This page collects workplace experiences, questions and discussions submitted by users. Dates shown are submission dates, not periods of employment. Individual reports do not describe the entire company.
Read the community guidelinesYou can use a company vehicle for business trips. The company vehicles are insured; if you get into an accident and report it to the police, you only need to pay the increased premium resulting from the claim.
The company is close to an MRT station, and no one will rush you out no matter how late you work overtime.
There is a lucky draw at the year-end banquet, although the prizes are getting worse and worse.
A laptop is provided (convenient for monitoring whether sales staff are slacking off).
1. The company does not stock materials and only accepts scheduled orders, resulting in many lost orders; the profit margins on components are set too high.
2. Apart from Murata, there is no second competitive product line in sight.
3. Employees with more than ten years of seniority who have not had a health check cannot take health-check leave; they must use their own leave to get checked, and the subsidy can only be claimed if a specific format is used.
4. Domestic and overseas travel allowances have both been reduced to just 3,000.
5. The summer vacation policy does not really allow employees to take time off in summer; they still have to bring their laptops abroad.
6. There are supervisors who keep trying to take customers from others (and cannot get promoted).
7. The turnover rate among sales staff is quite high.
8. Once you add up the market reports and weekly reports, there is no time left to visit customers.
9. There are no bonuses for the three major festivals; they even try to save money on the employees’ red wine.
10. Welfare committee activities are merely formalities, and accompanying guests must pay their own expenses.
11. The workplace atmosphere is oppressive and gloomy.
12. They love CCing a large number of people on emails.

Every month, when it’s time for the sales meeting, be prepared to have only ten minutes to eat your boxed lunch that day.
You can’t bring a computer to the meeting; you can only sit there spacing out while being questioned about a bunch of things, like in a courtroom. Each salesperson has dozens of clients, and you’re expected to remember all the details about them like a prodigy. You also have to divine when a client will place an order and whether the order volume will increase next month.
You spend all day doing a bunch of useless surveys and writing a bunch of useless reports, so you don’t even need to visit clients anymore.
Reports are just for appeasing people, but be careful—if you submit one late, you’ll be punished.
New office (but this advantage will soon be gone)
There’s nothing wrong with being a family business,
but having a one-person rule where everyone can only obey orders is a major problem.
It’s obvious that the bosses have serious management issues but are unaware of them.
Every mistake is someone else’s fault.
No dissent is allowed.
Otherwise, you’re treated as challenging your supervisor and dismissed.
Performance is getting worse and turnover is getting higher,
yet they only worry about employees taking advantage of the company.
If they don’t reflect soon, becoming a 30-person small company is just a matter of time.

The application process is ridiculously picky about every little thing—it's seriously absurd.
They micromanage everything, big or small, treating you like an elementary school student.
Work here for six months and you'll definitely lose the ability to think for yourself.
Be careful—even making a sound when you yawn can get you criticized.
They may call you at 11 p.m. because they suddenly thought of something.
If you don't answer, they'll ask why you didn't pick up.
After working here for a few months, you'll start questioning your life.
None
Doesn’t pay overtime but still expects everyone to work overtime.
They’ll even bombard you with messages and phone calls on holidays over unnecessary things.
They’ll ask everyone to clock in first because they’re afraid after having been reported before.
Quote 1: Seeing everyone working overtime makes me very happy!
Quote 2: If you leave work so punctually, who will answer the calls after six?
Convenient location
It's been over a year since I left, and looking back now, I feel lucky that I got out.
I don't know how long this review will remain up. The boss will pay to have negative reviews deleted.
However long you stay is how much of your life you'll waste. I won't go into detail.
If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself.
