People with anemia should think twice before applying for an operator position, although the interviewer emphasized that the factory’s emissions comply with safety regulations.

As long as you don’t have to keep waiting for materials and don’t make too many demands regarding the working conditions, you’ll be quite happy.
The three holiday bonuses are poor—it's uncertain whether they’ll be given at all:
0.3? 0.5? One month’s salary, or even nothing.
And then they expect you to work yourself to the bone to meet the output target. Ridiculous.
The work at the Pingtung module factory is simple and easy to learn.
Technician, two days on and two days off, night shift: NT$29,000 (take-home pay)
No prospects and no money. I have been employed for two months, and for one of those months, the production lines were almost completely shut down (there were no orders). Everyone on the production lines just pretended to be busy, attending classes while waiting to get paid. It feels like the company could go under at any time... There are no benefits (for the Dragon Boat Festival, you only get NT$500 in PayEasy points after completing three months). The year-end bonus is not paid until June... I heard it is 0.5 months' salary.
The Taipei headquarters has a pretty good environment. Da-Ping-Lin MRT station is right outside, and every day the reception desk sends out an email to help order boxed lunches.
1. The promise made during the interview that there would be a bonus equivalent to half a month's salary for each of the three major holidays was a lie; they couldn't even pay out the year-end bonus.
2. The marketing manager doesn't know the first thing about marketing.
3. As others have said, this company has more managers than employees.
4. The four purchasing staff at the Taipei office—two senior and two junior—act as if they are superior; they often ignore you even when you greet them.
5. The company claims both externally and internally to be a leader in optoelectronics, but it has led to all the employees running away; someone leaves every month.
6. At this company, people with connections survive longer than those without them.
7. The company releases news about making money internally for everyone to see, but negative news such as labor union strikes and falling stock prices is covered up, creating a hypnotic atmosphere of an extreme echo chamber.
8. The company doesn't pay bonuses to lower-level employees, but people connected to the chairman or those who know how to flatter their superiors can get promoted and receive raises. Every month, you can see HR announce who has been promoted (those who were already managers just keep moving up), while people at the bottom remain forever at the lowest level of the caste system. So the company withholding bonuses doesn't hurt the people at the top at all, because their base salaries are already more than enough.
The company’s exterior is very attractive.
The people are also quite friendly!
I applied for a technician position.
I waited for about 10 minutes before HR came to ask whether I was applying for the technician position.
I said yes!
Then they gave me a résumé to fill out, followed by a test.
It covered English and math, although I really couldn’t do the math problems...
So I just filled it out randomly. Later, I saw that I scored only 60 points... barely passing.
After that, I waited for the manager interview. Following the interview, the manager said they would give my résumé to their supervisor to review.
They said they would notify me if I was hired, at the latest by this Friday—that is, within the next two days.
However, I still don’t know whether I’ll be hired!!
Provides a very beautiful vision... but in practice...
There are almost more officers than soldiers... you can imagine the soldiers' workload...
Too many deadweight employees who only suppress productivity and order those below them to work; there is no discernible system for performance evaluations or promotions.
Work is distributed unevenly: some people juggle multiple roles, while others have it extremely easy.
