      Pros

      Comp is ok, but lags other large companies in the US.

      Cons

      Taiwanese style management is broken. Poor working environment. Cramming into an elevator with 20 other people in the morning. Cafeteria food that makes you sick every day. No parking if you don't get there by 7:30AM (nice way for the company to get you to come in early). You don't get to use your vacation days. This entire system is broken. You should not come to TSMC if you have a decent job working in the states. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. And also, they work hard to make sure that you can't leave the job (play interference with potential employers, cancel any days off so you can't go interview, etc).

      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.
