Pros

Good working hours in Taiwan. Generally from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Official time is 5 p.m., but you know in Taiwan, it is usually not possible to leave company on time. Compare to some other tech companies in Taiwan the working hours/salary is relatively good. If you do not want to have too much uncertainty in your next half life, because It is a big company and very rich. They have competitive product lines. You don't need to worry about too much about the business.

Cons

Good working hours depends on the team you are chosen. Team leader has the power to decide the performance, which means the bonus and adjustment of salary you get. So the Pros is definitely depends on your team leader's working style. Before you decide to join this company/team, make sure you realize the working style of your specific team. Some other teams they do work to 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. EVERYDAY. Besides salary and working hours, if you want to have been promoted in a fast pace. You probably will be disappointed. There are too many people who have worked here for 8 or 10 years or more.
