The boss inexplicably and suddenly lays off a bunch of people for no apparent reason, then hires another batch not long afterward! Most employees stay for less than a year, with people constantly coming and going! The boss only listens to suggestions from long-term employees; if your suggestion does not suit his preferences, he assumes you are not very capable... The company's products are awful-quality goods from mainland China, constantly have problems that cannot be solved, yet employees are expected to promote how excellent these products are. Everyone is exhausted, and people leave after working there for only a short time! The boss thinks that if someone leaves, another person can easily be found, so it does not matter! The boss only talks fancifully about grand dreams but has no financial resources! One person is expected to do the work of two, for very little pay, and they do not want you to work overtime because they would have to pay overtime wages! Personally, I think it is a small company, but the office is fairly bright! If you have a strong heart, newcomers can give it a try to gain some experience for a while, but the worrying part is that the boss may suddenly lay people off again! Anyway, you can collect unemployment benefits.
There really are none.
1. The employee turnover rate is extremely high; almost all the employees there are newcomers.
2. The internal operating procedures are chaotic.
3. The team atmosphere is poor, and there is a lack of cohesion.
4. Capable employees may be assigned work involving multiple roles (they say there will be a raise, but it is not much).
5. It cannot serve as a stepping stone for graduates; please think carefully.
None
Cons
1. The office team atmosphere is poor. If you like a good atmosphere, I suggest you don’t come!
3. Extremely high turnover!! Also, the boss is very stubborn and won’t listen to the suggestions you give.
4. You can’t learn anything professional here, and it’s not suitable as a stepping stone.
5. They love making empty promises, and their commitments will absolutely not be fulfilled. Things are different before and after the interview.
6. Do not come here under any circumstances!! Run away quickly
1. Snacks are provided.
2. There is a team dinner every month, which also doubles as a birthday celebration for employees whose birthdays fall that month.
1. The cliquish atmosphere in the office is extremely serious, which can easily lead to internal friction.
2. The relationship dynamics are very apparent, and it is important to build good relationships with veteran employees or the boss (X).
3. The turnover rate is actually very high. People come and go easily, whether they are let go or leave because they can no longer take it. After asking around the office, almost everyone has complaints or has encountered similar situations—it is just a matter of whether you can endure it.
4. Employees are treated like commodities; comparing prices is important—they will definitely look for someone cheap and useful (?).
5. Professional expertise is not important here, because the boss and veteran employees think they are more professional. Yet there are clearly many procedures that go against common industry practices, and your ideas do not matter either.
6. Everyone has their own set of standards, so you never know whose instructions you should follow that day.
7. The people in charge take turns playing the good cop and bad cop, so do not assume any one of them is particularly nice.
8. The balcony of one of the meeting rooms is a smoking area, but secondhand smoke often drifts into the office and smells awful.
9. Overtime must be requested in advance, but you will not know how long you need to work overtime. Without an application, you will not receive overtime pay.
Can't think of any.
The salary on 104 says the regular salary reaches 40,000.
But when I went for the interview, they offered 33,000.
I asked why it wasn't 40,000,
and they replied that their budget wasn't that high.
If they don't have that much in the budget, why post such a figure?
Don't waste your time interviewing with this company.
There really aren't any.
Whatever you do, don't let your supervisor/boss know that you have foreign-language skills. Not only will you not get paid more, you'll also constantly be treated as a free translator.

⚠️This post is intended to criticize Yiqi Co., Ltd. (which has the same owner and office as Laiyi), but since Yiqi does not have its own discussion board, this post is being published here first.
1. The company has no room for growth
The company mainly represents various mainland Chinese 3C products, but the product quality is as poor as that of night-market goods, while the manager keeps expecting us to package them as if they were excellent.
During the interview, the manager made it sound as though the company was developing, but in reality, the company cannot even afford to rent an office in Taipei City and is considering moving to Xizhi.
2. The manager lacks competence
The manager’s background and abilities are fairly ordinary, with no successful project examples, but they often think they are very capable and only give useless advice (e.g., “I think things just need to look pretty...” “When I first created this proposal, the product had to look pretty...”
They only know how to say that things should look attractive, without any target audience or market research analysis.
3. Constant message bombardment after work
There is one WeChat group for each product we represent, in addition to several company Line groups. Every time, the message bombardment continues until around 8 p.m., when it gradually quiets down.
Then, after work, the manager will frantically mention you in the groups. Aside from asking about work-related matters, they also assign tasks for the next day. None of them are actually important or urgent, but the messages in the groups make it seem as though you have not done anything.
You don't have to clean the environment yourself
The company owner seems to think that legal entities just appear without having to hire anyone again
The company is almost entirely made up of newcomers, and interviews are ongoing nonstop
It's worth mentioning that the boss really likes to leave things unclear and expects people to read their mind
If you don't have a supernatural constitution, you may find it difficult to handle the job
