Absolutely no advantages

There are a ton of drawbacks: dust everywhere, poor ventilation, and the pay is not proportional to the work. If you damage company equipment or products, you have to pay for them yourself. You also get criticized for taking even a personal leave day. You work overtime every day—there isn't a single day when you can leave at 5:30 p.m. There is basically no year-end bonus; instead, they use your own unused personal leave to buy it back, and the year-end bonus is less than one week's pay. There are no employee trips, no benefits, and no bonuses for the three major holidays.

8:30–17:30, with a one-hour lunch break; weekends off

Large open space at the entrance, plenty of parking

First, fill out a standard résumé.

[It says that upon confirming employment, you need to provide three 1-inch or 2-inch photos, a seal, and the original passbook for a CTBC account???]

No lunch provided; set meals are available for NT$80–20 (subsidized).

I wanted to see the work environment during the interview. The supervisor joked that it wasn’t clean today and wouldn’t let me see it; apparently, I could only see it on the day I started.

I asked HR to see the work environment because they said I had to sign a confidentiality agreement before entering.

(I had previously worked somewhere that required signing a confidentiality agreement, and they still let me see the workplace. Not allowing this is unacceptable—it concerns my rights.)

At the end, they asked if there was anything I wanted to ask. (There were still other people waiting outside for interviews.)

They replied that there were still other candidates interviewing one after another, and the results would also have to be reviewed..

It has all the typical drawbacks of a generally bad company:

It is a family business (the managers are related to one another or have the same surname). The so-called promotions offer no benefit at all to “outsiders” (whether you can actually get promoted is another matter).

The stated normal working hours end at 17:30, but employees are often required to work overtime until 20:30 (even when there is no rush to fulfill orders).

The on-site rules are all made for “outsiders” to follow. The managers frequently act as both players and referees, and policies often change roughly once every six months, making it difficult to know what is going on.

Overtime pay is provided properly, but whether it is calculated correctly is another matter.

Oh, and taking sick leave at this company results in a NT$1,500 deduction from the perfect-attendance bonus.
