TSMC reviews

I’ve been working for TSMC for about one year now. There are pros and cons here like any other company. My first impression after three months at TSMC was feeling challenged but fulfilled. All challenges forced me to learn and understand the diversity in this company. I don't necessarily agree with the work culture 100% but I do respect the challenge that TSMC is facing in establishing a Fab in a foreign country from the ground up. If you like challenges and self-growth, TSMC will provide you with that in your career path plus great compensation and benefits.

1. Compensation: Great salary and bonuses. TSMC provides above-market pay (more than other semi-companies) for most of its employees including technicians, engineers, and managers. The relocation package they provided was over-the-top generous and really helped me settle into the greater Phoenix area 2. Corporate culture: feedback-heavy culture but emphasized commitment, low-key, and pursuit of excellence. It took me a little bit to get used to the "continuous improvement" culture of TSMC as you will always get more feedback than compliments in this company. It can be mentally tough in the beginning but will eventually build your character and force you to be the best version of your professional self. Commitment-wise, TSMC really emphasizes the value of keeping you word to your clients, suppliers, managers, and subordinates. This means going above and beyond for everything you promised to turn in. This can be very stressful at times but i grew tremendously under this corporate culture. Low-key, TSMC values humbleness and having a low-key attitude. Though with the good compensation, some of its entry-level employees and first-line manager can be seen as show-offs at times; the majority of management and senior leaders are humble and down-to-earth people that truly value integrity and doing the right thing. This also means giving out zero to nothing of press releases about any contribution TSMC provided. Lastly, the pursuit of excellence. This is very similar to the feedback culture, TSMC brings out the best of you by always chasing after excellence. From product quality, wafer yield, to any deliverable you have to hand in; this company asks you to turn in the best version possible. In all honestly, I believe that's what put TSMC above its competitors and what will help to continue its leadership. 3. Work & Career: being the most advanced semi-company and getting to work with the top silicon valley clients, like Apple, AMD, and Nvidia, all at once brings me excitement when going to work. Knowing that I am playing with the most advanced technology ever existed also challenges me to do better. No matter the scope of my job, I am constantly working with different equipment engineers, process engineers, and sometimes facility engineers to resolve probably the world's toughest problem.
