Read the community guidelinesLax management; taking leave is easy
- The company has been continuously downsizing, and its cash flow has been very unstable in recent years
- High employee turnover, yet there is never proper handover, resulting in many information gaps
- Dishonest with clients
- Even though only a few people remain, everyone is a Director; titles are assigned arbitrarily
- The boss has little direction, and the company has been drifting for years without finding its market positioning
Fake?
1. It is advisable to pay attention to whether information is transparent and whether the company values workers’ rights.
2. Some cultures may not align as well with mainstream values, affecting work methods and experiences; this is worth learning more about. People with backgrounds in gray industries may be more accustomed to this.
3. Some HR roles seem to rely on information asymmetry to take advantage of employees on behalf of the company.
Taking leave is easy to arrange, and there are plenty of days off.
Originally, it was an organization with relatively good management and planning, and its ways of working were also fairly good. After undergoing rapid turnover over the past few years, it has completely gone off track.
It’s really impressive if you can think of any advantages.
What company would have its employees work in an office that looks like a construction site in the first place?? If the entire office is going to be relocated, is it really that difficult to ensure everything is fully handed over first?
Beautiful scenery, and most colleagues are young and easy to communicate with.
The management is simply beyond comment. They can't retain people with longer tenure. At least, I've personally seen many people leave, whether from the design team, R&D, or HR. I heard the company seems to be undergoing a transformation, so I don't know whether that's the reason. The veterans leave and are replaced by a new batch of newcomers, and apparently it doesn't matter.
Good environment, friendly colleagues
The senior management has changed countless times, always looking for talent whose education and experience appear impressive, but they are actually mediocre people who only focus on appearances and play petty games.
When they see superficial problems, they want to take a convoluted approach that consumes a great deal of time to solve them. The entire company has become a mishmash. The company’s clear strength is A, but because they do not want to bear the risks of A, they see that others are doing well with B and want to pursue both approaches at once. They then want to assign one or two people to handle it, naively believing they can achieve more with less and create a win-win situation. In the end, a promising hand is played into a complete mess.
Originally, I could still recommend it to fresh graduates as a stepping stone, but now it is difficult to say whether it still qualifies as one.

They reached out to me proactively. At the beginning, they asked me to fill out a test, but it was unrelated to the professional requirements—a form-like questionnaire asking for basic information. Then they asked me to complete a project. After I finished it, they went silent without any explanation. It really left me feeling very negatively. I completed the project, and after reviewing it, they said nothing and simply ghosted me.
The executives each draw high salaries, bullshit the investors, and enjoy an easy life. When something goes wrong, they shift the blame and get off scot-free.

I took on an outsourced app development project from their company. At first, they said they had just formed an app team and hoped that we could upload code to Git as we worked. However, after the first item was completed, they said they wanted to change the outsourcing scope. The requirements were reduced to two-thirds, while they left you with the relatively difficult pages, but cut the payment directly to one-third.
Later, we couldn’t reach an agreement and I declined the project. Some time afterward, I checked Git again and found that the first requirement we had completed had been used directly. I asked them to delete it several times. Each time, they agreed to delete it from the cloud, but when I checked again later, I found that the code had been uploaded to the cloud once more. After going back and forth three or four times, I was exhausted.
The key point is that they provided no deposit and did not pay for that code. I hope everyone will think twice, whether taking a job or accepting outsourced work.
P.S. Communication with the party requesting the work was quite difficult... Whenever I had a question and wanted to ask their RD or PM, it often took two or three days for someone to respond to a single question.
Good environment, American-style.
Long hours and a lot of stress. The manager is something else..... Really think it over before joining.
The office environment and facilities are excellent.
The work policies change from one day to the next, leaving people confused. Policies that were originally considered benefits are also gradually being restricted and revised.
The professional abilities of certain new managers are questionable, making it feel strongly that their abilities are very mismatched with their positions. They even seem to enjoy playing power games, repeatedly “emphasizing” the so-called probationary period in order to “control” employees.
The company is very clean, with flexible working hours.
The systems are outdated, and senior management lacks leadership skills.
The lounge area is nice, and the hardware is good too.
The chairs are quite comfortable, everything is very tidy, and it is a well-presented office.
The centralized management system is not very suitable for today’s flat organizational structure.
Team spirit is relatively low, and disagreements are often handled by avoidance; this needs improvement.
The product development process is relatively outdated and follows a waterfall development model.
The senior managers in each department do not seem to have professional expertise and need to improve.
Convenient transportation
It’s also convenient to get lunch at noon, and the break is relatively long
The office equipment is clean and the space is large
The computers use Mac
The company has a high turnover rate
The policies change every day (it’s already impossible to tell what the current rules are)
The management has been very problematic recently
Besides constantly rushing to meet deadlines at work,
you also have to be careful and watch out for senior staff
Overall, it’s essentially a management style that pretends to be a foreign company but is actually ㄋㄠˇㄘㄢˊ
As long as you're good at flattery, you can happily "pocket" your salary, while upper management "flatters each other" and subordinates tacitly understand one another (after staying long enough, your brain is already "disabled").
A breeding ground for the Peter principle, nurturing redundant and incompetent managers. If you think you're talented and highly capable, coming here will likely either get you killed by incompetents or laughed at 💩. Those who are content to go through the motions and coast until retirement—and HR personnel of the same disposition—should be very welcome to join. Subordinates merely go through the motions and cannot learn new skills. When talented people bring in new technologies and innovations, if they leave the feeble-minded upper management unable to keep up... just proactively pack your bags and go home to open a profile on 104.
The office is very open and spacious
The questions asked by the manager and HR were incredibly stupid—their level of unprofessionalism was off the charts
Most colleagues are friendly
The office is new and clean
The location is fairly convenient
In the early days, there were fewer projects, so it was easier to leave work on time. Later, the company grew and hired quite a few more people, but the number of projects also increased. Working hours depend largely on the project you join.
Also, perhaps because the organization has become more complex while people at various levels continue to come and go, many rules and systems keep changing. They are not very consistent across the company, and there are no consistent ongoing guidelines.
No overtime pay (fixed-responsibility system)
I would suggest that people considering joining try to get several offers first, then compare and think it over.
You must get a visitor badge on the 2nd floor before taking the elevator upstairs. The company is on the top, 29th floor, with a beautiful view.
The HR representative and engineers were very friendly. You could tell it was a very American-style company, and the meeting rooms were transparent. I happened to wear canvas shoes that day and wanted to explain this to HR, but HR said there was no need to mention it and that neither they nor the engineers would mind.
During the interview, the engineer asked many questions about my abilities. You just need to answer honestly about whether you understand them.
The company has flexible working hours, from 9:30 to 6:30. After joining, senior employees will mentor junior employees. You need to estimate your own working hours; if you cannot finish within those hours, you must stay and work overtime. The company operates under a responsibility-based system: if you finish your work early, you can leave early. During my interview, I actually encountered someone leaving early, at around 4:00 p.m.
Just relax and go to the interview. Everyone at the company is very friendly, and it seems they genuinely want to get to know each candidate.
I don't know
Good company environment, American-style culture
Basically, it's a contracting company that takes on all kinds of projects, so the turnover rate is extremely high.
The company itself doesn't have much business know-how,
so working there is very demanding.
