The worst company to work for in Taipei

Pros

I can't think of any, except for being able to wear slippers to work.

Cons

This is absolutely the worst company to work for. In fact, it was only after I accepted my offer that I realized former employees had sued this company left and right. It has such a horrible reputation in the translation industry that many people are surprised it's still up and running despite it trying to break every labor law possible. The pay is ridiculous, they fine you for whatever BS reasons, the environment is almost on par to that of a military, and this is quite possibly the most boring job I've had to date. I quit within three weeks. Going to work was so painful, I would've opt for a root canal. Even three weeks felt too long; I couldn't wait to get out of there. Turnover rate is notoriously high. There are almost always people leaving the company every week. If you're on your three months probation period, offer your resignation at 11am, and you're out the door by lunch. I left my Google account logged in at the company's computer, and the next employee that took my position emailed me, asking me why I left. He laughed off at my reasons, stating that I was being dramatic. A week later, he told me he was leaving that circus, too. Stay the hell away from this company at all cost. Leaving it was the best decision I have ever made, and I'm so glad I found my current job. There are way open-minded, respectful, fun, energetic companies in town. This company was a waste of my time.

Pros

Flexible with time in the office, lovely people. They offer support with family issues and generally happy to help with any problems you might have if they can (at work or otherwise). Can make quite a lot of money if you put the hours in. Happy to sponsor professional development. Extremely flexible for a Taiwanese company.

Cons

Low rate per word - offset by it being in-house though. Payment is per-word instead of a flat salary, so this gives you the opportunity to make a lot - but once you're past probation, if you don't make your 'base salary' they deduct the difference every time you make extra. Make sure you read your contract carefully, the probation and permanent contracts will likely say different things.
