Read the community guidelinesEmployed at ADLINK – Customer Care Department (approximately three years)
1. The workspace is fairly open.
2. Coffee and vending machines are available for purchase.
3. The company has an employee welfare committee that organizes various activities and prize draws.
4. Shopping points or movie vouchers are distributed for the Dragon Boat Festival, other holidays, birthdays, and similar occasions.
1. You have to gauge your supervisor’s mood before you can apply for overtime pay.
2. There are often unreasonable instructions from upper management.
3. Asking senior colleagues questions may still earn you an eye roll, and you may not receive the help you need.
4. Managers tend to use emotions to control frontline employees, creating excessive pressure.
5. Even when applying for leave before resigning, the request may be rejected and changed to an application for annual leave.
6. The workload is excessive. Reporting it to the supervisor does not solve the problem; they simply push back by asking why nothing has been resolved.
7. There is no free time for activities during work hours, and you often feel watched. Things discussed casually with colleagues quickly spread...
8. The department culture is not free. You may even be warned that you are being too conspicuous for becoming too friendly with another department (?)
9. Participating in club activities after work may result in a warning that your voice is too loud, along with being told that this is not your home but a company. Even after explaining the reason and pointing out that it was after working hours, I was still warned...
10. The department has a high turnover rate. Even after HR highlighted issues with the management level, the management style still did not improve.
11. Overtime is frequent. Applying for overtime requires prior notice, and you need a justifiable reason for the application to be approved.
If you fail to notify them in advance, your supervisor will call you to your desk the next day to question you..?
The department name is related to C (it changes names frequently)
The work environment is very new
The employee welfare committee regularly organizes team-building activities
Management
1. Arriving late and leaving early
2. Talking loudly in the open-plan office or being away from one’s desk for long periods
3. Spending long periods at work on non-work-related activities; at least 20-something non-work-related webpages were open
4. Family members frequently calling the company to talk about personal matters
5. Betraying subordinates and going back on one’s word
6. Saying a bunch of perfunctory things during performance reviews (such as the obvious reason that performance was poor), and ultimately getting promoted oneself

The HR representative proactively contacted me through 104 to arrange an interview, and quickly replied that they were interested. Then there was complete silence. I later discovered that the position had already been closed. I suggest that Advantech’s HR improve their work efficiency and stop casting their net indiscriminately; it is very disrespectful.

Applicants for hardware R&D positions should beware: you may encounter a pair of people, one claiming to be a department-level manager and the other claiming to be a division-level manager. During the interview, they work together to grill you about what to watch out for with high-speed signals, how to lay out high-speed signals, high-speed signal design guides, and so on. What era are we in that they are still grilling people about this? After working together to grill the interviewee, this is how they mess with people. Many people have encountered this same pair and gone through the same process. Everyone, be careful.

Terrible. During the interview, they said the supervisor would follow up, but there was no news at all. Definitely don't waste your time interviewing....
The company culture is free and open-minded.
There is even less pressure to work overtime.
Basically, many people leave work on time at 6:00 p.m.
By 6:30 p.m., only 20–30% of the people remain.
I think it is great that the company is actively developing innovative areas.
It is a company committed to sustainable operations.
The facilities at Far Eastern Technology Park are somewhat outdated.
There are few meeting rooms, and if you do not book one in advance, you can only hold meetings at the café downstairs.
A major IPC manufacturer, stable.
I interviewed for the position of Linux Test and Validation Engineer.
After the interview, I found that the department does not have a high proportion of Linux testing.
What they need more is project management experience.
The work is fairly straightforward, mainly testing hardware boards.
Hardware testing experience is preferred.
There was no written test or personality assessment.
The interview questions were related to quality assurance at system manufacturers.
After the interview, I felt that I had made the trip for nothing.
The job responsibilities differ from my previous experience.
The work atmosphere in the software department isn’t too bad; it’s tolerable.
The company says that the capsule coffee machine purchased with the employee welfare committee’s funds is a benefit, but the capsules are limited every day and there are never enough. The work computer equipment is very poor, and even replacing the SSD isn’t allowed. Overall, the company is quite stingy, saving small amounts of money everywhere.
