whether they're reasonable is another matter.
7. The company claims externally that it uses AI to help the industry, but in reality, much of the work internally is highly manual. It's false advertising...
8. The bonuses for all three major holidays are only NT$300 gift vouchers. If you offend the female manager and get labeled, you'll never receive an annual salary adjustment.
9. Employee benefits are nowhere near what is written on 104; they're just being continuously cut back because the company is making huge profits.
None
1. Pay fit for monkeys; they don't care if fresh graduates with a salary expectation of 28K come for an interview.
2. Overtime culture is the norm; if you have to work overtime, it's because your own abilities are insufficient.
3. The interviewers are all young, and the employees also skew young; promoting disposable chopsticks reviews.
4. Decide for yourself whether it's worth wasting time going to the interview.
5. Don't ignore the reviews on Tianyancha.
The environment is fairly clean
Unpaid overtime is quite serious,
with an average of more than three days of overtime per week,
but in the past six months, only three instances of overtime were allowed to be reported
The salary is as low as it can possibly be.
There’s a female supervisor who is extremely self-important and looks down on people. What do you think?
Oh, by the way, there aren’t any middle-aged employees there... just a bunch of disposable workers, haha.
The male engineers in the first phase were pretty nice.
Low pay and an unpleasant attitude
The female manager had a nasty look during the interview, as if you owed her money.
