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

One of the best SW development teams in the world with the ability to turn ideas into reality quickly. Leadership is open to feedback and new ideas. Great work/life balance and they offer benefits with 401K match.

Cons

Main office is located in Taiwan so will need to deal with departments located in a different time zone.

Pros

- ISV leader in PC OEM business, but PC industry is weak - Talented and hard working engineers. Great support team in Taiwan - Colleagues are hard working A Taiwanese company run like a small cap company with 100 employees. Top exec oversees every little detail.

Cons

- Too cheap - Traditional ways of management, found back in the 1960s - clueless on marketing and branding in the US - Control freaks One of the mission statement goals is FRUGALITY. This says it all!! CL admits they are cheap. Promotions are non-existent unless you slave away 12-14 hours a day and listen to CEO's wishes 100%. For marketing, uses strange English names to market English locales or incorrect words to market to European locales. Top execs don't listen to those in charge of their locale.
