      Good payment

      Engineer technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For the typical university graduate not from a prestigious institution, willing to work overtime can result in an annual salary comparable to that of a manager in a typical small company.

      Cons

      Diligence at work is not important; only flattery can earn you favorable performance evaluations.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Starting pay decent for newly graduated engineers. Ok benefits.

      Cons

      Company seeks best candidates from universities for engineer roles (above 3.5GPA), yet pays them low and overworks them. Head hunter culture. Management known to blame new engineers for plant issues that have existed years before they even started with the company. Being on call, there were many times you are expected to respond to emergencies in the middle of the night on site (no compensation for this). Pay raises small compared with COLA. Promotions range from difficult to impossible for Americans. Company known to bring in workers from Taiwan to spy on American employees and report back to headquarters. Upper management tends to play favorites with Taiwanese workers. Have seen management unfairly discriminate American engineers, while favoring and assisting Taiwanese engineers in the same position (I experienced this myself). Working hard and putting the extra time in to learn as much as possible will not be acknowledged and compensated if your boss doesn’t like you.
