Read the community guidelinesThe department atmosphere is very good
The boss really only knows how to make grand promises, constantly saying they want to expand globally, but has absolutely no business sense.
They said they wanted to reduce the workload pressure on employees. The company was already making less money, yet it kept hiring people it couldn't afford to retain, and eventually laid off a group of employees…
But afterward, I still saw job openings posted on platforms. It really gives the impression that there is absolutely no intention of improving the business strategy, which leaves a very bad impression.
The business model has serious problems and rarely makes money.
Pros
Flexible working hours
Leave requests are generally approved
Snacks are provided
Cons
1. The boss loves to dream and is also very good at using rhetoric.
2. They are reluctant to offer competitive salaries, there is no year-end bonus, and other performance bonuses are also very opaque.
3. In general, everyone’s work is very miscellaneous—the boss will ask you to do whatever comes to mind. The more capable you are, the more exhausted you will be.
There is insufficient support for employees, and the pay is inadequate, but the demands are high.
Unless you are interested in Amazon, if you are looking to gain experience, I suggest not working here.
Good work atmosphere and free snacks
1. The entire business model is very problematic.
2. The boss often just makes grand promises, but when it comes to actually putting them into practice, pushes the work onto the people below. The grand vision is probably global expansion; every country has been saying for years that they would enter the market. Yet by now, the company has not only gone through a major round of layoffs, but even the Taiwan market seems to be on the verge of collapse.
3. The salary discussed during the interview is one thing, but after joining the company, a different standard is applied.
4. There is no comprehensive training, so many new colleagues cannot keep up with the pace. Asking the boss may not produce any answers either, so you have to ask senior colleagues in other departments. They are not unwilling to help, but even though it has little to do with their own teams, they have to spend a lot of time training new hires. Reporting this to the boss also did not lead to any solution.
The HR person is very nice and has high emotional intelligence.
An American company in name but Taiwanese in essence. The interview includes written tests covering product specification comparisons, Fermi questions, and English summary writing. The co-founder loves telling interviewees about how well the company can expand into markets, and so on, but is unwilling to offer a decent salary. The office is small and cramped. During the interview, they also went out of their way to disparage other cross-border e-commerce companies. Their perspective is really quite narrow; even if I received an offer, I wouldn’t accept it.
