Read the community guidelines1. Basically complies with the Labor Standards Act

3. One and a half hours of lunch break
4. Working hours: 8:30–6:00
5. The maintenance work area is air-conditioned
6. Two days off per week
7. Monthly employee benefits (not necessarily good)
1. A perfect-attendance bonus of NT$1,200 is provided, but you must arrive at the company at 8:20 every day to clock in and listen to the company's morning lecture
2. The salary does not match the salary listed on Slave Bank (Slave Bank: starting at NT$28,000; on-site position; Labor Standards Act basic wage)
3. On average, overtime is required about 2–3 days per week, with an average of 2–3 extra hours per day. Overtime is routine (overtime pay is not necessarily provided)
4. The work is extremely strenuous. There are risks such as air pollution, oil contamination, being sued, and injury, which you must bear yourself
5. The turnover rate is extremely high; there is often a shortage of staff
6. Performance requirements are high
The boss requires all employees to wear suits, and the administrative staff are all cute women.
Drinks are often ordered, and colleagues are also kind enough to order lunch boxes for you.
The company has a very impressive reputation, and the Xinzhuang branch is also very impressive. The only benefit when looking for a job in the automotive industry after leaving.
1. The boss behaves like an auntie and always insists on being economical and practical. They give motivational speeches about making employees work like oxen and horses without contributing anything, while enjoying themselves immensely.
2. Managerial positions require overtime under a responsibility-based system. You have to work overtime every Saturday morning, and preparing tea and water is the bare minimum.
3. The boss really likes wearing suits, and requires administrative staff to do the same, but this is not disclosed during the interview. The company also does not have a budget to provide suits, so be prepared with your formal attire.
4. They do not keep their word. The salary structure discussed during the interview and the performance calculation method after starting work are completely different—the latter is 10% lower. When you try to discuss it with the supervisor, they avoid the subject.
5. Colleagues do not dare talk to one another, fearing that the boss will get angry. You cannot even ask when the company’s administrative procedures are unclear; if you do, you will be scolded and called an idiot.
6. If your work involves managing the company’s social media, remember to have Ah-Xin’s spirit, because the boss requires immediate replies until 10 p.m., and the same applies on weekends.
7. The salary is far below the market rate. They promise you a dream that will never come true, saying you can make it come true at midnight.
You can tell during the interview that you won't want to work for this company.
Had to wait a long time
They really want to know the exact “number” of your salary at your previous job
The compensation published on the job bank was NT$28,000–50,000
But the manager said apprentices only get a little over NT$10,000 according to the regulations
They don't even seem to understand the minimum wage under the Labor Standards Act
(According to Paragraph 1, Article 21 of the Labor Standards Act, although wages may be agreed upon by both the employer and the employee, they may not be lower than the basic wage. As for the basic wage set by the government, the monthly basic wage is NT$24,000.)
The manager conducting the interview seemed as if they had been forced to come
Impatient, yawning, and not even wearing a mask
They talked in circles without getting to the point
I was supposed to be interviewing, but ended up listening to the manager talk about their own experiences
It turned into a reverse-interview situation
1. Most colleagues are kind and easy to get along with, and they help and support one another.
2. Convenient transportation; it’s a three-minute walk from the MRT station exit.
1. The company’s system is basically that there is no system…
2. Employees are expected to be all-rounders and support other roles at the same time because turnover is extremely high, and vacant positions often aren’t filled.
3. Managers often want meticulous, highly detailed analytical data. Having purchase requests, reimbursement requests, and loan disbursement requests rejected is commonplace.
4. Managers explicitly tell employees that if they cannot adapt to the company environment, they can leave on their own.
5. There are always many senior consultants who are parachuted in to become high-level executives.
6. To evade the Labor Standards Act and labor inspections, the company often turns a blind eye to reality.
