Only one point: Complies with the Labor Standards Act, and you leave work on time.

If you want to demonstrate ambition and seek a path to self-destruction while gaining work experience, look elsewhere. More than half of the employees with over 10 years of experience are just coasting toward retirement, because the company does not dare lay them off—it's afraid of the expense and of attracting the attention of the Ministry of Labor. I agree with what netizens have said: outsiders are leading insiders. The supervisors spout nonsense (only one remaining supervisor actually gets things done); the rest do not handle matters, make decisions, or take responsibility when something goes wrong. They keep repeating things they have already said, never get to the point, and go around in circles forever. They also constantly change directives, especially... they seem to love criticizing former employees who have left. Lower-ranking employees are genuinely working hard for the company, but receive disproportionate compensation. Some employees have a basic salary of around NT$18,000, and even after including other components, it only just exceeds NT$23,800. No matter how long you work, the figure does not change; what changes is that the years are unforgiving! To be continued...

I thought about the advantages for a long time, and the only one is that there is no need to work overtime. There are no others.

My final advice: Don’t waste your life here.

After actually starting work, I found the following problems:

(1) There is no complete system or set of procedures. The departments do not function properly, are in conflict with one another, and employees lack competitiveness and a sense of unity. They push work onto one another, and some supervisors lack the ability to take responsibility.

(2) The salary is average, with no special benefits. Year-end bonuses depend on the company’s earnings; essentially, you can regard the annual salary as simply 12 months of pay.

(3) The salary structure and the way pay is deducted for leave differ from those of typical companies. You need to confirm the details carefully to avoid regretting it later.

(4) Basically, this is a one-person decision-making company. All decisions depend on the boss, so you need a high EQ and considerable patience to stay here for a long time.

(5) Employees are required to clean the workplace themselves.

(6) Some department supervisors lack professional ability and basic knowledge, and may instruct subordinates to use incoming-material inspection methods such as blowing an LCD with a hair dryer at high temperature.

(7) Supervisors’ meetings are long-winded and unfocused; they only argue and reach no practical decisions.

Hone your emotional intelligence.

The company has no standardized processes, and they keep changing. Some senior executives lack the relevant expertise, but they all share the same skill: setting traps for others to fall into. I strongly agree with what a former colleague said: this is a place where laypeople lead experts. I advise newcomers considering an interview or joining the company not to waste their time and energy—look at other companies instead.

No overtime.

The managers here are basically all useless—mostly long-serving old-timers who have been here for over twenty years. They never say anything when decisions are being made. In particular, the procurement manager is not only incompetent; if you offend him, he will definitely look for an opportunity to ruin you. The place is full of old-timers and many narrow-minded people. If that group went to other companies, basically no one would want them—they're far too useless. By the way, the pay is also very poor.

None

If you want to join this company, you need to know how to flatter. During the interview, flatter the boss as much as possible, and they’ll be pleased and hire you. You might even be able to ask for a bit more money, but two days later, you’ll know you’re doomed.

Use the money sparingly. Remember, make one dollar do the work of ten; otherwise, you’ll be out tomorrow.
