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

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
