Pros

-Decent salary if you negotiate well or can kiss up to the senior management. -There are lots of talented people across many departments that you have the opportunity to meet and network with. -A large company that is likely to grow but mainly in the B2B side of the business.

Cons

-Micromanagement at every level, all decisions are reviewed by the CEO, pretty much need to create multiple marketing plans per week and review them across multiple management levels and business units before execution. -High-stress, high-workload environment due to many inefficiencies and a lot of bureaucracy. Ideas and decisions can change throughout the day and you'll need to do a full 180 in needed and still meet previously set deadlines. -Management level doesn't have a clear vision or direction on branding, communication, and marketing, many of the plans and ideas are put forward by junior-level staff even interns. -High employee turnover, each department will lose an employee every 3 months or so, they're always recruiting, and also the reason starting salary is very high.

Pros

A good place with many talented co-workers. For technical candidates, you can learn a lot of programming skills for Windows software. For non-technical candidates, this company is very structured for OEM business as many other Taiwanese companies do. You can learn every thing about doing OEM business.

Cons

"Frugality" is the only core thinking of its CEO. Pay is OK for programming positions, poor for product managers, and really bad for QA, and extremely terrible for other functions (sales/mkt/support/IT/finance). There is absolutely no pay for overtime hours. Benefits are slightly better than legal minimum but far below from non-Taiwanese companies. Lack of respect from top management. Their OEM sales revenue is dropping while the consumer sales does not pick up the loss. Company is looking for new direction by betting on YouCam Perfect , which destiny is very questionable compared to its competitors.

Pros

- A bit higher payment compared to other industries in Taiwan. (You may rethink your plan to work in Taiwan if you are from another country) - More complete company rules and systems, at least in Taiwan.

Cons

- High junior staff turnover. - Involuntary overtime working. The working time on the labor contract states 9:00 to 18:00 with an hour lunch break time. However, the department supervisor will tell you the working time is 9 to 19 with 2 hours break time due to their "unspoken rules". In fact, no one takes their break time but they are still working at lunchtime for 1.5~2 hours full time every day. Also, some juniors are still at work at 20:00 or further. - No possibility to apply for overtime payment. Even the company has a clear rule about it. - Centralized management. You always have to guess the thoughts of your supervisors, and they don't want to communicate with subordinates about immediate development difficulties. - Unclear rules for promotion and salary increase. - Incompletely implemented internal controls, such as GDPR and data security of staff and customers. Even they claim they have done them. - All supervisors in this department are male and some of them have talked about female job candidates' appearance and have made fun of each other who of them seems to "like the girl" in the department's public area. - Workload imbalance between "men and women" and "younger ladies". (Very classic bias but it exists in this company.)
