Pros

A shell company with no real business, although it claims to develop blockchain lines. But it has failed.

Cons

The person in charge of Mars Blockchain is Chen Jianwen, a Fujian native. Mars Blockchain Private Limited (MARS BLOCKCHAIN), Jinbei Technology, New Xiamen Capital Management (Singapore) Co., Ltd., Butterfly Technology Services Co., Ltd., and BIRICH INTERNATIONAL PTE are all companies within the same group.

Pros

No advantages, not a single one.

Cons

Just today!!

The great Chairman Chen

made the direct decision to take back the MacBooks currently used by "software engineers" for development.

All other development engineers will be required to use office-grade ASUS laptops for development.

The reason given was that company expenses are too high, and only iOS engineers and designers are allowed to use MacBooks.

They completely disregard the current development progress and time-cost issues.

Great, indeed.

I sincerely hope everyone will not be deceived by this company.

At the year-end banquet, they did not give you their own 1.sg cryptocurrency. As for the year-end bonus, after endless pleading and finally getting approval only after a long delay, we were still told that we should be grateful to them. Everything posted on 104 is fake: the supposed 14-month compensation guarantee does not exist, and neither do the supposed piles of snacks. This company only exploits and deceives people; it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

The equipment is terrible, the snacks have been cut entirely, salaries have been slashed to inhuman levels, and overtime is treated as an obligation. They owe vendors money, refuse to pay, and even issue threatening remarks.

Meanwhile, they live well (with rent of NT$400,000 per month) but still try to shortchange employees out of salaries of NT$370,000 plus year-end bonuses. They use premium equipment (high-end MacBook Pros and an NT$80,000 Surface) and hire a driver (the company’s person in charge?) to drive an S650 Mercedes.

Anyone aspiring to work in software development should absolutely, absolutely not be tricked into joining and being mistreated here.

Regardless of your position, this company only wants slave-like yes-men, not talent.

They do not respect professional expertise and run and manage the company from a self-righteous perspective, treating Taiwanese people entirely like slaves.

If you consider yourself a super slave, believe you have an M inclination, have no sense of self-respect, and do not care about your salary, then welcome to Mars Blockchain~

Pros

The office is in a great location and has a good environment. Most people are blinded by this and think it is a promising, well-funded company.

But! Because they cannot hire enough people and the monthly rent is too high, they have already started looking for other tenants. Once they find one, they will move out and relocate to a cheaper place.

Cons

I am also an employee +1. I am warning everyone from my painful experience: please, please do not choose this company!!! Overall, this is a Mainland Chinese, unscrupulous company with nothing but a lavish office shell hanging a blockchain sign while actually operating in an indescribable industry. After joining, you will discover that the blockchain and virtual currency projects are merely a front; their real purpose is not to seriously develop in this area at all. The products developed by the R&D team are all copied at the direction of senior management. At the beginning, they even intended to purchase one directly from a certain XXhood company near Taipei 101. The stablecoin they issued has no real trading volume whatsoever—it is all generated by bots and manual manipulation. It is not difficult to notice that there are many suspicious points: How could a startup have the audacity to rent an entire floor of the Nanshan Building? It has been established for half a year, so why is it still under 30 people while sharing an 800-ping office? If it is working on blockchain and virtual currency, why can you find almost no relevant information online? The person in charge's background is also completely unknown.....

The comrade from the previous post has already introduced a lot, so I will add some other aspects here:

Senior management:

The person surnamed Tsai that everyone finds online is not actually the person in charge of the company at all. He is merely a nominal front; his actual identity is the company's driver. (Don't you find it extremely strange for a driver to be listed as the person in charge??) The real person in charge is a man who calls himself “Chairman” and whose full name nobody even knows, along with his female partner, the CFO, whose relationship with him is difficult to describe. The other founders behind them are all mysterious figures. The Chairman is from Fujian but changed his nationality to Singaporean. He cannot even understand the word “software,” leading people to suspect that this wealthy man may not even have graduated from university. Why call him a nouveau riche? Because he has only money and absolutely no ability. Imagine someone who cannot even understand “software” working in blockchain?? He knows absolutely nothing about technology and does not respect professional expertise; he only makes demands according to his own methods. For example, he once demanded that the R&D team copy another company's app within 20 days. After seeing that the UI was “OK,” he disregarded the R&D team's advice and hurried everyone to launch it. In addition, every interview ultimately goes through the Chairman. Each interview ends within five minutes, and applicants are not allowed to ask about the company's future development or the advantages of 1SG. He says you can find those things online yourself... The hiring criteria are probably being cheap, durable, willing to work overtime, and pleasing to look at. (If you get hired, don't assume that you are technically outstanding or a promising young person; it only means you were the most cost-effective candidate in your batch. Congratulations.) The Chairman himself lives in a luxury mansion with monthly rent of several hundred thousand, yet repeatedly goes back on his word and refuses to pay employees year-end bonuses, hold a year-end banquet, or pay overtime. He is a truly unscrupulous employer.

Company culture

The culture of this company is that you receive no money, but must willingly work overtime for the company. The Chairman hopes everyone will work until 10 p.m. every day. Not only is it a 996 schedule, but employees are also expected to be on call at all times. (During the interview, they said overtime could be exchanged for compensatory leave, but if you actually report overtime, do you think it would definitely be approved?) The Chairman repeatedly emphasized in meetings that anyone who cannot accept an overtime culture should go work for a Fortune 500 company. Also, the company currently has very few products, so there is no genuine shortage of personnel. Take the R&D vacancies as an example: there are currently fewer than 10 people, but they request three people for every position. Why? Because half of the people they hire either leave on their own or are forced out under the pretext of being unsuitable. Quite a few people have already been forced out, and of course there have been even more voluntary resignations.

Company benefits

1. At first, this company lured everyone in by guaranteeing 14 months of salary. When it was time to pay the year-end bonus, however, they reneged for various reasons and refused to pay. In the end, department heads had to fight repeatedly based on their professional backgrounds before management agreed. Even then, they acted as if they were doing us a favor by giving us the money! Now they have asked HR to change it to 12+2 (the additional two months are subject to performance evaluation, so only part may be received). Everyone felt that no one would last until the following year at such a terrible company, so whether it was guaranteed or not no longer mattered.

2. Other benefits were changed to the three traditional holiday bonuses and 1,200 for birthdays. (Previously, it was 3,600 for each holiday and 6,000 for birthdays; it is expected that they will eventually stop providing anything at all.)

3. There is no year-end banquet or spring dinner. The company pays bonuses in its own stablecoin. (Last year, after canceling the year-end banquet, they gave each person 88 1SG.)

Summary:

This company is one that uses a glamorous office building to disguise its true nature. Do not be deceived by its appearance. After joining, you will discover that it is nothing like what you imagined or expected. The boss only wants to spend as little money as possible while making everyone work themselves to the bone for him, with an attitude of “I’m giving you money today, so you should kneel and flatter me.” The company's benefits and compensation are also nowhere near the level that a startup should offer, and they are even unwilling to provide year-end bonuses or a year-end banquet!! I am urging everyone reading this post so earnestly because I sincerely hope you will not follow in our footsteps. Too many people already regret falling into this trap and are struggling to climb out. Please do not waste any more time or your life here. There are countless good opportunities waiting for everyone out there! This place truly is not worth wasting your time on—unless you want to verify the statements above for yourself, in which case, welcome aboard~

Pros

The office is very presentable.

Cons

Let me get straight to the point:

I am an employee of the company, and I strongly do not recommend that anyone join this company. Unless you feel that the compensation this company offers you is much higher than what other companies offer, staying at this company is simply a waste of your time.

Company background:

This is a blockchain company established in Taiwan by a mainland Chinese gaming and gambling group. The company’s background is very complicated, yet it only tells job candidates that it is a Singaporean startup. It currently has offices in Taiwan, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Singapore, with the Taiwan office primarily focused on development. There are approximately 30 people in Taiwan at present, fewer than 10 of whom are R&D personnel, yet the office can accommodate more than 200 people. These figures reveal many unusual aspects.

About the boss:

As an employee of the company, I still do not know the chairman’s or CEO’s real names. This may be because of the company’s gaming and gambling background; they are highly secretive and low-profile. The senior management known to date are all from mainland China. Senior management members are almost entirely from outside the relevant professional fields, resulting in many chaotic instances of nonexperts leading experts, and they do not know how to respect professional expertise. If you want to win the boss’s favor, besides pretending to work obsessively long hours, you must also have very strong political maneuvering skills.

Working hours:

The boss requires employees to routinely work overtime until 9 p.m. and also work on Saturdays—what is commonly known as 996—but provides no overtime pay, clearly violating the Labor Standards Act. Unless you can obtain better compensation than at other companies, under these working hours, with no overtime pay and no equity or stock options, you are merely a slave.

Company products:

The product the company has launched so far is 1SG, a Singapore dollar stablecoin (similar to the USDT U.S. dollar stablecoin). In the blockchain industry, this is not a new concept. It will subsequently launch apps such as a software wallet and cryptocurrency market-price information, but these are also copies of existing products and offer nothing original.

Personal assessment:

If you come to interview with the company, do not be blinded by the beautiful and impressive office. The boss is extremely stingy in every respect: there is no overtime pay, employees are not allowed to take annual leave, there is no year-end party, there is no money for snacks, and year-end bonuses are not paid in accordance with labor contracts, among many other problems. This is not a startup trying to create new products; it is a Taiwan-based blockchain company under a gaming and gambling group. If you are a vendor considering working with Mars, you should be much stricter in reviewing the contract. Do not assume that the company is financially strong. In addition to being stingy with employees, the company also exploits its business partners.
