The environment is okay; many reviews have already said it all, so I probably don’t need to elaborate.

Anyway, it’s pretty much the same as what’s on 104. Please switch channels yourself.

The managers got their positions through flattery and sycophancy—or they’re foreigners brought in to serve as managers.

Managers really never know what employees want. It would be one thing if they had no technical skills, but they still have to put on an act as though they’re highly capable and knowledgeable.

I’m confused?! If you don’t know, can’t you just admit it? Is it really that hard to swallow your pride?

When issues come up, the Comms Manager is aggressively okay—especially when dealing with people who don’t understand anything but spend all day complaining to colleagues about how terrible others are at handling things.

How pathetic... This must be a company that is always learning from its mistakes.

If it weren’t for its long history and money to burn, it would have been out of business long ago.

I have no comment on my colleagues, because so many of them left after barely working there. You all know what that means, right?

I’ve heard from friends that the other two branches are pretty good... except for the newly established one, which you’d better avoid for now.

At the less impressive branches, when they can’t find people, they’ll even ask you to take on the undesirable positions. A model example for the industry—great!

I’d better not say too much or I’ll get sued... Those of you still outside, take care!

The first spot by the riverside in Neihu, with a view of planes taking off and landing.

There are showers, vending machines, a snack cabinet, coffee, milk, massage, VR games, and more.

The environment is pretty good. They sometimes hold inspirational courses, yoga classes, and so on.

1. Infighting within the department is really serious.

2. Managers genuinely never know what employees need.

3. The managers’ training is half-baked. For new employees, the training materials are like a heavenly book—impossible to understand. When questions are raised, they are unwilling to provide further explanations.

4. Managers speak in a very sarcastic and cutting manner; they even make snide remarks about other departments during meetings.

5. Some managers’ words and actions are extremely negative.

6. Taiwanese managers appear to offer employees greater flexibility, but in practice there are many restrictions.

7. The company founders in another department left collectively, yet the company made a deliberate and high-profile effort to prohibit employees from discussing the matter.

8. Applying for parental leave is made extremely difficult, and managers will argue with you about it.

9. Senior employees take the lead in bullying new hires who are struggling. Some even continue to make sarcastic remarks after leaving the company.

10. When a department team leader is reprimanded by a manager, they shift the blame onto employees who are being laid off.

11. All I can say is: beautiful on the outside, rotten on the inside.

1. A company with a great environment—snacks, drinks, and coffee are all provided, the views are beautiful, and there are lots of plants in the office, making it look and feel very comfortable.

2. The atmosphere at work is great, and everyone is really nice. There are many international colleagues, so it feels very international XD. Most people also have a great sense of humor.

3. I’ve worked at several other companies, and I genuinely feel that this is the company closest to achieving a real work-life balance. There are 20+ days of annual leave and 7 days of fully paid sick leave—an incredible amount. (I don’t know how I survived when we followed the minimum requirements under Taiwan’s Labor Standards Act XD.) As long as you arrange your work properly, your manager won’t give you a hard time or make you feel psychologically pressured when you take leave. In fact, they encourage everyone to use all their vacation days, so it’s not a case of having benefits you can see but not actually use.

4. The company is also very considerate toward its employees. Because of the pandemic, it responded quickly and announced that everyone could work from home. Any necessary equipment could be requested from the company. When taking equipment home, taxi fares could be reimbursed for safety reasons, so we didn’t need to take public transportation (so nice~). The company also provided an additional pandemic allowance (wow~ so incredibly generous), and the extra cash was genuinely very useful and noticeable.

5. I like the English classes. They bring in foreign teachers, and the classes take place during working hours—how great is that? The fitness classes are pretty good too, although they’re exhausting. The strength-training sessions make you sweat buckets, even though the company has shower facilities where you can freshen up.

6. Anyway, all my friends are envious. They keep asking whether there are any openings, or saying they regret choosing the wrong industry.

7. That’s it—these are my sincere personal thoughts.

If I really had to be picky, it would be that the commute is a little far from home, but the salary and benefits make up for it somewhat.

Also, because there’s so much food and drink, the company often celebrates things by ordering pizza or having group meals. There’s even an ice cream truck in the summer. I’ve gained too much weight, which is very troubling—the once-a-week company fitness class can’t burn off all those calories XD

Other than that, I can’t think of anything else. I personally don’t really relate to some of the comments shared by others and don’t have much of a reaction to them. I think it really depends on each person’s attitude and how they choose to face things.

The dream was okay.

Dreamed that if your previous salary was low, you’re just unlucky and pitiful; HR only looks at your previous payslip.

Dreamed of 12 months of base salary plus a one-month year-end bonus. Anything extra is just a lucky bonus.

Dreamed that business performance was poor, salary increases were suspended, and they might not even pay bonuses.

Dreamed of a manager who was extremely bizarre and a nightmare for other colleagues because they loved arguing, but whom the boss particularly adored.

Dreamed that Taiwanese managers never know what employees want.

Dreamed that there were no systems or procedures: upper management did whatever they wanted, and on the very last day they simply made an announcement—whether you wanted it or not.

All the same—a Taiwanese company. Employees are exploited.

This is purely a Taiwanese-company management style. Don’t be fooled into joining.

The HR department is overbearing: if they tell you to transfer to another company, you transfer—there’s no room for negotiation.

The Taiwanese manager is incompetent. They just let things deteriorate while employees are worked to death, yet they are stingy about providing help. They don’t understand what employees need; they just crush and sink them.

1. Colleagues are very easy to get along with.

2. Communication among colleagues is easy, and there is no scheming.

3. Employee benefits are better than those of general companies. In addition to the benefits listed on 104, there are occasional surprises.

4. The company atmosphere is harmonious.

5. The pace is very fast, making it easy to encounter new things, including switching teams.

1. Information asymmetry.

2. Managers never know what employees want.

3. There is no room for negotiation when the company undergoes reforms. If they want you to switch companies today, you have to switch companies.

4. Employee salaries are unequal. Salaries are negotiated based on those at previous jobs, even though the employees all perform the same work.

5. Foreign managers playing pranks they think are humorous.

6. A multinational company managed in the style of a Taiwanese company, gradually becoming addicted to imitation.

7. Taiwanese managers appear to offer employees greater flexibility, but in reality there are many restrictions.

HR is friendly and articulate

The decor is simple and unpretentious

Million-dollar night views, a great place for a rendezvous

An abundance of snacks and a full selection of drinks

The women smell lovely; the men smell bad

As mentioned in other reviews, proof of salary is required upon joining—truly a local company.

The company’s upper management does whatever it wants, announcing things outright on the very last day. Whether you want to go along with it is up to you.

It’s not to the point of erasing creativity... but a few Taiwanese managers are especially incompetent. I must have dreamed it all.

There’s nothing much to say: I’m pathetic, I love staying here, and I’d better hope no one comes to compete with me for my job, because the work is never-ending～Yay!

Colleagues are great; we make the best of difficult circumstances.

“A lack of respect for professionalism”!

HR takes over management, while the top boss lets it go unchecked.

Taiwanese-style management, with strict monitoring of working hours.

They do not respect technical expertise, suppressing creativity and innovation.

It feels like the MIS department of a traditional manufacturing company, where IT professionals are led by people from outside the field. It is disconnected from actual needs, and trust is lacking.

Only a Taiwanese company would make such a fuss over salary slips or salary certificates.

The HR staff are very nice and respectful.

It has become Taiwanese-business-like, adopting unreasonable Taiwanese company practices.

Applicants are required to provide their previous salary if hired, and must also provide a salary slip or proof of salary upon joining.
