Typical exploitative boss—suited to being a professor, not running a company. The husband-and-wife owners are unbelievably stingy: low pay, no benefits, and they make you do all sorts of miscellaneous tasks, then complain that your performance is poor. They don’t dare offend clients, so they only dare to train engineers like dogs. The machines are lousy, the environment is filthy, and you’re constantly required to falsify data. If you submit your resignation within the first ten days, they don’t want to pay your salary and will make you leave early. There’s only one decent restaurant nearby; otherwise, you have to eat at a convenience store.

1. Salaries are paid late. When I asked the person in charge, I only got: “The HR manager just returned to Taiwan, so the payment was delayed.” For fuck’s sake—I’ve worked at all kinds of companies, and I’ve never once had a salary paid late, much less heard a senior manager give an excuse like that. Seriously… impressive. Time to close up shop~
2. They make huge promises about benefits, saying things like there will be gifts for the three major holidays, but after the Dragon Boat Festival passed, there wasn’t a damn thing. Heh.
3. It would be bad enough if the boss were merely unprofessional, but he doesn’t know how to manage people either. He says, “I don’t want to manage people,” and then handles everything haphazardly. The most outrageous part is that everyone underneath him is still expected to listen to him. What a fucking contradiction~
4. You have to repair broken testing equipment yourself. Just taking apart a module takes more than half a day. Are we not supposed to do anything else because we’re repairing equipment? Is it really that difficult to hire a vendor’s engineer for maintenance? If you don’t have the money, don’t even think about starting a company.
5. We’re constantly cleaning up the messes left by those who came before. Looks like this isn’t the first time these problems have happened at this company 🤔
6. Employees are fired for no apparent reason—completely out of the blue. They just say, “You’re not suitable for this job,” and tell you to get lost the next day, leaving every new hire feeling like they’re sitting on pins and needles.
7. New-hire training is a complete mess. There isn’t even a proper, complete SOP, or it’s only half-done. On top of that, they expect newcomers who have been there for less than a week to go in, Google information, and teach everyone else.
Taking leave is very easy.
The boss is unprofessional and even worse at managing people. Everything under them is a mess, yet they do not manage it and still expect employees to listen to them.
The company’s operations appear to have problems, so salaries are sometimes paid late.
Whenever any machine in the company, large or small, breaks down, employees have to repair it themselves. They never hire outside help, possibly because they cannot afford to bring in the manufacturer’s engineers for repairs.
Most seriously, in order to pass the annual audit, they go so far as to order employees to falsify inspection data.
Finally, this company makes extremely grand promises. Please think carefully before joining.
Because you never know whether tomorrow will be the day you are laid off (employees are dismissed without warning).
