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. Because the company is small, you can learn quite a lot of knowledge and skills that you were previously unable to learn through your work.
2. There are basically fewer promotion opportunities, so you can focus more on your own work rather than on interpersonal maneuvering and competition.
3. The company has few members, so the sense of distance between departments is relatively small. Different departments sit in the same office, which creates a greater sense of familiarity, and everyone is easy to get along with.
4. As the company is Japanese-owned, you can become familiar with and learn Japanese through your work.
5. The company provides corresponding summer\winter bonuses based on the year's performance, far exceeding the fixed 14-month compensation commonly offered in the industry.
6. The company regularly holds year-end parties and various activities to strengthen relationships among its members.
7. There are employee benefits such as a coffee machine and tea bags. Having a cup of coffee at work every day is very comfortable.
8. Most of the company's members have considerable work experience (more than 10 years), which helps avoid the various strange situations that often arise in large companies due to high turnover and too many newcomers.
9. The male-to-female ratio is approximately 1:1, so the gender distribution is quite balanced.
There are many advantages—come and experience them for yourself.
1. The starting salary is relatively low compared with the semiconductor industry in general. Whether calculated as monthly or annual pay, it is lower than that of other companies. This is also the main reason why most employees leave.
2. Employee benefits have been reduced year by year (the number of days off, bonus payment system, etc.). In addition, the company has introduced systems such as employee management systems favored by Taiwanese companies in recent years, which is a secondary reason for some employees leaving.
3. There is a significant gap in technical experience. For process engineers, for example, there is a difference of more than 10 years of experience between new employees and the least senior experienced colleagues. Equipment engineers (technicians) also have an experience gap of nearly three years, making it quite difficult to catch up in a short period of time.
