1. Colleagues are fairly easy to get along with

2. No dress code

3. The office is quite nice

1. Family-owned business. The family members are the ones who have normal workloads and high salaries.

2. Overtime is the norm. If you do not regularly work overtime, you will be considered to have too little work and to be unprofessional, and more work will continually be assigned to you.

3. There is strong pressure to work overtime on holidays and participate in activities. If everyone is suddenly notified that they must work on a holiday or attend an event but an employee cannot comply, they will be called in for a discussion until they agree to come.

4. When discussing salary, they add the labor and health insurance contributions and labor pension payments covered by the company, then say that the company’s cost for an employee is very high.

5. They particularly like holding meetings half an hour before the end of the workday, 10 minutes before the end of the workday, and during the lunch break. Meetings after work regularly run more than 1–2 hours past the end of the workday, while lunch breaks are entirely taken up by meetings, leaving no time to rest. If you do not leave the company for lunch, the boss and the junior bosses are very likely to assign work and ask about work, showing no respect for employees’ break time. Meetings are also often announced at the last minute; this once caused my family to wait downstairs for 1–2 hours.

6. The boss frequently checks the surveillance cameras and then calls to ask what you are doing.

7. After work, you often receive LINE messages from the boss asking about or assigning work.

8. There are almost no benefits, and the bonuses for the three major holidays and year-end are all very small.

9. Turnover among younger employees is very high.

10. Try not to share too many personal matters with colleagues; company gossip spreads very quickly.

11. Many decisions by the boss and junior bosses have caused the workload to keep increasing, with a lot of rework or work done for nothing. There are almost no clear SOPs to follow.

I strongly recommend looking for another company with proper systems that complies with the Labor Standards Act.

1. If you can calmly face people and things you dislike, this is a very suitable place to retire.

2. It should follow the Labor Standards Act, but I’m not sure about overtime pay because most people don’t apply for it.

3. If you don’t participate in some company activities, the boss may interview the employee and apply subtle pressure. The boss likes seeing everyone getting along harmoniously, as if this were a happy company ^_^ If you have children, it is very suitable to participate in some company activities because scholarships are awarded.

An export-oriented leather materials company. As mentioned on other interview-sharing platforms, the boss really likes asking about private matters during interviews, such as whether you are dating someone, when you plan to get married, what your family members do (for work), whether you live with your partner, and so on. However, even if the boss doesn’t ask, if you share these things with a colleague you think you are close to, before long almost everyone in the company will know a little about them. I don’t know whether this is because the average age is relatively high or because some people have too much free time, but some colleagues really like making small talk and discussing gossip.

Because it is a family business, some departments have family members placed in them, and the employee turnover among young people in certain departments is relatively high.

It is probably currently in a transitional period of handing the business over to the second generation. Although the successor received an American-style education abroad, they act only according to their whims, and their authority often takes precedence over professional expertise.

Salaries are adjusted according to the Labor Insurance salary brackets. The starting salary is not high, but people the boss takes a liking to should do fairly well and may even receive additional benefits. However, it is difficult for ordinary employees to get a raise. Even if the company may say during the interview when your salary will be adjusted, afterward they may use “I forgot” as an excuse, so you have to bring it up yourself. Usually, the adjustment is only by one or two salary brackets, and after Labor and Health Insurance and labor pension deductions, very little is left. However, they will dismiss you by saying, “The company actually pays more than just these costs on your behalf.”
