Read the community guidelinesAlmost none. The only times I felt somewhat useful and knew I wouldn’t be scolded were when I was inexplicably made the department’s switchboard operator, and when my supervisor sent me into a site full of overhead cranes and forklifts to make my way through the warehouse to find goods, instead of sitting in the office.
There were two supervisors: one was impatient and short-tempered, while the other was stern and only knew how to reprimand people. Moreover, the company culture had very little tolerance for mistakes; mistyping a single character would get you lectured for half an hour. I completed assigned tasks using the most conscientious approach I could, but I was still harshly criticized. I hope they can be more understanding of their employees.
What left the deepest impression about this company is that its leaders constantly teach employees by example how to make empty promises. The employee benefits listed on 104 all come with caveats: “If we don’t make money, there’s nothing—okay? 👍”
Welfare funds are deducted every month, but how many years has it been since the company organized an employee trip?
At every meeting, they say how much money the company is making, and every month they announce the actual shipment amount—starting at several million US dollars. Then, with one statement that we didn’t make money because of the pandemic, there were no holiday bonuses and no year-end bonus.
Long live the chairman~ I’ve learned so much from Chairman Chen~
A flawless company—truly the best at teaching us what society is all about. A gentleman values righteousness, while a petty person values profit.
The cleaning lady is very diligent.
So scary—the reviews here are really manipulated.
A company with an extremely high turnover rate; overtime pay and other payments are not provided in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, and it has been caught in labor inspections multiple times.
The interviewer was from a younger generation and easier to communicate with. The interview did not leave me at a loss about what to ask, nor did they maintain a distant, unapproachable attitude. They explained all the relevant details of the job, and there were clear questions and answers.
1. Very far from the city center and rather remote
2. You have to take a test first, and only after completing it can you interview
3. The salary publicly listed on the job bank is the salary after the probationary period; when you first join, it will initially be slightly lower
Absolutely no advantages…
The pay is so low it makes you cry; they work you and berate you like a dog…
I used to work here.
But this company seems to have no advantages.
Extended overtime is the norm, and violating the Labor Standards Act is even routine. Last year, they violated 12 provisions of the Labor Standards Act all at once.
With things in this state, both long-term employees and foreign workers would choose to resign, right!!
There are excellent support staff, such as Sunny Boy.
Seeing the constant stream of criticism online directed at my former employer,
I can confirm that it all reflects the firsthand experiences of victims like us in the past.
Yes!! It really deserves all the criticism.
It seems completely unmoved despite being publicly cited multiple times for violating the Labor Standards Act.
Shihlin? Industrial helps many disadvantaged groups, donating scholarships to support them and helping many local students in Kaohsiung pursue their education.
Sometimes, when I see those negative comments, I feel they are rather unfair. If anyone thinks what I am saying is incorrect, I am willing to stand up and confront them. I am a devout Buddhist, and I believe things should be done fairly and openly!
Some people at this company appear to be very busy, but it feels as though they do not put enough thought into finding better ways to do things. Some managers only criticize without offering constructive suggestions. Given the excellent platform they currently have and their scale, they could directly win orders from automakers in the United States and Europe. In Taiwan, there are really very few companies capable of doing that!
I used to work here. I’ve seen many people write positive reviews, as well as some negative ones, and I’d like to say something fair. The company is indeed very frugal, considering costs in every aspect—that’s how it has been able to keep moving forward in this competitive era!
If the company were really bad, how could some people have worked there until retirement and received generous pensions? The company takes very good care of its senior employees and also helps colleagues who are facing difficulties. I recently heard that the managers who only criticized the company while drawing high salaries and accomplishing nothing have left. I think that is a blessing for them!
There used to be a female supervisor. I think health-related issues may have affected her emotional control, causing many colleagues to misunderstand her. However, she has now retired. As far as I understand, those negative evaluations no longer apply. Although I have left, I still wish all my former colleagues at Shih Teh Industrial lasting happiness!
Sitting in the office with the air conditioning on is pretty nice.
I just want to say, Auntie Lin*ying from Quality Assurance, could you please stop being so nitpicky? Also, please speak more quietly—you’re really loud.
That moment when you can finally go home and rest after working unpaid overtime is truly a small blessing, isn’t it?
Why are occupational safety and so many positions so often left in a constant state of recruitment?
Finally being able to go home and rest after working unpaid overtime is truly a small blessing, isn’t it?
Why are occupational safety and so many other positions so often in a constant state of recruitment?
The stock once rose to NT$120; it is a company with great potential.
When outsourcing vendors hear the name Sede, they give it a thumbs-up; it is a model of the industry.
You learn a lot there, so it is easy to find a job after leaving, and you develop strong resilience under pressure.
Having no shortcomings is the biggest shortcoming—you will only understand what that means after you join.
Former Minister of Education Tu Cheng-sheng once said: “罄竹難書” means that the benefits are too numerous to mention.
※ Think about what makes you happiest at work
1. Your company has an excellent work environment and a superior information system, constantly honing the patience and tempers of colleagues in every department. You can’t complain about either the environment or the information system. There are apples in the Buddhist shrine, and there’s a princess on the first floor. The information system does not tolerate your complaints—you dare to ask, and I dare to raise my voice. It’s practically Ping Wei. You can’t say it’s a program bug, but is it really that difficult to sit at your desk and debug properly?
2. Speaking of this first-floor princess, ever since she was transferred from the front building, the number of outbursts has shot straight into the sky. Did Yang X BOY give you the courage? Why make things so difficult for your colleagues? Please stop browsing auction websites, okay? Can you seriously do your job and earn your salary?
There are too many advantages to list.
You have to take your temperature every day before work.
Why does one person have to create a bunch of accounts to post reviews!!!!!!!!
Pros
The crude review manipulation is really something...
※Source: 60.248.56.211 (copy the IP address into the URL) — it will take you directly to the company’s website.
1. They have absolutely no trust in employees; all employees, including supervisors, are disposable chopsticks.
2. He Jia-shui gets promoted rapidly; once you enter the workplace, you’ll know there are no departmental distinctions—there’s only one supervisor.
3. There are plenty of people who report for work today and resign tomorrow. Those who pass the interview but don’t show up for work for various reasons probably saw the honest website.
4. Somewhere in the company is a Buddhist shrine where it is quiet for long periods. When Shuiguo is in a bad mood, everything instantly explodes, just like in the comment below—especially realistic.
5. Who knows how many years ago the interview questions are from? The score isn’t the point; sucking up to the supervisor is more important. (If you want to join, just set your expected salary below market level and the score won’t matter. Also, remember to take out your phone and look things up during the interview—why do so many people not check Google? Are you trying to make things difficult for HR?)
6. To respond to the pandemic, they turned off the air conditioning first. You all saved electricity to a whole new level, and then they sent you to work in the frontier of Pingtung. (Why not just tell people not to come to work?)
7. Everything above was a dream, so I won’t have to be warned again later for posting this or sued for defamation—I really don’t want that. (But I did say I dreamed it.)
8. “This entire text is purely fictional; any resemblance is purely coincidental.”
There are too many pros.
A publicly listed company
Disputes over overtime pay, etc. ... the list goes on
You can tell there’s a serious problem when the “sunshine boy,” the head of the Administration Department, keeps coming out to defend it.
Useless old retainers occupy high positions, including one with poor emotional control who may roar at and abuse employees at any time.
The company is so afraid of employees changing jobs that it completely neglects professional training.
Those who speak the truth and do practical work are the first to die.
It depends on the person. After working here for several years, I feel it’s actually pretty good. It’s somewhat demanding, but that seems to be true across the industry. The company is growing steadily, with new concepts and products constantly being introduced. If you perform well, the performance bonuses are better than those at other companies. The work environment is good, and it offers opportunities to learn as well as a certain level of job security. It’s a pretty good place to work.
There’s still quite a substantial workload, and the company has a very good reputation among its clients. If you’re looking for an easy job where you can just get by, this probably isn’t the right place for you.

International sales is essentially a customer service role, with high English/foreign language proficiency requirements. The company has a strong foundation!
It’s quite difficult if your business English isn’t good.
The company has cooperative education partnerships with quite a few schools, offering broad exposure and plenty of opportunities to learn.
None
An industry where you can continue to grow as long as you work hard, because its strategy is aligned with the world and is not limited to Asia (you know what I mean).
High pressure
Just a normal company, continuously profitable, with everything it should have.
It could have more advantages, but I wouldn’t oppose that.
Just a normal company, continuously profitable, with all the essentials.
It could have more advantages, but I wouldn’t object.
The managers all seem quite sincere, and they can almost always decide immediately whether to hire someone; they don’t drag things out.
Could the test questions be a bit simpler?
Pros
Because the company went public, everything had to become legal.
Cons
The company’s treatment is unfair. Some people who sit at desks receive high salaries and are frequently absent, while even though we receive a full 14 months of pay, we still cannot compare with those office parasites.
Small but excellent; for a small company, the level of digitalization is quite high.
Some equipment still needs to be properly upgraded.
The different departments get along fairly well; it’s small and excellent, without the factions you find in large companies.
The work emphasizes efficiency, and the pressure is quite high.
Business has always been thriving, so there’s no need to worry about unpaid leave.
The premises did not take the anticipated business development into consideration, making the working environment a bit cramped.
Pay and overtime are provided in accordance with the Labor Standards Act. It may have been illegal before the company went public, but now the Securities and Futures Bureau is supervising it, so no one dares to break the law.
It would be even better if the terms were better than those required by the Labor Standards Act.
A company that places considerable emphasis on performance. The pressure is quite high if you don't meet performance targets, but I suppose that's the rule for survival.
The incentives could be increased further, ha ha ha

Cannot go out to eat lunch on your own without permission
I went online today and read the reviews. I feel that people nowadays are not speaking fairly, so I want to set the record straight today. I managed to survive in the finance department, and to be honest, I haven't learned as much in more than ten years of working in finance as I have over the past few days. Although the instruction was strict, it will benefit me for the rest of my life.
There is indeed a significant gap in work-related understanding and communication between the older generation and younger people, resulting in considerable differences of opinion.
The decision from the interview to notification was made almost immediately; it was quite efficient.
The questions were really difficult, and I often couldn't finish them.
Starting in May, the day and night shift allowances will be increased. They’re actually more generous than those in the electronics industry, so you can earn an extra 4,000–6,000 per month. Awesome.
None
Just an ordinary, normal company
None
Almost never on call at night, and the same goes for weekends. Compared with the 24/7, around-the-clock schedule at electronics factories, it's a world of difference.
None
The supervisor asked very in-depth questions
The exam really took a lot of time
Going public forced everything to become legitimate.
The company’s treatment is unfair. Some people who sit at desks earn high salaries and frequently take leave, while those of us doing the actual work, although we receive a guaranteed 14 months’ pay, still cannot compare with those office freeloaders.
Going public on the OTC market means everything must become compliant with the law.
None
I have been with the company for ten years. Today, I happened to look at some online reviews and found many inaccurate claims, so I feel compelled to speak up. Shihlin Industrial has always been a model among models in the industry. It is a publicly listed company, and its financial statements are all public. If people who do not understand financial statements make random comments, they should go back and study more. Some managers are strict because of the contrast. Because some managers do not manage things, and their departments are in complete disorder, this highlights how strict managers can seem unpleasant. Nevertheless, the fact that this company has remained firmly established cannot be separated from the hard-working and responsible managers who support it.
In fact, it is difficult to make a blanket judgment about any company; it is not appropriate to judge based on one-sided remarks.
I continually see people within the company discussing Sede, and I’ve also seen many people return to the company. Although there are many things I’m dissatisfied with, it is definitely not a simple company.
None
The benefits and compensation are very good.
Some executives are not suitable for their positions. They do not know how to lead their colleagues or identify with the company's mission.
It feels great to get overtime pay at the company, and there are no supervisors overseeing us at night,
But 501 often asks to see our production records, which is really meddlesome.
The company's performance has always been excellent, with the best profitability in the industry.
Overtime is often required, and overtime pay is calculated very strictly.
Pros—14 months of full salary; over 80% of people receive it. Those who don't are simply…
Most management personnel don't understand management; they're either too strict or too lax.
Everyone seems very kind, and the salary is decent.
The test was really a bit difficult.
I heard that someone was recently accepted, but was later told not to come because it was discovered that the resume they submitted had repeatedly been rejected.
There are too many questions on the interview test, and it is often impossible to finish them all.

After joining the company, things are quite different from what outsiders imagine. There are fixed bonuses for the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lunar New Year. Employees who score above 80 in their performance evaluations often receive annual compensation exceeding 14 months’ salary. This has been implemented for the past two years.
The percentage could be a little higher.
The company spares no effort in nurturing newcomers
https://udn.com/news/story/6929/3919916
The pace of change is too fast; people without a sense of challenge have difficulty keeping up.
Looking at the reviews on the website, from the perspective of a company executive, I feel helpless because the actual situation is nothing like this. Rumors stop with the wise; most of them are untrue. Taiwan is already a highly developed country, and we really cannot be misled by false statements. S.D. Industrial Co., Ltd. has grown from a small company into an internationalized one over the past twenty years. Without substantial capabilities, one cannot succeed. S.D. Industrial Co., Ltd. has integrated companies in Europe and the Americas, becoming a global international company. Through my work, I can see the company continuously making progress, developing and innovating products, and marketing them worldwide. I am proud to be part of S.D. Industrial Co., Ltd. All along, the company has spared no effort in cultivating new talent through industry–academia collaboration, and there have been many related reports. Would a company without foresight do this?

Every company has its own problems; the key is whether it is making improvements.
A company that continues to improve. It’s only natural that every company has its own problems; what matters is that it appears to be moving in the direction of continuous improvement!! The work experience has been quite positive.
The factory environment could be improved. Giving it a fresh, revitalized look would give both employees and interviewees greater confidence in the company.
The colleagues are great and easy to get along with
There are always exceptions
The best part of working here is getting another interview invitation!
Please, at least improve the illegal practices!
The only advantage left is having good colleagues...
Young people aren’t afraid of hard work; they just don’t want to be deceived》 Business owners, stop using “We offer high salaries but still can’t recruit anyone” to make insinuations.

Well-established company policies
Excellent working environment

Publicly listed company
Without special connections, it is impossible to work from nine to three
This company looks respectable on the surface.
Here is an personally embarrassing experience I had with Shih Te: I was hired on the day of my interview at Shih Te, and Shih Te immediately sent me a report-for-duty notice (with the start date set for the following month). A few weeks later, Shih Te’s HR called me and gave some utterly unbelievable reasons, the gist of which was that they wanted me to cancel my start date!!! So that very day, I immediately wrote to 104 to explain that this dishonest, terrible company would be permanently blacklisted by me, and that no one should ever be deceived and victimized again!!! Below is what I wrote to 104~~~~~
I have posted my résumé on 104 and have long been a loyal supporter of the platform. Fortunately, while I was still employed by my previous company, I received a notice from Shih Te last month inviting me to an interview. I went to the interview at the mutually agreed time and was hired that same day after the interview (the salary and other conditions had all been agreed upon). We agreed that I would report to the company on a certain date the following month; I had explained in advance that I needed to complete a proper handover at my previous job first. Unexpectedly, today the company’s HR representative called and notified me, using an utterly unbelievable reason, that I should postpone my start date (when I pressed for clarification, HR stated that the offer was actually being withdrawn)!!
In fact, after receiving the offer last month (Shih Te officially notified me by email that same day, and I immediately replied that I would report for duty as agreed), I promptly resigned from my previous company. At Shih Te’s request, I also completed preparations such as the pre-employment health examination before my start date. Even worse, during this period I successively turned down interview opportunities with other companies. How am I supposed to protect my rights and interests when faced with such a terrible company that shows no regard for integrity?! Should I publicly expose its reprehensible conduct online, file a complaint, or........... I would greatly appreciate a prompt reply!!
This company's uniforms are nice, pure white.
They don't pay overtime according to the Labor Standards Act—so stingy.
...
If you are interviewing for a finance or management position (and, in fact, not only those types of positions...), I strongly advise you to think twice and be mentally prepared to leave within six months. Even if you are fortunate enough to receive a high salary, don't celebrate too soon. Too many highly paid (e.g., earning 100K+ per month) senior employees have ended up leaving after being defeated. The reason is that a female senior finance executive at the company will meaninglessly humiliate and angrily berate you every day, and will not treat you like a human being. You absolutely need to think twice—work is something to consider with a long-term perspective.
It’s a company that made a lot of money by going public on the stock exchange.
1. The company makes a lot of money, but employees can only watch from the sidelines. This is one of the reasons for the high turnover rate.
2. There is no separation between public and private matters. The company’s HR manager is the chairman’s daughter. She undermines the company’s systems, arriving late and leaving early every day, not to mention that salaries and overtime pay are often calculated incorrectly each month. Since this is a publicly listed company with many external shareholders, is it reasonable for us to question whether the company is paying for the high-end BMW and Mercedes rental cars she drives? How much is her monthly salary? Is it in line with market rates? Should the Finance and Audit departments come and explain these matters?
3............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I’m not sure whether the person was the big boss or the chairman, but more than ten years ago, they came to Cheng Shiu University’s Department of Industrial Management to teach classes. They even paid for tour buses to take students to visit the company, and said that Cheng Shiu students were very outstanding and that they really liked hiring Cheng Shiu graduates. There are also a lot of outstanding Cheng Shiu alumni working at the company. Looking at it now, it’s probably a good thing that I didn’t actually go work for this company after graduating…
Damn! I only stayed at this company for a few days before leaving. The overtime pay wasn’t calculated according to the new law, and I was even charged NT$600 for the few lunches I ate at the end of the month. What was that, a lavish employee feast? One meal cost over NT$100—it was simply ripping people off!!
I spent several months at X De last year, and more than a dozen people who joined the company the same month as I did have all resigned one after another. I advise anyone considering applying to first ask HR about the turnover rate.
During an interview with a certain magazine, an interviewee from the company reportedly stated bluntly that he did not care whether the company could operate sustainably. Therefore, the company’s approach to managing employees is not surprising. For example, employees are not allowed to go out for lunch at noon and are required to participate in the lunch program, with the meal cost deducted from their salaries. However, the main dish provided every day consists of fried foods that can be prepared quickly, while the side dishes and vegetables are greasy and heavily salted. The meals merely provide enough food to fill employees’ stomachs so they can continue working, without the slightest consideration of whether long-term consumption of such food might affect their health. Even when employees express dissatisfaction to management, the company responds passively. This example alone reveals a great deal. If you urgently need money for living expenses, you could consider trying it, but if you are looking for a stable and secure workplace, you should definitely think it over carefully.
This company isn’t without its advantages, I suppose. For example, the department I used to work in operated under a so-called responsibility-based system, so everyone "voluntarily" worked overtime until late every day. Because if you submitted an overtime form, would the supervisor actually sign it (would anyone dare submit one for approval? Has one ever been approved)? In the past, there was even a NT$60 meal allowance for overtime, but later they simply canceled it! Although I wasn’t there very long, it did help me develop an efficient and responsible work attitude. X De is really just fantastic!!!!!!! PS. I heard from colleagues who are still employed there that everyone is recently planning to ask the Labor Inspection Office to investigate their working hours after the end of the workday.
Before deciding to join this company, it is recommended that you investigate thoroughly (https://pttread.com/t/m-1486665496-a-2c4). A certain female senior executive not only has problems managing her emotions, but has even extended her influence into nearly every department. The division of responsibilities is unclear. Fortunately, I saw through things within a few days of joining last year and immediately left—better to leave while you can~~~~~
An extremely high turnover rate, no doubt! It’s really outrageous!! I’m a current employee who joined recently, and all three section managers in the neighboring department have left this year. The new hire who just started this week also lasted only a few days before leaving. Especially among those of us who have been here for less than a year, our private greetings are often things like, “Have you found any good news while looking for a better job? Let’s encourage each other!”
