RD who has been at the company for nearly three years
1. The adoption and promotion of AI tools is relatively fast, and subsidies are also provided.
2. The RD manager is a good person and is skilled at managing upward.
3. The colleagues on the RD team are also nice.
4. For beginners, it is a great place to hone their technical skills.
5. A flat organizational structure with smooth communication; major issues can be discussed with the boss.
6. There is a technical sharing session every week.
1. Because the salary range is limited, most colleagues have relatively short tenures and less work experience.
2. It is a place where people with strong upward-management skills or some prior professional experience tend to have an advantage when changing jobs.
3. The PM team generally lacks experience and needs guidance from the boss. However, the boss focuses on the big picture, so someone needs to help the PMs keep track of the details.
4. Soft skills for communicating with clients are necessary, so it is not very suitable for people who only want to write code and are unwilling to do anything else.

There were three rounds in total. I heard the work is extremely demanding, with constant overtime, and that the company has violated the Labor Standards Act multiple times.
During the first round, we discussed salary expectations. I asked for nothing more than the standard market rate appropriate for my years of experience, but HR replied that they couldn’t offer such a high salary. Yet, near the end of the interview, they still proactively scheduled the second-round interview and mentioned a time slot they wanted me to reserve for an in-person third-round interview. What kind of company is this? They really seem to think the whole world revolves around them.
A pitiful company, with a laughable salary and interviews at the level of a tech-industry giant. Its capital is only NT$5 million and it has just 25 employees—if I took off my glasses, I might have thought I was interviewing with Google.
The people in the company are all good people as long as you have no conflicting interests with them.
The boss only wants to turn everything into AI; they don't care what individuals can learn.
Work assignments are decided by the boss. Resigning is the only effective means of communication.
The boss and the managers below them conduct ideological screening. As long as your work philosophy differs from theirs, they will use various methods to pressure you into resigning voluntarily.
Some managers read employees' LINE messages. As soon as they discover criticism of the company's current situation, they become emotionally explosive.
Most importantly,
Recently, they have also started manipulating various online reviews about interviews and work at the company.
If you really have to talk about the advantages, the only thing you can say is that working at this company lets you hone your ability to endure exploitation. You can check the Labor Law Violations Business Entity Search System.
This company only takes on projects to build official websites. Its core technology is UI slicing, and the slicing engineers (all career changers) are also considered the least valuable—and lowest-paid—employees here. In other words, if you are an experienced and capable engineer, whether frontend or backend, this place will absolutely waste your time. Apart from slicing, you only do scattered tasks such as adjusting parameters for system setups. Because of the nature of this company, the vast majority of employees are “miscellaneous recruits” or career changers, so your colleagues’ abilities will not help you improve.
The boss is a typical exploitative employer who makes all decisions unilaterally. Whenever he speaks, everyone below him lowers their heads and says, “Yes, yes, yes.” If you want to be a good employee, you need to be very good at reading the boss’s mind,
Hmmmmm
Even this year, the situation has not improved much. I especially identify with the second point; despite working hard in such an environment, it still leaves me feeling a diminished sense of self-worth.
During design discussions, I felt more pressure than teamwork. After leaving this company and joining a new one, I deeply realized how valuable open design discussions are. Unfortunately, they were not put into practice at my former company.
Overall, I would recommend that beginner designers join to learn and understand the development and design process in a short period of time, but they should be mentally prepared for overtime and managers with strong subjective opinions.
1. Cultivates self-discipline and trains your patience
2. After leaving, you’ll appreciate how beautiful the world is and how long the evenings after work can be
1. Overtime is the norm. Working until the end of time is considered expected, and you won’t receive overtime pay. Leaving work on time may attract sarcastic remarks, or you may be assigned even more work afterward so that you can’t leave on time.
2. There is constant scolding every day. The boss is emotionally volatile; if you don’t cater to the boss, you’ll be disliked, while catering to the boss will turn you into a puppet and make you lose your ability to think and make judgments.
3. The PM role here is very different from what people generally understand a PM should do. The strongest skills are forwarding emails and turning around to berate assistants. The role involves none of the abilities it should require: unreasonable requests aren’t blocked, and you shouldn’t expect to have any strong teammates. If you aren’t driven to the brink and reduced to an overtime hell, you should thank your lucky stars.
4. Every project is in its honeymoon phase when you first take it on, but it often ends badly. Crisis management is extremely poor, and every mistake is blamed on the client.
5. Here, you may suffer physically, emotionally, or both.
Train your patience.
1. Don’t expect overtime pay, because the boss thinks working overtime is simply expected. Sometimes, working overtime on holidays is also part of the daily routine.
2. The boss’s word is absolute and cannot be questioned. You aren’t allowed to have any ideas of your own. If you do have ideas… hehe.
3. It’s impossible to tell the difference between having a PM and not having one. The PMs at this company are merely decorative.
4. Fresh graduates entering the workforce will only be exploited. If you make it through, you’ll grow a lot; if you don’t, your values may become…
5. This company will constantly brainwash you into believing that every mistake is the employees’ fault and never the supervisors’ fault, even though the decisions are often made by the supervisors or the boss.
6. You may feel guilty, but remember that this is normal, because people in management fundamentally have no conscience, and they will also brainwash you into believing that what you’re doing is right.
Transportation is fairly convenient, and the office is very new.
They had the interviewee travel a long way to talk for half an hour, then dismissed them. If they thought the applicant was unsuitable, they shouldn't have invited them in the first place. It wasted the applicant's time and transportation expenses. Beginners can probably rule out this company.
The employee turnover is very high, and they are constantly hiring.
1. The actual job duties are different from what was discussed during the initial application and interview. Every day, you simply do whatever you are told to do.
2. There is no overtime pay, and pressuring everyone to work overtime is the norm (weekday evenings and holidays).
3. The PM has no concept of project management and often makes mistakes without considering how to improve. Everyone can only keep working overtime to redo the work.
4. Basically, the company is run as a one-person show. Asking you to offer suggestions is just for show—be careful, as they may use them against you later...
Broadening one's horizons
The company policies are unclear... The manager seems like a nice person... but you don't know what your work is supposed to be every day... Suggestions for the company may be used against you and mocked, so be careful....xD
The management team treats colleagues from other departments like cram school teachers treat their students..... PMs basically only serve to forward emails.... Everyone else can only work overtime desperately to protect themselves....... and is still treated as though they should
I heard lunch is provided
HR is very slow,
You have to wait a long time for an interview with the boss
Can cultivate one's character and nourish one's nature.
I interviewed with more than 20 companies, and this company had the worst attitude during the interview.
1. The boss... hehe
2. Overtime is considered only natural.
