      Pros

      1. Most people are friendly. 2. International team work.

      Cons

      1. Pay is low 2. Depends on team. May need to work overtime very often but there is little compensation and reward. 3. Factory-style workplace. Boss in Taiwan is mainly reponsibile for production, not R&D. He tends to focus on cost reduction. Your benefits may be sacrificed. 4. Need to go to office by 8am. Earlier than the average in this industry. 5. Higher-ups hope you to learn and do everything.

      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.
