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.)
