Honestly, it’s a horrible place to work at. If you are a foreigner there is systemic racism among all the senior employees. They train the new ones and the cycle never ends. Expect zero tolerance for mistakes from the moment you sign the contract from hell. They need us but they don’t want us there period. If you are an expat expect to only fly to the US West Coast repeatedly. Europe? Those are for the Taiwanese “locals”. Expect your schedule to be messy, then get 5-10 schedule changes and then make it even worse. They tend to mess around and try to find “weak” or push overs by changing duty last minute or asking to “please come to work” on their day off. If you say no, you are punished. Expect to be in the simulator as partner in evaluations at the last minute in your standby days just because they can mess with you. Anyway, believe the reviews. Stay AWAY.
None, they don’t care and they won’t change.
China pays better if you really want to come to Asia. Same toxic culture for lots more money.

EVA Air may appear appealing from the outside — modern fleet, international operations, and the prestige of flying wide-body jets. However, this “shiny jet syndrome” quickly fades when faced with the harsh reality of the company’s internal culture. From the start, the training environment is demoralizing and excessively punitive. Instructors seem more focused on breaking down trainees than supporting their development. Even minor mistakes during initial operating experience (IOE) can result in severe consequences, including dismissal. A firm landing may warrant a warning; a hard landing could end your training altogether. Ironically, once on the line, I encountered pilots whose performance didn’t reflect the so-called “high standards” used to justify such harsh treatment in training. The cockpit atmosphere is overwhelmingly negative, with many pilots expressing frustration and distrust toward management. EVA’s CRM — particularly with cabin crew — is extremely poor, contributing to a toxic operational environment. Most concerning is the company’s approach to safety. The Safety Culture at EVA Air is among the worst I have seen. Voluntary safety reports — which should be protected by anonymity and immunity — can lead to retaliation. Management routinely ridicules pilots who have made honest mistakes during internal meetings and refuses to offer legal protection if pilot error results in a serious event. Public shaming tactics, such as displaying disciplinary actions on screens where pilots sign in, only reinforce the culture of fear. Compensation is another major issue. Salaries are disproportionately low considering the demands and risks of the job. It’s not sustainable or rewarding in the long term, which is why many pilots are actively seeking other opportunities or have already lined up training with other airlines.
Management needs a big change.
Unless you have absolutely no alternatives, I strongly advise against pursuing a career at EVA Air. If you do choose to join, ensure you have a well-prepared exit strategy from day one.

Education costs are quite high, criticism of students, education methods that focus on education, do not teach properly, study on their own, and education is not properly conducted at every training, and criticism and evaluation are mainly made. This is the culture of Eva Airlines and everyone acknowledges it, but everyone's hush. Everyone tacitly agrees that the funny part is that you have to endure criticism and pressure every time to become a pilot for Eva Airlines. A place to raise strong warriors. 787 has a very bad atmosphere than 777. The 787 has a very high failure rate and takes it for granted
If it doesn't change, the reputation so far will be damaged. I wonder if the pilot shortage will be resolved
Think and think really carefully and in depth. The training bond is significant. There's no turning back when you start.
1.8Captain - Former employeeRecommended to other Pilots Positive business outlookApproval of managementLine schedule is not tight.(training is not) Other than company pushing culture and life, rest is ok.
Standard exists only for simple normal procedure. Other than that different procedures with diff instructor during training. study by memory. No encouraging culture only push. A culture of hush. In comparing with other long haul flight airline, very low payment. High training bond 4yrs 60,000USD.(watch out. If u quit during training, you have to pay back really lot)
nothing
If you like to be treated strongly, This will be great opportunity.
