The previous commenter described it very realistically. Simply put, you can get by living a life of doing as little as possible and taking whatever you can, so there’s no need to overthink things. Although it’s supposedly a tech company, in practice it’s really just a traditional industry company. Most of the company’s products belong to other companies; they’re merely repackaged and presented as its own. Don’t work too hard—if you do, everything will pile up on you. The people at the top are busy fighting among their various factions and have no interest in running the company. Those on the second floor have it the best: they do their own thing at work, play mobile games, read online novels, chat, watch livestreams, and browse online shopping sites. It’s a place where you can enjoy life.

The people at the top are all quite incompetent, but everyone is just trying to get by—these are probably the survival skills they’ve learned. Anyway, you can collect a salary whether you do any work or not, so why work?

However, those at the lower levels may need to be somewhat cautious. If you’re capable, you don’t have to worry too much, but if you’re a newcomer fresh out of school, you basically won’t learn much. Or rather, is there even anything to learn? Regardless of the salary, you’ll need to learn how to flatter your supervisor; otherwise, you might learn from certain people to take on outsourced work and do it during office hours. If the salary is acceptable, enjoy your life. If it isn’t, you may want to consider changing jobs, because when another company asks about your work achievements and the skills and systems used at your previous company, it could lead to an indescribable situation.

‧Leave and arrive at work on time

‧Large, quiet, and clean office seating

‧Follows national holidays

‧R&D staff can change teams (but there are conditions... basically, almost no one changes teams)

‧Colleagues are easy to get along with (excluding the people mentioned above)

‧Heavy traffic during commuting hours (it normally takes 10 minutes to get to Songshan Train Station, but it becomes 30 minutes); the workday ends at 6:10, so you will definitely encounter traffic jams

‧Few places to eat nearby, and the hygiene of some establishments is questionable

‧Only nominally divided into teams; people work alone (due to the way work is assigned and insufficient staffing)

‧After changing teams, if there is an issue with a project from the previous team, they look at the “person,” not the “position,” so you will still be contacted about it (e.g., to put out the fire)

Advice for newcomers:

‧Don’t appear to be too capable. The more capable you are, the more work you will be given, with no upper limit

‧When developing new products, only do half of the work; wait for management to urge you before providing the other half, to avoid constantly changing priorities

‧It’s enough if the desired result is achieved; optimization and improvements are just busywork

‧Don’t study the predecessors’ code too seriously—it’s toxic, with lots of bizarre logic

‧Don’t believe too much of what management says, and don’t be fooled by appearances; there is a lot of spin

Basically, the more you do, the more mistakes you make; if you do nothing, you make no mistakes. Knowing how to shift blame and take credit is the way to survive.

The environment is good. Those who consider themselves capable (especially with an undergraduate degree) and want to serve alternative military service (a major plus—considered in terms of loyalty) may join.

At a glance, it seems to be a cautious company.

The interview takes a long time.
