達佛羅企業有限公司

The chairman is very capable, single-handedly supporting the performance of the entire factory.

Layoffs, and unable to attract talent. In reality, the boss is the only person handling sales; everyone else is more like a sales assistant.

After being sanctioned last year, performance plummeted. The whole company is full of relatives and well-connected insiders. Employees used to be treasured, but now they are treated as completely disposable.

No one can succeed the chairman. The company has begun to decline.

1. The boss treats frontline employees well and is a very powerful salesperson.

2. You become a versatile all-rounder; you can handle a wide variety of tasks, which will make you highly sought after in the industry.

3. Relations among colleagues are fairly pleasant, and many senior coworkers share their work experience.

4. Recently, if you can negotiate a high enough salary, it is barely worth staying.

P.S. I heard from senior coworkers that the company's benefits used to be excellent—the kind that set the ceiling for the industry. Things only started to fall apart after the new management department took over.

1. The company urgently needs people who can hit the ground running, so newcomers basically cannot stay long.

2. Training is inadequate. They rob Peter to pay Paul: wherever there is a gap, they throw someone into it, as long as there is someone to take the blame.

3. The company is full of well-connected relatives and insiders who like to push work onto others, and managers do not dare to discipline them.

4. Salaries vary far too widely.

5. Some senior executives are incompetent and have low EQ; they only know how to flatter the boss, yet that is enough for them to sail smoothly through their careers.

6. The company has laid off many people recently, and many others have resigned voluntarily. Currently, employees are working four days a week without pay for the remaining three days.

7. During the pandemic, salaries were cut. HR said this was money borrowed from employees and would be repaid later, but even when people resigned, it was not repaid (some people did get it back).

8. Before signing any agreement or contract, keep your eyes wide open and read it carefully.

A place to hone basic skills. There is a lot of work, and one person is expected to do the work of three. When you move to another company, your technical skills will be stronger than those of people your age.

1. Capable employees are suppressed by incompetent managers and cannot get promoted.

2. To learn more advanced skills, you need to take them home and study in your own time.

3. If you have no value to the company but earn a high salary, they will force you out using excuses.

4. You have to be a bootlicker to survive there.

5. The people in charge often change cars, while workers cannot even afford to change cars after ten years.

6. It is a good place to hone your mental fortitude through infighting among employees and managers. A unit of just over 30 people can be divided into nearly 30 factions; workers should unite.

There is a fairly large parking lot at the entrance.

1. Major layoffs

2. Unable to find strong managers to join

3. The managers are all relatives or close associates of the leadership

4. The office seating is completely exposed, with no partitions

5. Numerous factions

The boss wants to develop digital initiatives

It all comes down to how much money they can burn

They’ve reached the end of the road

They’ve already started laying people off

After you join,

people with no ability but family connections will be your supervisors

Because no matter how incompetent they are, they’re still family connections

They can’t be laid off

1. Most of the colleagues I’ve encountered are actually quite good. There are a few bad apples, but as long as you ask, they’re generally willing to teach you. Even if a department manager is difficult to communicate with, you can often get answers by asking other people in the same department instead. It can help you develop the ability to find answers indirectly.

2. In the five-axis machine industry, the company is considered one of the top ones in Taiwan.

3. You can genuinely learn a lot.

4. The boss is very capable in business.

1. There have been layoffs, and people in the department may be expected to do the work of not just three people, but five.

2. Raises are difficult to get. New hires are advised to ask for a higher salary from the outset, since internal raises depend largely on the boss’s discretion.

There is definitely a lot to handle, and it can be mentally exhausting. Set a clear goal and work hard toward it. Congratulations to those who have left, and best of luck to those who remain.

There is a basic gift voucher of 500 for each of the three major holidays.

There are overseas employee trips (participation depends on length of service).

The founder has ideas and great ambition (unfortunately, the company’s basic management cannot be handled well).

There is an annual bonus (for several years now, it has not amounted to a full month’s salary).

General staff are all required to clean, sweep, mop, and wash the toilets (the company owner wants to save money and does not want to hire cleaning staff).

Like most small and medium-sized traditional manufacturing companies, there are many relatives and associates of influential people within the company.

Cross-departmental communication is extremely poor, and departments shift blame to one another.

The supervisor has very low EQ (and is also a relative or associate of an influential person), only makes empty promises, and applies pressure.

The company has already begun implementing unpaid leave.

From a departmental perspective, some departments pay well and allow you to leave work on time, while others are the complete opposite.

Benefits:

One month’s year-end bonus

NT$500 gift vouchers for the three major holidays

The grand prize at the year-end party is no more than NT$20,000

Those mentioned below

There are three holiday bonuses: NT$500 in PX Mart vouchers

One month’s year-end bonus

Year-end banquet

Overseas employee trip (depending on seniority)

The supervisor has relatively low emotional intelligence

Clearly dating a subordinate, but stubbornly denies it

Have absolutely no idea what the job entails

Work is very boring, and we’re still forced to wait for the supervisor to leave at 7 p.m. every day

The supervisor provides plenty of room for personal development and is quite receptive to new ideas.

During the system transition, there is more paperwork.

None

Underreporting of labor and health insurance wages

None

Senior executives are often replaced

and management positions have been open for years

1. There are many things to learn here, and it is a good place to use as a stepping stone.

2. The salary and benefits are considered good compared with those at other companies in the same industry.

1. The internal promotion system is unclear, so it is not recommended for those looking to stay for a long time.

2. Cross-departmental communication is very poorly coordinated.

3. The work environment is somewhat outdated.

There is plenty of room to learn.

The transformation work requires learning.

There is plenty of room for learning, and several in-house training sessions are arranged each year. Before the pandemic, there were domestic and overseas employee trips. For a traditional industry company, the benefits are considered quite good.

Because an electronic work reporting system is used, there are higher expectations regarding employees’ daily progress, which can create some pressure.

There is a lot of room for learning, with an emphasis on teamwork

There are many processes to learn during the transformation

It’s not a dead-end job. Every day may bring different challenges, so sometimes it can feel stressful. However, if you ask, senior colleagues are always willing to offer guidance and discuss things together. Also, as long as you get your work done, you can usually leave work fairly punctually.

The office has an open-plan layout, and there are no partitions between desks. If you previously worked in an environment with more personal space, it may take some time to get used to.

Learned a lot at work. It is a high-pressure environment, but when you encounter something you do not understand, you will not be left to deal with it on your own. The department manager is also someone you can discuss things with.

The department itself is relatively high-pressure, and the work also requires a lot of communication.

None

1. Newcomers are not valued. Management only communicates with senior employees, and after communicating, the senior employees do not share anything; they only tell newcomers to do odd jobs.

2. Senior employees neither provide guidance nor teach. They chat on LINE all day, and when you ask a question, you have to wait until they finish chatting before they answer.

3. Senior employees have low emotional intelligence and poor emotional management.

4. The office atmosphere is tense.

None

Poor working atmosphere, with a serious lack of communication between departments. High employee turnover, limited freedom to perform at work. Really not recommended.

None

The workload is extremely heavy, with one person doing the work of three. The company is also very unwelcoming to newcomers and does not tolerate mistakes from new employees. Training is not very thorough either. As with other small and medium-sized enterprises, there are many relatives of influential people in the company. Cross-departmental communication is very ineffective, and people often pass the buck. The atmosphere within the company is also very rigid; employees are generally not allowed to chat, and someone will keep an eye on them. For all these reasons, the turnover rate is extremely high, and even interns are unwilling to stay.
