We value flexibility and autonomy at work. With diverse co-working spaces in our office, every team member can freely choose the environment that best suits their working style at any time.

At Cake, we believe that people are the driving force behind every organization’s growth.

We are committed to building a flat, transparent, and agile environment where every team member can grow, unlock their potential, and achieve personal fulfillment. We value every idea and believe that the best outcomes come from collaboration and the exchange of perspectives.

Cake now has over 100 team members across Taiwan (Taipei, Hsinchu), Vietnam, and Indonesia, driving growth through cross-regional collaboration.

In Taiwan, we operate six core departments: Product Development, Visual Design, Marketing, Recruitment Consulting, Business Development, and People Operations. These teams work closely together—spanning product development, brand marketing, design, business growth, and compliance—to form a strong foundation that supports the steady growth of our products and services.

In 2024, Cake established subsidiaries in Indonesia and Vietnam,building dedicated recruitment teams in both markets. This cross-regional collaboration and knowledge sharing strengthen our presence in Asia and continue to drive innovation in talent technology.

Building on this foundation, our culture grows from the mindset of “Think Big. Start Small. Act Fast.” into four Cultural Values and Core Competencies:

#1 Think Big - First Principles Thinking

At Cake, we constantly challenge our limits and unlock potential. Only by breaking free from conventional frameworks can we create new possibilities. Both in science and entrepreneurship, the concept of First Principles Thinking is often emphasized—a method that strips away assumptions and traces back to fundamental truths and principles.

This deep understanding and essence-driven exploration form the cornerstone of innovation, enabling us to approach challenges and opportunities with more effective and creative solutions instead of being constrained by existing norms.

#2 Start Small - Lead through Action

With transparent and accessible information, anyone can leverage insights to make decisions that benefit the company. Before making a decision, given our culture of continuous and timely feedback, decision-makers can gather ideas from others, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.

We encourage everyone to quickly turn their ideas into a minimum viable product—whether it’s a pitch deck, an ad, a landing page, or an email template—and bring it to market to receive the most authentic feedback.

#3 Win Together - Collaborative Communication

At Cake, we freely share information with others and expect that this flow will spark valuable discussions. This openness applies across the entire company, not just within individual teams.

Effective feedback should follow four principles

• Aim to assist
• Be actionable
• Express gratitude when receiving criticism
• You may choose whether to adopt or disregard the feedback.

#4 Drive Impact - Pursuing Great Outcomes

Peter Thiel, in Zero to One, emphasizes that true innovation should be market-dominating; the best competition is no competition at all. The goal of entrepreneurship is to create a monopoly, not engage in zero-sum competition. We constantly strive to tackle big problems and generate market impact.

Mistakes are an inevitable byproduct of pursuing impact. We should view them as part of the experimentation process. The key is to learn from them and avoid repeating the same errors—there’s no need for harsh judgment.

Cake’s benefits and activities are organized into three main areas, designed to help everyone work and live comfortably while continuing to learn and grow:

At Cake, we believe every contribution deserves recognition.

• Evaluation Process:
  We conduct performance reviews twice a year using a 360-degree feedback system (Self, Peer, Upward, Downward Review). This multi-perspective feedback provides a holistic view of performance. We emphasize continuous improvement and skill growth, aligned with competency models, to support employees in achieving their career goals.
• Promotion & Compensation:

Decisions consider the scope of impact, level of responsibility, and performance, ensuring effort is recognized and rewarded.

Q4. How does cross-team collaboration work at Cake?

Cross-department collaboration is part of our daily routine.
Our product, business, marketing, and operations teams work closely across project stages to set goals, break down problems, and drive execution.

Through project teams and regular cross-department meetings, different teams collaborate closely at each stage. We also have a structured cross-team support system to ensure resources are accessible and teams can assist each other efficiently.

Additionally, we hold a weekly company-wide standup to provide real-time updates on priorities and progress, ensuring alignment and transparent communication.

This approach clarifies individual roles and impact, fosters collaboration in a fast-moving environment, and drives cross-functional innovation.

Q5. What support do new hires receive?

Every new team member goes through a comprehensive onboarding orientation, complete with materials to help you quickly understand Cake’s culture, tools, and collaboration practices.

Within the first two weeks, the People Team schedules a 1:1 check-in to support your adaptation and ensure a smooth start at Cake.

Q6. Does Cake have unique cultural practices or surprise activities for new hires?

At Cake, we believe a strong culture stems from authentic interaction and proactive sharing.

We encourage employees from different teams, backgrounds, and interests to connect and learn from each other, for example:

• Monthly 1:1 Lunch Meetups: Casual lunch conversations for members from different teams to build connections.
  
• Club Activities: Clubs like the golf club host regular classes and practices, and have organized events such as movie nights to foster social interaction and shared growth.
• Employee-Led Internal Workshops: Beyond work skills, employees share expertise on diverse topics—high-efficiency meeting facilitation, stretches for desk workers, AI automation tools, and more. These workshops are initiated and enthusiastically attended by team members.

We support every member’s initiative and creativity, striving to create an environment where people grow together and communicate openly. You’re welcome to join or even start new activities, growing alongside us at Cake!
