Pros

Salary is OK comparing with other Taiwan companies. Acceptable workload and working time, but I guess it depends on which team you are in. People are friendly.

Cons

FLAT Management. No training, always try to cut costs on little things but use up stuff's energy and patient. Not willing to spend more on benefits or development. Too conservative, management has no motivation to try new technology or business. Losing talents, have to arrive office before 8AM, SILLY!

Pros

Got to learn a lot in the begining. Technology was innovative. Excellent benefits. Great mentors that pull you along very well. Kind of flexible hours. No parking problems.

Cons

Heavy micro management. No room for growth. You do similar stuff for years. Late to market. Low pay. Review system is terrible. Only designed to find flaws. Low raises, low bonuses, if any. No room for promotions. Very conservative upper management all the way.
