Does an air-conditioned factory count?!
The work environment is far too noisy. I have personally worked at three companies.
I have never encountered anywhere this noisy.
Because it is an assembly line (with a very strong emphasis on speed), everything is on one continuous line, and all the work is crammed together.
There is the sound of air guns spraying to clean parts, the sound of electrical distribution motors being test-run, and the sounds of the air conditioning, air compressors, and compressors.
These noises are constantly present, with varying intensity, pitch, and frequency.
My work location was right in the middle of the entire factory, so I could not stand the noise coming from all directions.
Personally, I feel that wearing earplugs cannot solve this problem.
We also had to wear purple plastic gloves and a construction hard hat. After sweating, my bangs were soaking wet.
Overtime was required every day, including Saturdays. The factory site was under renovation, so we sat on the floor to eat boxed lunches and sleep at our work area.
The overtime was excessive. The annual salary, including the year-end bonus, should be around NT$700,000. Recommended for people who can really endure tough conditions.
Extremely good at deceiving people
They lure people in with lies first, then transfer them to on-site units

1. The interview was at 8:30 a.m., with a series of tests. I first interviewed with a female team leader, followed by a male department manager. It was a lengthy interview that did not end until after noon. The department manager said that successful candidates would be notified within seven days.
2. At 3 p.m. the next day, the department manager called and asked me to go to the company immediately for a second interview. Since I did not live in the Guanyin District, I had to drive a long way there in a hurry. I think the second interview was with an assistant manager. Like a speech contest, it tested my speaking skills and reactions. Again, they said that successful candidates would be notified within seven days. I had already explained that, since I did not live in the Guanyin District, I would need two weeks to find a place and move. At the time, they agreed that I could start work two weeks after being hired.
3. On the seventh day after the second interview, the department manager called to tell me that I had been hired and that I had to report to work within two weeks. Because of the company's procedures, the written offer letter had to go through the entire process before HR could send it to me. Because time was tight, I had no choice but to urgently find a place and move. A week later, the department manager called to say that the hiring notice would not finish going through the process in time, and sent me the medical examination requirements first so that I could start work sooner. The department manager also knew that I had already moved and told me to patiently wait for the hiring notice. I kept waiting but never received it. Over the course of a month, we exchanged many phone calls, and I was repeatedly told to wait patiently and that they would urge the process along. After a month had passed, the department manager suddenly avoided meeting me. Only after I called the team leader was I told that the company had canceled the position. I was completely stunned. The managers at every level kept saying that the company had systems and scale, but I never expected it to be so "untrustworthy" and go back on its word, wasting the job seeker's time and money. It was an extremely disappointing company.
1. Overtime pay for monthly salaried employees is not calculated according to the multipliers stipulated in the Labor Standards Act; the same applies to overtime on holidays.
2. The company culture treats working overtime as a matter of course, reflecting an exploitative employer mentality.
3. Working hours for daily-paid employees are unstable. When there are no orders, they are placed on unpaid leave; they may even work overtime until 9 p.m. one day and be placed on unpaid leave the next day.
4. Equal work is paid unequally; the amount of production bonuses depends entirely on the supervisor’s personal preferences.
5. Working during typhoon days off does not come with any additional overtime pay.
