安泰商業銀行股份有限公司

None

1. Poor company policies

2. Low salary

3. Unfair treatment

Located in Taipei 101, with an overall pleasant workspace.

The company determines salary offers based on the compensation at the applicant’s previous company as stated on their résumé, rather than matching the applicant’s work experience with corresponding compensation. If the applicant proceeds to the second round of interviews, they are expected to provide proof of their current salary, indicating that the amount on the résumé matches the amount shown on the salary documentation.

The applicant has previously interviewed with large companies such as technology manufacturers and IT companies, and this was the first time they had heard of salary documentation being required as a reference for determining compensation. The above interview experience is provided for reference~

After the acquisition, benefits are aligned with those of IBF.

They currently hire only inexperienced people, so many documents cannot be written. It is therefore suitable for those looking to coast and pass the time as the client; if you are the vendor, I do not recommend it, because not only can they not write the documents, but more often than not, they cannot even clearly articulate the requirements.

Located in Taipei 101, with a comfortable working environment.

There is a 7-Eleven on the 35th floor, and lunch boxes are provided, so you don’t have to squeeze in with people downstairs.

You can also get a 5% discount at the B1 food court with your employee ID. Taipei 101 Mall is just around the corner for shopping.

The elevators are large, plentiful, and fast. There are six oversized elevators on each floor, and the air conditioning is much better.

During earthquakes, you can enjoy a soft, bouncy feeling, and Taipei 101’s control center immediately broadcasts announcements to every floor.

In short, Taipei 101’s facilities are beyond reproach.

(I suppose all of this is because of Taipei 101.)

The overtime situation is better than at foreign companies.

The salary is much lower than the industry average.

Raises are even less generous.

Promotion is impossible without a system, and departments pass the buck to one another.

You don’t learn much, and meetings are inefficient.

Managers are all very conservative and are best at nitpicking WORD formatting and alignment issues. (The opposite type have all already moved to other companies.)

When year-end performance reviews are conducted, sometimes it isn’t because you performed worse than others, but because the department has to select someone to receive a C rating.

You just have to be sacrificed. (But your manager will specifically explain to you that this is unavoidable.)

The year-end bonus is even lower than the salary.

In short,

if you just want to spend your life waiting for retirement, recuperating, and preparing for exams, you can give Antai a try.

1. Colleagues are easy to get along with

2. If you encounter a good manager, they are willing to provide guidance, making learning interesting

3. With no senior colleagues to ask, you have to find your own solutions, which strengthens your problem-solving skills

Arm

1. There is a shortage of staff, so it is genuinely very busy when work piles up. Overtime must be approved by a supervisor, but usually people quietly return to their desks after clocking out and continue working.

2. The company’s systems are poor. Although there is training, it is not thorough, so the same mistakes continue to be made. The department holds self-study sessions every morning, led by the supervisor, which creates considerable pressure. Everyone is afraid to ask questions, so the sessions do not seem very effective.

3. Salaries are 2–5k lower than at major banks. Turnover is high, and there are often no senior colleagues to ask, so you have to solve problems yourself and seek answers on your own.

RM

1. The bank is small, so large companies do not want to do business with us or open accounts with us. In addition, our products are not attractive, making business development difficult.

2. The performance evaluation has a penalty mechanism: if your performance is below last year’s baseline, points are deducted according to the extent of the shortfall. It feels as though the company simply does not want people to receive bonuses.

3. Employees are expected to be all-rounders and to perform their best in every area.

Pros

1. Colleagues and supervisors are easy to get along with

2. You can go to the 7-Eleven on the 35th floor to buy things at any time

3. After working for 2–3 months (I forgot exactly), you can apply for more than NT$4,000 in welfare benefits

4. There is overtime pay, and if something comes up unexpectedly, taking leave is easy

5. Showing your 101 employee ID card when buying food on B1 gets you a small discount

Other: The view from the 42nd floor is nice. Usually, everyone orders boxed meals or eats nearby, and the meal costs are reasonable.

Cons

1. There is currently a staff shortage, so quite a few people are extremely busy

2. The salary is relatively low

None

1. Extremely poor attitude

2. You have to walk to the first floor to use the restroom

3. When encountering a problem and asking a senior colleague, they reply: “Can’t you go look at an example!”

The 101 environment is pretty good

Information technology position

Salary is below average

The senior manager immediately asked at the beginning whether I was willing to take a pay cut to switch career paths

Guaranteed salary: *13 months + performance bonus, at best 15.5 months (the manager himself was not optimistic)

Overall salary: N-10. Those planning to interview can use this as a reference
