A company with a very bad reputation—almost everything said above is true. Within a short time, half the people had been replaced. The company basically has no competitiveness, and there is absolutely no professionalism inside. The bosses are the source of the chaos, one man and one woman playing off each other, then fundraising, fundraising, fundraising; unpaid wages, unpaid wages, unpaid wages.
The company has a nice environment. Some managers are nice.
The CEO has a very strong need for control; all emails and text messages must be reviewed. She is extremely forceful when questioning subordinates. Her moods fluctuate greatly. Her own schedule often interferes with subordinates’ quitting time (because she needs to decide every minor matter). She is emotional and lacks empathy and basic communication skills. It is very apparent that she lacks the systematic understanding required to manage a business. The turnover rate is extremely high.
Nice scenery, and some colleagues are great.
The boss is very selfish and keeps delaying wage payments! No integrity!
What does the vice president even do every day? All they do is talk, which only makes their lack of ability even more apparent!
The finance manager mentions the IPO every time—is the company’s financial situation unclear? It’s truly speechless!
In short, everyone is lucky that you can’t even find job openings for this company on 104, because it currently doesn’t have the ability to hire people!
Wishing everyone looking for a job the best of luck, and I hope you don’t end up at another unscrupulous company like this!
Absolutely no advantages.
Coworkers love passing off their work, and other departments will keep pushing their work onto you as well. The boss likes to delay salaries and acts as if it were perfectly normal, then lays employees off when they can’t pay the wages—what a joke! They’ve owed pharmacies three or four months’ worth of goods. Even when the pharmacies request order cancellations, they still don’t promptly return the money; the pharmacies have to keep chasing them for payment before they’ll pay it back. It’s really unlucky to work for a company like this. If you don’t care about getting paid, you can come work here. I sincerely hope a company like this will stop recruiting new people to harm them, okay?
Only if you really can’t find a job and absolutely need to have an income first before considering other options
There are no advantages.
Also, regarding the fundraising, it’s true—everyone should be careful.
There are no advantages whatsoever.
The boss is autocratic, colleagues will betray you, and the managers are all utterly useless. No matter how well you perform, you will never get a raise or a promotion. Female colleagues who are a little better-looking receive special treatment from the male boss and are targeted by the female boss. When something goes wrong, they never come forward to face it; they just blame the employees for everything.
No advantages
1. The HR manager has very little to do and spends all day walking around, interfering in the affairs of other departments. They are unpopular in the company, and their handling of personnel matters is extremely unprofessional. There are rules, but they are not followed at all.
2. One of the owners is very emotional. When displeased, they will call employees into the office and berate them directly; female employees have been scolded to the point of tears.
3. Being undermined by supervisors is a common occurrence. There are no standard procedures or SOPs. You think what your supervisor teaches you is an SOP? No—when the boss tears you to shreds, the supervisor will only shirk responsibility and say it was all your fault.
4. There is no overtime pay. Compensatory leave only starts accruing after working past 6:30 p.m. Employees may be forced to work overtime, with various excuses used to keep them at work.
5. Compensatory leave for overtime cannot be exchanged for wages. If you want to convert it into wages, you can only do so after resigning. This sounds inconsistent with the Labor Standards Act, but the HR manager does not care.
6. Aside from the supervisors, the company's most senior employees have all been there for less than a year. Turnover is extremely high, the company cannot retain talent, and then it lures people in using other job openings.
Relaxed
Luring people to interviews with a different job position
The colleagues are easy to get along with
1. Managers are very good at avoiding responsibility
2. The female boss has absolutely no trust in anyone; everything has to wait for instructions
3. I have been working here for over a year, and employees come and go constantly—the turnover rate is extremely high! The company completely ignores this situation and does not think there is any problem at all
4. The HR manager is just a mouthpiece for the female boss. I have never seen such an incompetent HR department
(1) The owner and managers do not know what their subordinates are doing or how things should be done. Everything gets handed to you, and no one can teach you, so you have the opportunity to hone your skills.
(2) You will encounter all kinds of bizarre phenomena (all caused by the owner). You can only say that you have the opportunity to revisit the Bible, Buddhist scriptures, the Four Books and Five Classics, books on emotional management, and so on, to increase your wisdom and EQ in handling matters. Once you get through this stage, your outlook on life will rise to another level—you may even have the opportunity to attain enlightenment. The Diamond Sutra says: “All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew or lightning. They should be regarded as such.”
(3) There is no strategic management, no work plans, no project planning, and no systems. You simply assess and handle matters on your own all the way through, which increases your flexibility in doing things—as well as your collection of negative examples.
(1) The “emperor emeritus” phenomenon. An investor who is not the owner (the male protagonist at Lianhong Information Technology) interferes in all sorts of company decisions, large and small, like an emperor emeritus.
(2) The owner is impossible to communicate with. The actual owner, a woman (the female protagonist at Dexuan Technology), has volatile moods, does not understand the company’s affairs, large or small, and does not listen to your explanations. Even if you explain, she may not understand. She is very good at forgetting things she has said herself, and even if you act according to her instructions, you may still be scolded. When she is in a bad mood, she simply scolds people. The purpose of the scolding is to enslave you and make you take the blame. Therefore, employees all discuss work-related problems with the Lianhong male protagonist—the person who is not the owner but interferes in and manages matters everywhere—and ask him to make decisions.
(3) Senior managers who do not make decisions. Quite a few senior managers have been hired, but none have been able to work with the female owner. At present, one or two managers are merely there to block bullets. In reality, there are no managers: managers have no decision-making power. There are only managers who do not do the work and block the owner’s bullets, and ordinary employees who are worked to death.
(4) The external consultant phenomenon. Because the owner does not delegate authority to managers, the female owner holds on to every matter, large or small. She extremely distrusts employees, so she hires external consultants to listen to experts’ opinions.
(5) Extremely high turnover. Do not expect to get promoted here. Only a few engineers in R&D have stayed for a long time (and recently they have also started leaving). Other departments can go through three or four batches of employees in a year; people leave before you even get to know them.
(6) An extreme one-person dictatorship. Without understanding any of the details, the female owner will speak aggressively and say that you do not understand, then start scolding people. Only what the female owner says counts. If you follow the emperor emeritus’s instructions, you may be scolded, but everyone still has to seek him out because at least he will listen to you explain things.
(7) The owner is the source of chaos. The owner should unite morale and mediate disputes among departments, but here there are only two departments: the female owner and the employees (what about the emperor emeritus? He just watches the show). When problems arise, do not expect anyone to mediate disputes. The owner’s decisions obviously cannot be wrong; the problem is always you, the employee. There are too many employee problems, so external consultants must be brought in. As for the true source of the decision-making chaos—what do you think?!
(8) No systems. This summarizes all of the phenomena above.
Several colleagues at the company are nice.
Pros
Several colleagues are nice
Cons
Everything other than the above advantages is a disadvantage~
The senior manager has a very strong need for control.
Many managers slack off. They make mistakes themselves but expect others to clean up after them and take the blame. Otherwise, they work very slowly and then push the blame onto others, saying it was the other person's fault.
Leaving work on time is considered a sign of not taking the job seriously.
They simply want to work you to the breaking point.
Salaries for non-managerial positions are really low.
Even earning 35K means taking on a lot of responsibility and doing many things.
If you know how to work, you'll be worked to death; if you don't, you can slack off to your heart's content.
This company chooses people based not on ability, but only on appearance.
After joining, you'll feel that you'll never encounter a company worse than this one.
My colleagues are all very nice~ We also order lunch and drinks together and things like that.
They really love using the two job openings “HR” and “Executive Assistant to Senior Administrative Management” to recruit people.
They interview you under either of these titles or some other job title, but in reality, they already have a different position in mind that they actually need to fill, and then they send you over to that position.
At this company, many people apply for HR or finance positions but end up in customer service, at the front desk, or something similar.
There are an incredible number of examples like this; they happen one after another.
The company doesn’t find it strange at all.
The turnover rate is insanely high~~~ Staying for three or four months counts as a long time; staying for half a year makes you a senior employee; staying for a year is absolutely extraordinary.
When leaving the company
The employee turnover in the company's sales department is extremely high.
I had already seen three groups replaced within one month of joining the company.
The bonus system was not clearly explained during the interview.
The initial salary offer may look very attractive,
but shortly after joining, they will effectively reduce your pay through salary adjustments.
They use the sales staff to conquer the market, then discard them once they are no longer needed.
Many highly capable senior employees have quietly left.
On the surface, they say that many matters are open for discussion,
but in reality, the company is run as a one-person dictatorship....
Friends considering interviewing or working here should think it through carefully.

Had a basic understanding of the company beforehand; the interviewer said that I had done my homework.
The interviewer has many expectations for the position, and there are many things you can do—at a small company, everyone can accomplish big things.
However, in the first interview, the interviewer talked more than the interviewee.
Moreover, it was all very theoretical.
It felt like they had memorized more than a recent graduate.
Beautiful environment, with a view of Taipei 101.
Even in a small company, there are internal power struggles and factions. The boss berates female employees until they cry, and turnover is very high.
After seeing so many absurd things, you can take everything in stride.
Unpaid wages! Unpaid wages! Unpaid wages!
Likes to save on manpower
Makes the best use of people
Think twice before going
If you practice asceticism, you might consider taking your training to the next level~
Hone your EQ
Lianhong Unpaid Salary Notebook (nickname: Lianhong, Lianhong, Pay Me Back Notebook):
Accumulated unpaid wages have reached four months (and the period will probably continue to grow....)
Lianhong's payday is the 15th of every month (super late...)
I'll come here to record whether I have received the overdue wages
For the reference of the many job seekers
Helping everyone gain insight
Following up on the previous review (the following concerns Lianhong; however, the two companies share the same office, and job postings on 104 will also be cross-posted between them)
1> Salaries have already been unpaid for several months, yet the company continues to recruit employees on 104.
2> Regarding the unpaid salaries, they only say they will be paid when the company’s situation improves, without providing an estimated date. Moreover, there are former employees from several years ago who still have not received the salaries owed to them at the time of their departure, so the likelihood that the outstanding wages will be paid is extremely low.
If you don’t want to be left without pay and even have to borrow money to get by, think twice before joining!!!!
Because Lianhong Information Technology Co., Ltd. is not listed on 104 (for unknown reasons), but this company operates at the same location as Lianhong, and Lianhong’s job openings are also posted under Dexuan (engineering and administrative positions), please note the following before submitting your résumé (these points apply only to Lianhong Information Technology):
1. After checking with the Bureau of Labor Insurance, it was found that the labor and health insurance premiums for 2016 were paid only through July and were not paid thereafter (you can imagine for yourself how much may have accumulated by now and what level of protection this provides employees). There are even records of unpaid premiums from 2012.
2. There are records of unpaid wages; more commonly, wages are paid late, to the point that some employees have had to borrow money to get by. Despite the unpaid wages, employees are often asked to work overtime to meet deadlines. The boss’s logic is, “Does failing to pay wages on time mean you can slack off?” (Isn’t paying wages on time the boss’s responsibility?)
3. You can Google the name of the person in charge of Lianhong Information Technology Co., Ltd. yourself and find previous news reports.
4. The turnover rate is extremely high. Many people leave because of unpaid or delayed wages, and the boss even says that former employees are maliciously defaming the company, showing no intention of self-reflection.
Please think carefully before submitting your résumé.
