Pros

Friendly colleagues. Boost your industrial skills by self-learning. High expectation to work in Asian culture style and endless teleconferences in 27/7 bases.

Cons

Speechless. This is a subsidiary of Taiwan company. The top management are all "golden plated" with some connections with headquarter in Taiwan. Doesn't find good career path and extreme lower than industry salary.

Pros

Free snacks and drinks. Free meal occasionally for certain celebration.

Cons

Management do not know what they are doing and everything is just a try out. Overwork the employee but they don't care. They will just re- hire all the fresh grad without experience to do the slave work. Toxic and kiss sss culture are happening here. If you are good at this, you will do well in this company. As long as you are close to the manager, you are basically "protected" . People who doesn't know how to do this, prepare and work like a slave without any raise or very minimal raise.

Pros

Free snacks and drinks, stocked fridge for the most part, weekly free breakfast

Cons

Unclear career path for upward mobility, very Asian culture as you are expected to OT and stay late. Lowball pay compared to the area’s market rate, excessive ‘management’ meeting frequency (frequent late meetings until 8 PM because of TW time zone). Questionable hiring practice: they often transfer people from Taipei HQ or hire native Chinese speakers to fit into their culture, but few can barely communicate professionally in English. High turnover rate because of a toxic culture and terrible compensation. Outdated office environment, advertise themselves as a “tech company” but uses antiquated internal technology (‘IT team’ runs by 2 people). No flexibility in working from home (mandating employees to work from the office during COVID because 'upper management' doesn't trust them to have the ability to WFH).
