Pros

Get to know advance technology, try something new.

Cons

Horrible office politics. They don’t care meritocracy, or if it is good or bad for the company. they just care if you belong to their circle or not. Sincere advice to those being approached oversea talents ( non Taiwanese), they will never trust you. 50% oversea hire can only survive less than 2 years. They have 1000 way to make you feel depressed and had to get out. Work life balance is none, they monitor working hour weekly and use it as a metrics to judge you.

Thank you for your feedback. At TSMC, we do not tolerate discrimination, and we take allegations such as this extremely seriously. We provide multiple channels for employees or third parties to report inappropriate behavior and protect persons making reports or participating in investigations from retaliation. One such channel for employees is the “Ombudsman System” tool, which can be found within the Employee Voice Channels page. We encourage you to reach out through any of these channels so we can learn more about your situation, and we’ll promptly investigate it.
