Pros
- free recreation facilities, eg: badminton courts, billiard and table tennis. - place to work till retirement, if you are not pursuing career advancement. - a lot of OT, good for fresh graduate to earn more money, management will think that you are hard working instead of efficiency. - In-house cafeteria, food allowance, cheap price.
Kontras
- A LOT of Toxic, political work culture. - Supervisor are really micro-management, arrogant and unhonest enjoying taking people at their back. (maybe not all, guess only my team does). - Doesn't really work like a high-tech engineering company, lots of old fashioned middle management who sticks with antiquated process. - 'Clique' culture. Employee from certain cliques tend to band together and promote their interest. - Cronyism, favoritism, recognition is based on superficial factors rather than merit. Example the 'CHARMERS' are likely to get promoted over the competent. - Unreasonable, unfair performance evaluation, review based on hearsay, and who you know, who you hang out with, in the company/ department / team. - project...project...project... many projects are non-sense, only put up for show, cheating for job grade promotion. Again, only the 'CHARMERS' are selected to participate in the project. - Nationality-bias, Taiwanese hierarchy culture, this is a pure Mandarin speaking company, most of the top management is from Taiwan and China, inter-grade promotion difficult and depending on top management .
