Employee health checkups (none)
Candy and snacks (none)
There may be a spring banquet, which might be the only benefit.
The company’s hygiene and cleanliness are concerning. Drinking the company’s water will give you diarrhea. There is only one restroom, so everyone has to line up and take turns, and the toilet often has inexplicable drops of urine on it.
A devout Christian female employee sows discord by telling new hires about the other employees’ personal matters (directly naming who is very emotional and who does not like socializing). This causes people to become fearful of their coworkers as soon as they join the company. From time to time, she also privately sends religious messages via LINE outside of working hours, which is very off-putting.
I heard there used to be a NT$30-per-person afternoon tea allowance (but it has been discontinued).
The boss upholds a no-overtime policy but loves scheduling meetings right before the end of the workday.
The company does not give keys to non-Christian employees. If you arrive early for work and the person with the key has not arrived yet, you have to stand outside the door waiting until someone with a key opens it.
I really can't think of any.
Poor environment. From the day I joined, they kept saying they would move to a new office, but they still hadn't moved by the time I left. One secretary at the company handles emotions extremely poorly and does things entirely according to their mood. It's fine when they make mistakes, but if others make mistakes, they nail you to the wall. (If you don't know who the secretary is, you can look at the previous reviews below and probably figure it out.)
1. The company is close to an MRT station.
2. Friendly colleagues (excluding Christians)
1. The air conditioning can only be turned on in one unit. The boss says it would consume too much electricity. The office is very stuffy and hot—during the summer, it feels like being in a sauna.
2. The company’s proudly advertised benefit, “Family Day,” is simply giving you 30 dollars every Wednesday to buy a drink. What can you buy for 30 dollars? Two bottles of Mai Hsiang? If the drink costs more than 30 dollars, you have to pay the difference yourself.
3. The prizes in the year-end party games are vouchers for the company’s products, calculated at the regular price rather than the employee price.
4. The boss almost always comes into the office during the lunch break and does not make any effort to be quiet. Upon entering, they slam the door loudly, chew very loudly while eating lunch, and make all kinds of noise.
5. The company claims to provide diverse training, but it only buys online courses for you to watch—roughly two videos a year??
6. Once you join, don’t expect promotion or a raise. Raises are given reluctantly and are minimal. I recommend simply changing jobs.
1. The colleagues are all very nice and help each other.
2. The boss has their own ideas, but is also willing to take suggestions.
3. There is a half-hour flexible start time, the workload is moderate, and overtime is rarely required.
4. The company has plenty of learning resources and strongly encourages learning.
1. The company space is somewhat cramped.
2. There are relatively few food options nearby.
1. Afternoon tea every Wednesday
But the allowance is only NT$30, so you have to pay extra for pretty much any cup of coffee.
2. Diverse training opportunities
After joining, you’ll be assigned all kinds of work. They say it’s to give you a chance to try different things, but once you learn how to do them, it simply increases your workload without any pay raise!
3. Gift vouchers for the three major holidays
Gift vouchers from the company itself, valued at 70% of their original price.
4. Year-end banquet
Company gift vouchers are handed out as well.
There are games, and the prizes are candy and chocolate.
1. Poor ventilation
The boss says they want to help polar bears, so they won’t turn on the air conditioning proactively.
2. Cluttered office
The space is small and packed with merchandise, and there is only one meeting room.
3. The boss’s secretary speaks harshly and sarcastically
She has no logical approach to her work and does not respect professional expertise.
4. No resources provided
You can only look for copyright-free composite materials online, or take the photos yourself in the small meeting room (renting a studio is out of the question).
As a result, there is a limit to what you can produce.
5. Overtime in disguise
It’s very easy to get pulled into a meeting right before the end of the workday.
6. High turnover, except among their own people
Many people have already been replaced in the same position.
1. Everyone in the company is very nice when you first join.
2. Christian company (which may be a good thing for some people).
3. Every week, there is a family day when you can order drinks.
4. Nothing happens if you make a mistake; everyone works together to find a solution.
1. The environment is cramped and dim.
2. The air in the company does not circulate well.
3. Turning on the air conditioning is not considered necessary.
4. Hypocritical.
5. People are not very polite when speaking and do not respect others.
6. They will not give you a raise.
7. There is no logic to how things are done.
9. Unprofessional.
10. The benefits listed on 104 do not match reality.
11. The same position has already gone through 2–3 rounds of replacements, averaging about six months each.
