天方科技實業股份有限公司

1. Newcomers can hone their skills. If you are willing to work and learn, you can build a solid foundation.

2. Colleagues are friendly.

3. You get paid for the training during the first month (24K).

1. Low pay: after being assigned to a unit, the salary is 26K for the first six months, then it becomes 30K, with a 5% annual raise.

2. As mentioned above, the company uses a low-price strategy when bidding for contracts. When launching a new project, even the CEO does not dare to set a high price, resulting in less revenue and therefore lower employee salaries.

3. There are piles of projects, yet the company does not hire newcomers while aggressively taking on new contracts. As a result, old projects cannot be completed or collected on, and then new projects are dumped on you.

4. The CEO arbitrarily cuts work hours and then assigns other projects to you.

5. Every year, the company claims to be operating at a loss and plays the victim. In previous years, the year-end bonus was only one month’s salary; this year, they simply did not pay it.

6. The company does not respect talent. The CEO wants obedient employees. You can voice your opinions, but he will not listen.

7. The entire company is run according to the CEO’s word, so do not expect your supervisor to help you.

Because the system was too outdated, the company decided last year to switch to a new system, but gave employees only half a year to learn and implement it. (Of course, while doing that, you also had to maintain the old system. One person had to serve as customer support while being responsible for nearly a dozen subsystems.) They also demanded zero information-security risks in testing. In the end, because the work could not be completed, they laid off more than ten newcomers on the entire fifth floor, all of whom had been there for less than half a year.

Fortunately, I left ^_^

You will encounter many coding problems, which can help you build foundational skills in a short period of time.

Situation before leaving the company

1. The company stated that this was a position under a responsibility-based work system, but did not submit the arrangement to the Labor Bureau for approval.

2. Overtime was required on weekdays without overtime pay. Employees were also not given overtime forms to sign, and when overtime pay was later claimed, the company evaded payment by saying that no form had been signed.

3. Although the company promoted agile development, it often modified the database structure without warning or notification after pages had been completed. This caused page functions to malfunction, after which responsibility was assigned to the employee, who had to find the problem independently, often resulting in wasted work.

4. Database data was deleted without authorization, causing functions to malfunction.

5. One supervisor had a problem with losing emotional control and shouting at other employees. Employees were subjected to emotional attacks and unfounded, harsh, and cutting verbal attacks.

6. The company used projects that had already been overdue before the employee joined as a reason for withholding the year-end bonus.

7. They paint overly grand pictures of the future.

Additional situation:

The company called department personnel into the meeting room one by one to ask about the possibility of layoffs. A supervisor also left a message in the company's communication software explaining the layoff information and asking whether employees intended to stay. However, after an employee hired a lawyer to send the company a letter regarding mediation over the layoff, the company changed its story and said that this had never happened. It then called everyone in the department, including unrelated employees, into the meeting room and used threatening language, saying that the industry was small and advising everyone to behave themselves.

Conclusion: This is a company that sounds very appealing before you join, but is very difficult to leave on good terms.
