Read the community guidelinesNeihu Science Park—is that considered an advantage?
The position is for an engineer. The transportation allowance is NT$2.5 per kilometer for motorcycles and NT$5 per kilometer for cars (however you calculate it, you still lose money).
Parking fees are subsidized when going off-site to install equipment, but not when going to the company.
The equipment is heavy—very heavy. The installation site can also increase the difficulty and the risk of injury.
You spend the entire day on-site doing construction work, then have to rush to other clinics for maintenance after finishing (exhausting).
There are no benefits. You get NT$1,000 on the company’s anniversary.
The year-end bonus is the most calculating: two months’ worth, paid in two installments—one month at Lunar New Year and one month at the Mid-Autumn Festival (clever).
If there is a typhoon day off, it will be unpaid.
The Korean headquarters uses many internal apps—at least four or five. It takes time to learn the procedures.
Taking leave also requires going through a complicated process.
After experiencing the company, you will know that this system treats Taiwanese employees like labor slaves.
Regardless of the position, I strongly advise against working here.
The company environment is fairly good.
This is a Korean company, and the CEO is appointed by the Korean headquarters. The current CEO, Mr. An [name redacted], is extremely stingy and emotional. Unless the person in charge is replaced, I do not recommend working for this company.
Examples of stinginess: The sales commission structure is unclear, and various excuses are used to make deductions here and there, so you ultimately receive no bonus. Transportation expense reimbursements are questioned whenever your performance is poor, with doubts about whether you falsely reported expenses. The annual KPIs are also a mystery. Although there are salary-increase rules, the most important factor is still whether the CEO likes you.
The computers are outdated, and the desktop monitors have a very antique feel. Even when the sales staff's laptops are practically falling apart, the company is unwilling to replace them with new ones.
All sent and received emails are also blind-carbon-copied to the CEO, as are Skype conversations. Computer data is sent back to the headquarters in Korea. Monitoring is extremely intrusive, and USB devices cannot be used either.
The CEO likes to define how hard you work by whether you work overtime. If you want to leave a good impression, wait until the boss leaves before clocking out.
I heard from senior employees that the previous CEOs were all very good, making this a happy company. Everyone is waiting for the boss to be replaced, but judging from the current situation, that appears unlikely to happen anytime soon.
