Building a friendly workplace

To attract global talent and deepen the cultivation of electroacoustic experts, MERRY has expanded its student engagement beyond traditional industry-academia collaborations and project mentoring. Since its launch in 2023, our "Elite Internship Program" has been a pivotal platform for aspiring acoustic professionals. In 2025, we welcomed 12 interns, nine of whom successfully qualified for our Technology Talent Development Grant. Through hands-on experience and early immersion in our corporate culture, the program effectively bridges the gap between academia and industry while accurately identifying suitable talent. We look forward to welcoming more“new voices" to this program every year!

To expand recruitment channels and enhance talent-role alignment, MERRY doubled its “Employee Referral Bonusˮ in 2023 and introduced a “Dual-Linkageˮ mechanism. This system ties bonus disbursements to both the “retention performance of new hiresˮ and the “mentoring responsibility of the referrers.ˮ Bonuses will be disbursed in phases to ensure the quality and long-term stability of new talent. In 2025, 15.6% of new hires joined MERRY through internal referral, with 76% of them remaining at MERRY for more than six months. This system not only revitalizes internal talent acquisition momentum but also concretely demonstrates employeesʼ strong identification with MERRYʼs corporate culture.

Since 2023, we have visited science and engineering departments at major universities across the country to host "Talent Information Event." By the end of 2025, we had engaged with six departments, with over 500 students participating. These sessions shared information about MERRYʼs corporate culture, career planning advice, employment and internship opportunities, and scholarship programs, using lectures to spark studentsʼ interest in and engagement with MERRY.

Now in its 15th consecutive year, MERRYʼs "Technology Talent Development Grant" program remains a cornerstone of our early talent strategy. The program is open to graduate students and those in five-year integrated bachelorʼs-masterʼs programs across domestic universities. In addition to scholarships, selected elite students gain practical exposure to the electroacoustic industry through work-study internships and other hands-on opportunities. Upon graduation or completion of military service, they join MERRY directly to apply their knowledge in the workplace. In 2025, three outstanding students were selected. Over the past 15 years, there have been 131 applications, with 63 students accepted, resulting in an acceptance rate of 51.37% (including those who renewed their grants). The scholarship can be renewed for one additional year during the studentʼs academic tenure; 12 recipients from previous cohorts have renewed their grants. Excluding students currently enrolled or serving in the military, 42 distinguished graduates have chosen to join MERRY directly after graduation.

In 2025, we collaborated with the College of Information and College of Information and Electrical Engineering at Feng Chia University to launch a collaborative acoustics curriculum, achieving a seamless integration between industry and academia.

 

This course attracted 26 students, and through in-depth training in a single course, it effectively narrowed the gap caused by "skill mismatches.ˮ Students can gain an early mastery of the practical logic behind electroacoustic testing and hardware/software integration during their studies, bridging the gap between academic theory and industrial applications. To strengthen our talent pipeline, we not only offer project competition prizes but also provide interview opportunities and priority access to internship programs. This comprehensive approach aims to inspire student enthusiasm and establishes a comprehensive external talent development mechanism to inject new momentum into the industry.
