This page collects workplace experiences, questions and discussions submitted by users. Dates shown are submission dates, not periods of employment. Individual reports do not describe the entire company.
Read the community guidelines1. There is a project-completion bonus
2. Little need for overtime
3. The supervisor communicates rationally about the work and does not interfere excessively
4. The work is straightforward
5. The company places importance on cleanliness; everyone spends the first half hour cleaning on Monday mornings
1. High employee turnover; apart from the supervisor, only one of the most senior employees has been there for nearly two years
2. Unclear policies and poor communication. If the company followed the Labor Standards Act, it would not be reported by former employees. Involving current employees and causing them trouble is meaningless. Policies are changed according to the company’s mood, while employees are expected to consider the company’s interests and accept adjustments. However, employees also need to protect their own rights. When changes to benefits harm those rights, it is impossible to simply agree and refrain from expressing opinions. The company seems to think employees are being too calculating and blindly demands that they make concessions. Blaming everything on employees is not a way to solve problems.

3. You should be able to accept Christianity to work here. The owner and the owner’s wife are devout Christians, and meetings always involve God and the Bible. Every employee has been asked whether they are married or dating. Christian employees are recommended as good potential partners because they supposedly will not get divorced. At the year-end banquet, the owner and his wife also participate in the raffle. I heard they only wanted to take part and would give any prizes they won to employees. However, when the owner’s wife won, she said that whoever wanted the prize should go to church and be baptized with her. One of the grand prizes was for the winner to be surrounded by everyone while they sang hymns. A couple from the church was invited to give a speech at the year-end banquet for more than half an hour about how life is better through faith in God.
4. The rare benefits
Perfect-attendance bonus: There is no grace period for lateness. The company’s time clock is often inaccurate; if employees are required to be punctual, salaries should also be paid on time.
Monthly snacks: Adjusted according to the owner’s wishes—from a monthly budget of 2,000, to being canceled, to being changed to 1,500.
Massage chair: A benefit if you can finish your work and do not mind the supervisor and busy coworkers.
Project-completion bonus: It takes a long time for the company to receive payment after a project ends, so it is paid only once or twice within a year.
The above reflects my personal experience and impressions while employed, for reference.
The interviewer was quite talkative and seemed like a nice person.
Applied for a 3D architectural position.
When overtime came up, the interviewer said that there was no overtime pay, but compensatory leave was available.
However, compensatory leave was not calculated from the end of the workday at 6:30 p.m.;
working until 8 or 9 p.m. did not count as compensatory leave—you had to work past 10 or 11 p.m. for it to count.
The way to take compensatory leave was to call or use LINE to notify the boss that you had worked past 10 or 11 p.m. the previous night and would be arriving late at the company that day.
If you can accept this arrangement for compensatory leave, you can consider going to the interview.
