Pros
It is not a particularly nice company, but they stick to the contract and it is run very efficiently. The boss is a a man with a good vision who has the right outlook. I was inspired when he visisted my school and gave a speech. In reality though, he is not around most of the time. Low rank supervisors are in charge when he is away travelling and they are not as good.
Cons
As translators we are mostly local ie Taiwanese workers. We get paid less than foreign workers for doing the same kind of work. Not only is the pay lower for us but the foreign workers get access to all bonuses we aren’t eligible for and they get more holidays. We all get a two day holiday every week but foreigners can ask for more. We have huge workload every day. I personally go home and finish work there but others stay at the office. Employees have many complains about this work but fell on deaf ears. For example we asked for flexible working. It was denied. The working situation is unfortable. We all seated in uncomfortable noisy chairs for 9 hours a day. We often do t have time to take our lunch rest and we are chained to the desk all day long. Many of my colleagues have complained about aching- a good company would organize massage time. I feel personally very sad in this office because the workload is too high and there are no windows. The carpets, walls, cubicles, ceiling are all the same shade of grey. We are given less chances than the foreign staff I think just this is because it is easy to replace us.
