Pros

1. Compared to most other companies in Taiwan the pay is good. 2. Leading technology if work in R&D department 3. You can learn a lot if you want to.

Cons

1. No work life balance. At least 12hour a day. Frequently work during weekend. 2. High pressure. Everything has to be done really quickly. Schedule delayed is not acceptable. Any kind of mistake is not allowed. 3. Poor management. Most of the managers do not know how to manage. They just blame your work and criticize till they are happy. Minimum guidance and ask you to do a lot of work in very limited time. 4. Bad culture. A lot of people work only for theirselves. Full of selfish people. Especially management class. They only care about their career.
