Colleagues are nice (except the Kaohsiung managers)

The office culture is free (except in Kaohsiung)

Salary adjustments and promotions are entirely at the discretion of the managers

Most of the work involves compensatory leave, and whether you receive overtime pay depends on whether your direct manager is straightforward

As a newcomer, you have to pray that your manager assigns you to a good project site. I’ve seen many people work here for over a year and end up with neither technical growth nor bonuses

There are two major political factions: technical and business, but there are further subdivisions within both the technical and business sides

The head is very petty

The starting salary is okay for newcomers.

1. There is no overtime pay, and even the overtime spent on emergency repairs cannot be reported, let alone the work that normally falls outside the scope because the contracts were not properly drafted.

2. Supervisors appear to require programming skills, but in practice, many of those promoted are monkeys who cannot write programs.

3. The sales team has no ability to draft contracts at all. Even for major university projects, they can gloss over everything by simply writing “system” once; at best, the contract just specifies a few pieces of equipment.

4.

Interviews are held twice a month as group interviews for applicants. During the interview, managers from five departments interview you together, which feels very formal. The managers are all nice as well, and they ask quite a lot of questions about your previous programming experience, internships, student clubs, and so on.

You need to travel to Kunshan. I didn’t know beforehand that there would be so many managers, so I was a little intimidated.
