Pros

Not sure where to really start...I applied to this place because my last position was hell on earth and I knew any company would be better in the mean time. Look at the below pros: - It was next to some good food places, a dispensary, the mall and the gym so that was something to look forward to - I made some great, long lasting friendships during my time in the mkt dept - Seems to be a management vs employee type of environment which means no one's competing to take my job away - 2-3 hour lunch breaks were nice - Being able to use verbal language was never frowned upon - I could wear joggers/sweats and no one seemed to care - Envision (meant doubling up on a coffee run or getting costco gas)

Cons

Let this section be lengthy. The company visions have changed over the years. I can't speak for other depts, but marketing low balls you from the start. Aside from cheap upper management, this is not a company that knows how to run things. They tend to nurture the dumb and useless here. Then they get rewarded with assistants while the hard working individuals get stuck with more work. There's no real job duties for anyone. I've seen people get on their hands and knees (marketing dept) to wrap pallets, clean the warehouse, move boxes and to do other manual labor. This team tends to run the show and do the behind the scenes support, but never gets appreciated. Instead, they have a witch who micromanages to the bone. There is absolutely no trust between supervisor and team members. It's sad. This person of power is pretty brutal. I've been called names of other employees... I've also been called a "she" before... Absolutely no respect for anyone. When she's angry, you can hear she scream and stomp her foot like a 4 year old. I hope she doesn't pop a blood vessel or get a heart attack from all this unnecessary anger.

No room for growth, no way to move up

Pros

Management is often times hands-off... lots of ways to involve yourself at every level in the company. It's a good start to get your feet wet in the tech industry.

Cons

There is very little room for growth. Some positions are given out based on seniority, relevant experience is appreciated but not compensated.

Pros

- Nice colleagues (If you work for the right department) If you ever consider working for this company, DO check with your connections who work here. - Flex-working No one wants to work overtime since company won't pay you for overtime - They follow the rules and regulations Well... they make sure you'll be protected by law but... law is the moral minimum

Cons

Now... where should I start. - Poor management A LOT of office politics, drama and rumors. Very old-school asian management style. No room to change status quo. Some of the managers speak very poor English. Very depressing, negative office atmosphere - Low-paid If you are an Asian, they will pay you even less - Short-sighted No so-called long-term business plan. Ridiculously low marketing budget - No respect to employee - Unprofessional HR They handle everything badly and they think they do a great job. It's a joke. - No room to grow No proper trainings If you cannot please your manager, you will never be promoted - High employee turnover Every 2-3 months a group of employees quit

Typical Asian company, shady business practices

Pros

Really relaxed environment. Little to no chance of getting fired. Company is heavily sales oriented, so if you're in Sales, you might do all right.

Cons

Shady business practices to cut corners, including delayed salary payment, deducting vacation time if you don't work a full 8 hours each day, not providing comp time for days worked over the weekend, however frequent. You also need to clock in & out each day (including in & out for lunch), even if you're a salaried exempt employee. Taiwanese company & culture. Management just takes orders from Taiwan headquarters and doesn't really know what they're doing. Projects always seem to be given last minute, so everything always feels rushed. Not much room for growth. Company likes to promote based on seniority and not based on qualification. Because they don't fire anyone, the company ends up accumulating a bunch of lazy & unqualified employees. If you're a conscientious & good worker who actually cares about doing your job well, you will not be appreciated.
