Pros

Though TSMC is a foundry but the office and working environment are pretty friendly. 1. The package is competitive 2. The employee's welfare is good with quality food, gym, and coffee shop in the rest area. 3. The overtime is paid.

Cons

1. Most of the jobs need to work in morning and night shifts, even you are an senior engineer. 2. Lack of flexibility in the working environment. Most of time, you work by using software and PC to control the system. 3. Lack of life and work balance.

Pros

Nothing to note of pros except for 2.5x pay on holidays.

Cons

Horrible work culture, 13 hour shifts (they said it would be 12 but it varies on department), training lacks depth and true mentorship. Employees with higher seniority can say anything they want (like curse in your face and say serious insults about your ability while taking no accountability for their training). If you work OT they hate it and will get on you for it. If you leave the workplace because your shift is over but other technicians are still working on tools— you are expected to stay even if it drives you into OT. Everything about their structure is set up for a lose-lose situation. Many other cons.
