Pros

If you hate working, you can do nothing for years and get paid for doing the bare minimum. Sometimes, when you quit they’ll give you a raise to continue to do nothing.

Cons

Roughly 80% of engineers there who have been there for over 10 years seemed to all have forgotten how to code. Nonetheless, will still be angry at you when you try to explain simple things like version control to them and they don’t understand. When you give them the solution, they will purposefully leave an “underperforming” review because they feel threatened by your competence. They will then ignore you for promotion for the next 8 years. Then, when they lose their tempers because they have the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old baby, they will blame you for not being “tolerant” enough of their temper tantrums.

Pros

Salary is considered competitive in Taiwan

Cons

The code quality is extremely poor, manager can't take any advice at all, the only thing manager care about is speed of development, causing lots of anti pattern design. Often get called by manager in off work time. AVOID THIS COMPANY IF YOU CARE ABOUT GROWING SKILLS AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER
