      Toxic workplace and horrible culture

      Procurement manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good prospect of business in future 5 years

      Cons

      1. Toxic workplace. Group bullying. Management team lack of integrity. 2. Beware of any compensation they said. TSMC’s management tend to be cheating and dishonest about total package especially the bonus. My salary was 17% less than what they suggested during job offering. My annual performance was meeting expectations (S) and the company’s revenue has been growing more than 34% in 2024 with 56% of profit margin. However, the bonus I received have never met what they said. 3. Rely on informal communications. Lack of open dialogue. If you don’t speak mandarin, highly likely you will be isolated in any critical discussions. 4. Flattering to the management is the single most important skill instead of presenting any professional, 5. Horrible senior management team. They’re never transparent and always have hidden agenda. Always hypocritical in any critical discussions.

      Compact and chaotic work.

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You never know that you can actually squeeze out more time to accomplish things that initially seemed impossible.

      Cons

      The work is tight and chaotic, with orders often changing abruptly, and there is no standardized approach to personnel promotions.

      Bad work culture

      Process engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Money and the most updated experience relative to the industry

      Cons

      Military style work culture, lots of KPIs for people, which means that every individual is treated and expected to work as a tool, that's just the culture here, it's in the directors heads, no one can talk to them and everyone fears them. CEO said in a motivational speech: do you know what does an exempt emoyee mean? It means that you're exempt from labor laws, that's his take on it. When he was asked how do we acheive work/life balance? His answer was work hard, play hard, how does he expect his employees to play hard when work hard means working from 8am and staying until 8-10pm everyday, sometimes 6 days a week if you have a weekend shift? This leaves 0 time for life. Now the problem is that this is the CEO take on things, and it resonates through the hierarchy of management until it reaches the employees, so imagine how the work culture is like. People get threatened with their bonuses for literally everything, it's their way of retaliation. You do whatever you're told to the way THEY expect you to do it, never object anything or say a word, or you get a huge pay cuts.
