This page collects workplace experiences, questions and discussions submitted by users. Dates shown are submission dates, not periods of employment. Individual reports do not describe the entire company.
Read the community guidelines1. If you have relevant industry work experience, you can expect to negotiate a satisfactory monthly salary, and the year-end bonus is decent.
2. The interview managers were very friendly and asked insightful questions. They seemed open-minded and were all quite young.
3. The company office is located beside Tiding Boulevard. It is fairly modern and close to Miramar. There is a bus stop outside, and an MRT station is not far away.
4. The office is very comfortable. There seem to be many attractive women, and it feels like many young people work here.
5. Unlike other traditional manufacturing companies that combine their factory and office operations, the sales office is located in Neihu. Production is carried out in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and other locations.
6. The interview process was straightforward and efficient (many traditional manufacturing companies split the interview into several rounds scheduled on different days...).
7. Making gloves seems like a stable business that is unlikely to go under.
The bonus system is unclear and is still being developed; there probably are no bonuses for the three major holidays. Based on other people’s reviews, if the company makes a profit every year but does not share any of it with employees, how can it retain them? No matter how good the environment and colleagues are, if you work for the company over the long term without receiving better compensation or enjoying the fruits of your efforts, I personally feel that it would not be suitable for long-term development under these circumstances.
If you live nearby, do not have financial pressure, and are not the primary breadwinner in your household (e.g., a married woman?), it should be a good fit.

HR conducts a phone screening first and doesn’t let the interviewee speak—the really frustrating part.

To everyone who found this page through a search:
Because the company information on Tianyancha is no longer maintained or updated, here is an update on this company’s information.
It is normal that the 104 link is invalid. Searching with this company’s Unified Business Number will only find a dissolved company called Ke Bao Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.
This company ceased operations in 2018 and was replaced by the Taiwan Branch of British Virgin Islands Merchants He Bao Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., which continues to operate. Everyone merely signed new contracts.
As for why it was changed this way, anyone involved in international trade should understand the point once they see “British Virgin Islands.”
The factory in Taiwan is called Jin Chang Rong International Co., Ltd. You can find it by searching on a map; it is also the address previously registered by Ke Bao Medical Equipment.
The company’s best-known brand in Taiwan is currently “MedPartner.”
The posts previously shared by many senior colleagues, as well as the information on 面試趣 and 比薪水, are extremely close to the actual situation.
There is still much more gossip about this company that could be shared. I’ll leave it to those who come later to expose it gradually.
Sexual harassment; supervisors do not take it seriously. Can deal with female colleagues you like
A word of advice to job seekers:
Unless you are completely out of options!
Only come here for an interview or to take a job when you have no choice even with fringe industries, the gambling industry, or shady organizations ...
Learn how to insult people
Don't come here to suffer! Life is beautiful.
Every year after the Lunar New Year, a bunch of people leave~
Report it to management .... and nothing changes
They just continue deceiving people into joining
When something goes wrong, everyone shifts the blame
If you work here, it is recommended that you record and keep evidence of your supervisor's instructions, meetings of all sizes
and even conversations when visiting clients.....
For the purpose of providing evidence later
The office location is good, and the environment is bright.
The HR questions were unprofessional and seemed intended to make things difficult.
1. The office environment is pretty good: bright, comfortable, clean, and the equipment is fairly new.
2. The pantry has an Italian espresso machine and Starbucks coffee beans, so you can drink as much as you like.
3. The holiday vouchers and gifts are fairly generous.
4. Most colleagues get along well, and the atmosphere is harmonious.
5. The boss and his wife are kind and clear-headed people, and they are actually quite down-to-earth.
6. Flexible start and end times, with little overtime.
7. The number of free interbank transfers for payroll accounts is fairly generous.
1. There are too many bizarre managers. There is the brainless bootlicking type, the type who needs an audience, the all-talk-and-no-action type, and the all-in-one type: an unscrupulous, unqualified, narrow-minded Chihuahua.
2. There are relatively few people in the organization who bring their brains to work. A group of the managers mentioned above can make simple things extremely complicated and still fail to solve the problem.
3. There is a great deal of paperwork, procedures, and miscellaneous work. The division of responsibilities among departments is also unclear, so the sales team has to do everything. People who like handling everything from beginning to end may want to consider joining.
4. In this company’s sales department, developing clients is treated as a sin. Other departments only make you feel like it is your fault for taking orders. After bringing in new clients, you are still criticized: Why did the client place so many orders? Why did the client order by fax? Then they give you a NT$500 development bonus. You might as well go work for a political party or as a paid campaign walker.
5. After enduring all of this, you still get criticized by your manager for complaining too much, not going out to develop clients, and lacking initiative. She always says, “Don’t just complain—write down the problems.” When I actually did, she did not read them. Then she kept repeating that the problems needed to be written down. This routine played out three times before I resigned.
6. The manager has no strategy, no sense of responsibility, and no ethics. At the slightest disagreement, she gets confrontational; whenever things do not go her way, she makes threats. She communicates this way with clients, distributors, and employees alike. The worst part is that after making threats, she cannot back down gracefully, so she ends up offending everyone. When something goes wrong, she shifts the blame and responsibility onto former employees. She probably thinks that dead people cannot talk, so I’ll say it here~ She threatened a distributor that she would take back its territory. As a result, the distributor was extremely close with the end customers, and together they boycotted the company, effectively blacklisting it. After realizing that things were going badly, she went to the distributor and pretended nothing had happened, laughing and joking, then returned to the company and reported to the boss that my negotiation skills were poor.
7. To add to the above, the manager’s favorite tactic is to provoke and threaten people, then dump the mess on subordinate employees to clean up after she has angered a client or distributor. I have to admire her ability to infuriate people—it is truly first-rate! The kind of management style you have determines the kind of people who stay; her current favorites just happen to be cut from the same cloth as her.
8. Anyone who can stay under this manager is probably someone who survived by weeding out the strong and retaining the weak. People say that the arrogant do not remain down-and-out for long, so let’s sit back and see how long they can keep doing well. Wishing them booming business~
To reiterate, I am not saying that Hebao Company is truly terrible. You get paid for what you do, and if you adjust your mindset and think about it, Hebao Company’s advantages actually make it fairly comfortable and stable. It is just that, in this department and environment, you really should pass. It is not as though I am so desperate for a job that I need to listen to two Chihuahuas bark every day and then clean up after them.
The bathrooms and office are clean and attractive.
Colleagues help one another heat up lunch boxes at noon.
If you find colleagues who share your interests, the work can be fairly enjoyable.
-Many of the problems typical of traditional businesses still exist. Since the company is run by the second or third generation, compared with professional managers, they have less understanding of business operations and management. They inherited the business rather than starting from scratch, so it is understandable that they may carry themselves with the airs and concern for face of a big boss and his wife. The owner’s family all use luxury cars for transportation. In principle, whatever the boss says goes. Communication is extremely difficult, and it is hard to persuade or discuss anything. Moreover, regardless of the department, you can feel that those in power have an extremely strong desire for control, so unprofessional decisions are often made, leaving department heads and colleagues feeling that their expertise is not respected. Result: Neither senior nor new employees can be retained. A large number of people have left in the past two years—10 to 20 within six months, without exaggeration. This is supposedly a 40-year-old company, yet there are fewer than five senior employees who have stayed, excluding the owner, the owner’s wife, the owner’s children, and directors. None has been there for more than eight years. You can judge for yourselves what causes the company’s inability to retain people; the high turnover rate has its reasons.
-Those in higher positions hold excessive power, causing many senior managers to be unable to make decisions themselves. They have few conditions they can negotiate for frontline or lower-level employees, and spend every day walking on eggshells simply to please the boss and his wife. This has resulted in managers being unable to develop their own positions or ideas.
-The sales department has long overtime hours. Reports are prepared every week, and meetings focus only on presenting numerical reports. Everyone says flattering things in front of the boss. There are far too many meaningless meetings, and communication is often inefficient.
-Some departments have few promotion opportunities (apart from sales, perhaps?). Some people remain assistants even after three years. Seeking a promotion is useless, yet they are expected to take on the responsibilities required of an assistant, while their salaries do not increase.
-Because the pandemic has eased, the company’s business has declined significantly. As a result, gifts are now given for the three major holidays instead of bonuses. The year-end bonus was cut in half. Last year, the company even deliberately imitated “a certain semiconductor company that protects the country” by paying the year-end bonus in two installments (renaming them the year-end and mid-year bonuses). Starting this year, the year-end bonus has clearly shrunk. If you are considering entering this industry, I suggest assessing the industry’s trends and market momentum; otherwise, your income and job security will sooner or later be at risk.
-The products are more expensive than those of many competitors on the market, making them less competitive in Taiwan.
-The company needs sales performance but is unwilling to invest budget in marketing or promotion, leaving the sales team in a miserable state.
-Sales bonuses are paid inconsistently, creating a situation in which even highly successful salespeople cannot stay.
-Senior management lacks professional expertise but still interferes in the company’s internal affairs and sales, forcing the sales, marketing, human resources, information technology, finance and accounting, audit, general affairs, and other departments—nearly every department—to spend ten times the effort preparing reports to persuade senior management and explain things to them.
-The packaging design can never be finalized. Time is spent revising the packaging all day, without consistent standards, leaving nearly every department exhausted, including sales, design, and the warehouse.
-The company’s personnel management system is chaotic and lacks structure. There are many loopholes and unreasonable aspects in the personnel evaluation criteria, flexible work-hour policy, benefits system, overtime system, and so on. (It is impossible to elaborate here; if you do not believe it, you can join the company and experience it for yourself.)
In addition, I have seen that another company on this platform filed a lawsuit against an anonymous poster. I would simply like to say that if you do not want people to know, do not do it. If someone makes many similar accusations, the company should improve and develop in a positive direction rather than resorting to legal action on a large scale. Doing so only makes it look as though there is something to hide. The above sharing is indeed based on my personal experience and is absolutely not defamatory.
I also recall seeing other colleagues share their impressions of the company on this platform, only for their posts to mysteriously disappear. I am not sure what caused this, and I hope it was not the company having them taken down through the platform administrators. How can we help improve Taiwan’s workplace environment this way? I urge the company to engage in more self-reflection and continuous improvement so that it does not run counter to the current promotion of ESG.

1. Based on my personal experience, I would advise everyone not to come to this company, because there are definitely better choices than this place.
2. There are quite a few good colleagues here, but there are also many who are scheming. In addition, the office politics at this company are very serious, and the people at the top put on an arrogant attitude...
3. Job responsibilities are not clearly defined. Newcomers are ordered around like assistants as soon as they join. This is what I observed, and it is completely different from what was said during the interview. They also make things difficult for newcomers. It is truly frightening.
1. A very frightening company. Newcomers are inevitably placed under the surveillance of the owner’s wife for a year. The company is full of spies, and every move is monitored.
2. Agreed-upon bonuses are repeatedly changed. The boss is afraid that employees might receive too much bonus pay. The husband and wife own several luxury cars, yet they haggle over every penny with employees! The company is registered offshore, while the Taiwan company is nominally held by an old retainer who is a lapdog. If anything happens, the boss does not have to take responsibility; the lapdog only wags its tail and understands nothing!
3. The company loves meetings and ceremony. Despite being a small company, it creates a huge pile of reports and forms, annual meetings, and budget meetings—enough to drive people crazy. The boss is merely a second-generation successor who drove all his siblings away, insists on personally handling everything, and even inspects employees’ desks after work to see whether they have been cleaned. The boss’s wife is a weirdo who is always coming up with bizarre ideas, causing company policies to change constantly.
4. The company blatantly disregards the Labor Standards Act. The boss likes to message managers or employees late at night and on holidays, pressuring them to respond. The entire company has no culture or passion; the sales team works hard because of the bonuses. Everyone capable has left, and those who wanted to learn have also been scared away. Under no circumstances should you risk your heart and liver here.
There aren’t any pros left… do I still have to list the cons?
I am the moderator of the second post.
The content of the second post was written from what my friends, colleagues, and I saw and heard, while maintaining an objective and impartial perspective. These are only the tip of the iceberg; I may share more later if there is interest. It is impossible for a company to have no gossip or negative reviews, but it certainly has its strengths. Below is my response to the opinions that caused such a strong backlash regarding the second post.
*Afternoon tea: My personal view of the company’s afternoon tea is that you have to listen to the speech before you can start eating, and by the time you get the food in your hands, it is already cold by the time it reaches your mouth. It is dispensable.
*Overtime meals: I am personally more interested in overtime pay. Money can buy cars and clothes, pay off loans, raise children, and show filial respect to parents. What can a boxed meal do????
Taking the above two points together, it depends on each individual’s level of acceptance. A company with benefits like these is still pretty good.
Regarding Floor 12 and below of the second post, judging from these replies, you must hold a position of considerable power and influence in this company. Why not share your personal views as well?
a. Sales bonuses: Perhaps my meaning was misunderstood, or perhaps we misunderstood the company’s meaning. Are sales bonuses extra rewards for employees?? Logically speaking, people who apply for sales positions generally share one trait: “they love money.” If you do not love money, why work in sales? You could just be a sales assistant. People work in sales not only for the base salary, but also for the bonuses!! The company even held a special meeting to explain the calculation and allocation of sales bonuses. You mentioned, “Would the company give sales employees fewer bonuses if they did not resign?” Can we understand that as retaliation against employees who resign? And it is not that they give less—they give not a single penny. Salespeople who care about bonuses should require them to be specified in the contract during the interview or upon reporting for work; otherwise, you either have to swallow your losses in silence or never resign (if you really care about these few thousand or ten thousand dollars).
b. Bonus payments: As mentioned in the previous post, HR said bonuses would begin being paid after three months. Please change your wording. In reality, this current employee also confirmed that it is after six months!!
c. Overtime pay: Look at the company’s Labor Standards Act records. It is a fact that the company was reported for excessive overtime hours. Why the case could not be successfully pursued is not the point; the absence of overtime pay is also a fact. Wasn’t Taiwan’s working environment built by companies that exploit their employees, especially those extremely profitable companies……
d. Reports: No matter which company you work for, preparing reports is certainly necessary and required. But reports should be prepared appropriately and in moderation. Judging from this particular reply, you clearly have never prepared a sales report for this company, hehe...
e. Company activities: I must agree with what you said on this point, but requiring employees to dress up without providing a subsidy can easily make people misunderstand that the year-end banquet is not to reward employees, but to entertain the boss’s family. It also turns into unhealthy competition between departments. Why can’t we just dress normally and come eat? We are already so busy, yet we have to spend time dressing up and cannot let our department lose face. Eating a meal becomes very stressful, the prizes are all gift vouchers… and it is held on a Thursday... You can tell from the first bite that the food is the cheapest available… Ah, I’m getting off topic.
f. Hardware and software: You answered my question—the company only replaces things when they become unusable!
(1) Monthly bonuses: Based on what I know, have seen, heard, and experienced in past jobs, I have yet to work for a company where sales positions do not receive monthly bonuses. If the bonus is not monthly, I personally would not choose this company. If you do not love money in sales, what are you doing? What I am curious about is: Are there still companies that pay sales bonuses quarterly?
(2) The matter of overtime: I 100% agree with you that people who frequently work overtime may have an efficiency problem. The U.S. and Japan departments in particular should take note: from supervisors to sales staff, when the workday ends, remember to shut down your computers first, okay? If you do more, people may misunderstand that there is something wrong with your abilities, okay?
(3) I agree with you even more—200%. Here, both those who do not want to learn and those who do want to learn can grow in a short period of time. This company could be called my second-to-last boyfriend. When people leave this company and change jobs, their market value is guaranteed to double. Why? Because other companies are very willing to pay you the salary this company will not! Why will this company not pay you? Because there is always another you; they can simply recruit and train someone else. Anyway, that is the department manager’s problem.
That is why the number of people resigning within one year has reached a record high—more than 10 people (and still rising). The company cannot retain young talent and does not intend to.
Seeing everyone fight to the death over the second post, I hope everyone can view this platform fairly, rationally, and objectively. Whether you are a current or former employee, or a company shill, everyone is welcome to share everything about their experiences at the company. Everyone has different views and feelings. We are all highly educated and cultured people, so please do not argue. We do not want to become the bad guys either, thank you.
1. The restrooms are separate and very clean; the office restrooms are cleaned by a staff member every day. The pantry is separate and convenient, the office environment is good, and the desks are spacious.
2. For university graduates who are just entering the workforce, the salary this company offers is average. It is recommended to stay for two years and then change jobs. It is suitable as a stepping-stone company and looks good on a résumé.
3. Develops stress tolerance, patience, and the ability to roll your eyes.
1. The salary is too low, so it is not suitable as a long-term career. Young salespeople definitely will not stay long; the salespeople who remain here are mostly older (over 31).
2. During a sales interview, make sure to check whether the bonuses are written into the contract. HR will say that you start receiving monthly bonuses after three months, but in fact it is six months: after the three-month probation period, you only receive the bonuses after another three months of formal employment. In addition, you will not receive that month's bonus after resigning, because the owner's wife controls the money and saves wherever possible. The contract also does not clearly specify this, so there is 100% no way to recover the money. A friend of mine worked at this company and resigned during the month; they could not receive more than NT$10,000—two months' worth of bonuses—and could not successfully sue either, because there was nothing in writing.
3. There is absolutely no overtime pay. The system has an overtime application, but historically no one has ever applied; if you do apply, you will not be seen the next day—thank you very much. Several former employees who resigned have sued, but none of the lawsuits succeeded.
4. Salespeople have to prepare an enormous number of reports, which is extremely time-consuming. They are only for the boss to look at and do not help performance, but the boss likes reading them, so there is nothing you can do.
5. Year-end banquet: Any prizes worth more than NT$20,000 are gift certificates, and the top prize is only NT$30,000 (also in gift certificates). A company with annual revenue exceeding NT$10 billion... haha... Every year at the banquet, the owner's wife's favorite program is watching employees dress up as clowns, organize activities, perform, and so on, with all kinds of speechless themes. Because she saves wherever possible, having this employee come is enough.
5. Outdated hardware and software: because the company saves wherever possible. Updating is expensive, and replacing things costs money!
I hope everyone can still bravely apply after reading the above shortcomings. Good luck!
1. The company is bright and comfortable, with strong air conditioning.
2. HR first provides a basic information form to fill out. After it is completed, you are asked to take a simple test and do an email translation exercise from English to Chinese and Chinese to English (for an overseas sales position).
3. HR then conducts the interview. They are very friendly and polite, and had reviewed my résumé beforehand, so they generally understood my previous work background. Salary was also mentioned, but there was not much discussion. They originally intended to arrange an interview directly with the sales manager, but because the sales manager was in a meeting, they had to apologize and ask me to leave, saying they would arrange a time for a second interview.
4. They later called to arrange a time for the second interview, but due to personal considerations, I did not attend.
Overall, the interview experience was comfortable and respectful. The company also appears to be fairly large. Those interested in developing their career in this area may want to give it a try.

I went for an interview in mid-February. We talked for a long time and it was very pleasant; they answered almost every question.
They said the HR manager would conduct the final interview, but the date kept getting postponed... I couldn't be bothered to ask again.
