Because it is a Japanese company, Taiwanese executives have titles without real authority; decision-making power still rests with the Japanese, so they cannot decide much. As a result, these managers only flatter the Japanese and do not advocate for their subordinates. They may also harass employees by abusing their authority. In addition, it is difficult for women to get promoted—a typical case of favoring men over women. Salary increases are small, around NT$300–400. Therefore, you should definitely negotiate for a higher starting salary.
For people who only seek stability, this company is okay, but you will not gain a sense of accomplishment or feel valued. In other words, anyone can replace you. The Japanese often do not let Taiwanese employees know about many things, so the only area where you can really learn is imports and exports.
Free company parking, lunch provided. Although it is a factory, it is clean and attractive, and complies with the Labor Standards Act.
Because it is a purely Japanese-owned company, Japanese language proficiency is required. For sales-related positions, do not expect to have your own ideas or stand out after joining, because all decisions are made by Japanese supervisors. You passively receive orders and instructions and handle customer correspondence. You do not need to decide prices; quotations are provided by the Japanese supervisors, and you only need to prepare the quotation forms. If you can accept this, it is a good company where you can stay for a long time.
There are free parking spaces, and the lunch is pretty good.
Because of the infighting among your top executives, they failed to provide subordinates with the training they should have received, and then came to berate them for being incompetent. Someone who speaks Japanese and is capable of solving problems cannot get promoted, while someone who neither speaks Japanese nor has good English, and has only been with the company for a few years despite being young, was promoted to assistant manager in a very short time!!! It really makes people feel that as long as you understand the preferences of the top Japanese manager, you can get promoted. This company is truly wonderful!!!
