Read the community guidelinesThe headcount is extremely small, and you will often be the only employee left (if you can manage to stay long enough). The boss and his wife are often away from the company. Salaries are paid reliably, and on holidays they are paid early. These are the only two advantages.
1. During the three major traditional festivals, there is only a gift box (or sometimes even nothing); the year-end bonus depends on the mood of the boss and his wife (most of the time it is only a few thousand dollars—better than getting nothing).
2. The boss's wife is extremely impatient and often makes sarcastic remarks about employees. The boss is very finicky and likes to nitpick (for example, measuring letter spacing and margins with a ruler). He is very stingy (the Macs are almost all second-hand) and slow to react.
3. Most of the business involves government agencies and mold factories. Because the company focuses on low-cost services, they are often in a bad mood.
4. Because they are in a bad mood, the couple often quarrel and lash out at customers and employees.
5. They like to take advantage of people (whether employees or partner vendors, because they want to save money), and like to take employees to eat at customers' restaurants. (If the customer is in the food-service industry, they will treat it as the venue for an employee gathering and year-end party.)
6. If taking advantage of a partner vendor is discovered, they often make an employee act as a shield.
7. Their work skills are extremely outdated—unchanged for ten years.
8. They are very strict about the salary structure and are very good at playing number games, splitting your salary into many categories, which results in the salary you ultimately receive being different from what was discussed on the surface (for example: performance bonuses require you to write progress reports. The boss's wife always thinks complicated projects should be easy to complete, but while you are handling Project A, she often reassigns you to Project B; then, while you are rushing to finish Project B, she asks whether Project A is done yet. Then she immediately tells you to work on Project C... What the F?).
9. Employee turnover is extremely high, and the company is a regular presence on all the major job-search websites in Taiwan (after seeing all this, would anyone still want to stay?).
10. There is too much left to write. Experience it for yourself.
