Pros

A grand office that looks so beautiful, and it’s not small either. The boss is a refined-looking “socialite,” seemingly the wife of an architect!

Cons

They’re hiring a designer, but the job description sounds like you’d have to do everything under the sun. How strange!

I’ve heard the turnover rate is extremely high and the atmosphere is quite odd. However, all the seats are empty—could it be that everyone has left?

I’ve heard that they hired 5–6 new people in just two or three months, and then 5–6 employees left afterward…

Pros: Pan and Ms. You are often not at the company. Even when they come in, it is already evening (making you afraid to leave work)... Is this really a pro?

1. They often paint a grand picture, letting you see it (when claiming design fees) but not eat it (while obediently collecting your meager monthly salary).

2. Being their subcontracted commissioned vendor is simply terribly unlucky... They slash prices to the point of drawing blood and revise proposals down to the bone... (Is this how you train vendors?)

3. Under no circumstances should you drive... There is no reimbursement for gas when driving on business trips (because if you don't bring it up, they just pretend not to know)... Even if you do bring it up, whether they will give you anything is another matter!!!!

4. Don't get any fanciful ideas about bringing projects to the company... If you bring one in, will the company give you a share? (You really are so foolish and naively optimistic... This is the result of fair competition by the company.)

5. The company has no packaged add-on software... This has been pointed out for several years... Playing dumb is playing dumb... Not buying means not buying... (And then blaming employees for being inefficient?)

6. When an architect needs to attend coordination meetings... Hurry to the hospital, register as a patient, and ask the doctor to write a certificate so you don't have to attend the meeting (Should I say you're exceptionally clever?)

7. When everyone at the company is working overtime, you absolutely must not leave early... Otherwise, you'll be labeled as not being a team player (even if you genuinely have nothing to do).....

8. Check the company's employee turnover rate (a sea of miserable green)... (It is practically more frequent than the daily turnover in the stock market).....

9. Oh, right... If you leave your seat for 15 minutes, remember to fill out a leave form, okay... Do you understand? (Start taking notes!!!)

10. Try not to join the LINE group if you can avoid it... Otherwise, receiving instructions about assorted matters from them after midnight or at 6–7 in the morning is perfectly normal (Should I say work is part of life?)

Alright.... I've wasted part of my life writing all this. Please give me a round of applause!!! Otherwise, my glass heart is easily hurt.

1. You can aim for a high position, because there are no low-level positions either.

This company is affiliated with a firm called Pan Rongjie Architects. They are located at the same address and have overlapping business operations. Job seekers, please take note!

1. Salary is harshly deducted under various pretexts upon resignation; many people have been affected.

2. The systems are incomplete, and staffing is unbalanced with the workload; the boss is proactive in finding projects but passive in finding employees.

3. Overtime pay does not comply with the Labor Standards Act, and high salaries are underreported for insurance purposes. Some employees even receive no overtime pay and have no annual leave. There is no system for salary or benefits. The boss clearly does not take the Labor Standards Act seriously.

4. The company lacks cohesion. When employees resign, they cannot leave because there is no one to hand over their work to. At the same time, new employees do not know whom to receive handover from.

5. The boss avoids existing work and takes the easiest route; most projects are currently a mess. New projects continue to fall into the same cycle of becoming messes.

6. Unable to hire regular employees, the company relies on interns as its main workforce.

7. As for the boss’s professional ethics, I have no comment. Those interested can experience it for themselves.

8. They paint a wonderful dream with words, but every dream eventually ends. The ambitions are huge; the actions are small.

9. When you hear the boss weaving dreams with you and piecing together a blueprint for the future, please stay calm—it is absolutely not real.

10. Salary and benefits are below average.

The above opinions are all based on my own experience. I still believe this company is gradually improving, so those interested can give it a try themselves.

I wish the company great success and prosperity.
