Read the community guidelinesThere is no employee training, and senior employees do not guide newcomers. It could be said to be a good opportunity to test one’s abilities?
1. Overtime is required every day; if you do not work overtime, you will be called in for a meeting.
2. You have to fight for your own overtime pay; if you do not speak up, you will not receive it.
3. The company has a high employee turnover rate.
4. Typhoon days off are unpaid.
5. Working hours are flexible, but regardless of what time you arrive, you must work overtime.
6. Contrary to what the company claimed on 104, there is no employee training. Newcomers have to figure things out themselves, and sometimes they are even scolded for asking questions.
7. Senior employees can arrive late without a care, but newcomers are called in for a meeting if they are late.
8. When laying employees off, the company does not provide a certificate of involuntary resignation; you have to confront the company to get one.
9. If you have something to do and cannot work overtime, that is fine—just work remotely. The company computer will be left on, waiting for you to connect remotely.
None
The company benefits are very poor, and these are things they will not tell job applicants during the interview. For example, people from the company or department will tell you that there is no overtime, but in fact, you have to work overtime every day,!!!! and you are not paid overtime!!!! This is something you have to fight for yourself; otherwise, the company will not provide it.
The benefits are very poor and are hidden from job applicants during the interview.
Many people have already been replaced in the PM position; they were all forced out.
You have to work overtime every day without overtime pay. If you do not work overtime, you will be called in for a meeting and accused of being irresponsible at work.
The people at the company are very difficult to get along with. They do not support new employees, leaving them to fend for themselves, and they give you disapproving looks when you ask questions.
You could say there are no advantages.
1. Overtime happens every day. If you can’t come in, you’ll have to work overtime remotely.
2. The company only pays overtime when management says it is required. For other overtime, if you can’t finish your workload, the company won’t pay you.
3. The people in each department involved in animation production are nice, but the PM is difficult to deal with and leaves new employees to fend for themselves.
4. The company does not pay for typhoon-related work suspensions!! This is the first time I’ve seen a company with a policy like this.
5. Because of flexible working hours, people have no sense of time. When it’s time for a meeting, not a single person may be there, and someone has to call them one by one.
6. Although there are many people who arrive late, new employees who obediently arrive and leave on time (without working overtime) should be prepared to leave.
Flexible working hours; you generally don’t need to work overtime as long as you complete your own workload. There’s a snack cabinet you can help yourself to, as well as time to rest your eyes (pretty great lol). There’s also training and internal preview screenings~
Sometimes you have to support the work of teams you’re not good at; the nearby MRT construction has been going on for a long time and is inconvenient.
1. Colleagues are very easy to get along and communicate with, and the environment is comfortable.
2. There are original animations as well as outsourced projects, so you can work on many different types of projects.
3. If colleagues lack the necessary skills (they can’t use Google Mail, Excel, or basic office software, and it’s hard to understand how their abilities can be so poor), reporting them to a supervisor leads directly to saying goodbye during the probationary period, without wasting each other’s time.
4. Flexible start and finish times; you can control your own working hours.
1. A metro station is currently being built near the company, so commuting by scooter is relatively dangerous...
2. Sometimes there is work outside your own scope, so you need to protect your rights and advocate for yourself.
3. The systems and processes are not rigorous enough, so communication takes time.
Can't think of any.
A low-paying sweatshop company that gets upset when you speak the truth. There is no time off in lieu or overtime pay for working on holidays, and the supervisor has a terrible attitude. They talk about dreams and passion—anything but raises and promotions.
Recommendation: People with genuine talent and substance should go to the interview, but don’t put yourself down in advance either.
I say this because their interview method is to have you directly draw a poster for three hours. From talking with people there, I learned that this is because portfolios and actual ability can sometimes differ. Quite stimulating.
Before the test ends, you may seriously wonder whether they even know your name or have looked at your portfolio.
The answer is yes. If they are interested in your work, they will look through it very carefully.
(Because I personally have an online portfolio, it was examined in detail before the interview.)
Summary: Stimulating.
It is an interview where you can see both your own shortcomings and strengths.
1. Colleagues are generally easy to get along and communicate with, the environment is fairly comfortable, and the atmosphere is pleasant
2. The company takes on a wide range of projects, so there are many different things to be exposed to
3. You are not alone when working overtime; there are often many people around
4. Working hours are flexible, with three 10-minute break periods during the day
5. After staying for a while, you learn to protect your own rights and your work efficiency improves (varies from person to person)
6. In the short term, it is a good place for newcomers to train and challenge themselves
1. Overtime pay must be claimed proactively
2. The salary occasionally differs from the actual amount; you need to pay attention and assert your rights yourself
3. Leave days occasionally differ from the actual entitlement; you need to pay attention and assert your rights yourself
4. It is understandable that the company requires employees to cooperate with project schedules, but the workload is occasionally assigned at an unreasonable and excessive level. You need to pay attention and raise your difficulties with your superiors (they may not necessarily be taken into account, and there are still opportunities when you ultimately have to grit your teeth and work overtime)
5. Employee training is only offered occasionally (or when required by a project), rather than being “scheduled regularly” as stated on 104; the company tends to favor employees finding ways to pursue further training on their own
6. Salaries are generally lower than in other industries of a similar nature, while the workload is not necessarily lighter, and the scope for salary increases is also smaller
7. The company is located near a metro line currently under construction, during a particularly difficult period for transportation...
8. Employee turnover is relatively high
9. The company is sometimes not particularly rigorous in its quality requirements for completed work...
If all of the following can be achieved and you do not care too much about the quality of the work produced in your area of expertise, then it is basically acceptable.
The job duties, salary adjustments, performance review calculation, and whether there is an annual bonus must all be clarified with the company in advance!
Base salary + performance review; the workload differs from day to day for different projects (you may be working on two or three projects at the same time), "but" the workload calculation must be discussed clearly. If your limit is 80 points while the industry average only requires 40 points, they will make 80 points your base salary standard, and you will receive performance-based compensation only for anything above 80 points.
The job duties are "not" clearly explained in advance, or there are ambiguous areas, and the overtime never ends.
On average, the workload is roughly two to three times that of others in the industry.
