Business Outlook

Pros

Good medical insurance plan and stable job

Cons

1. Hardwork are not recognized since the big bosses are in Taiwan. 2. HR keep lying about good bonus and salary progression. Then you join and realize it's not just lower than what they said, but SUBSTANTIALLY lower. And later you find out HR here is so powerful that your boss can't even help you with a more reasonable pay. 3. Hours are long considering the poor salary. There are lots of meetings till night with the Taiwan people

Business Outlook

Pros

Good business outlook in the near future Great total compensation in local job market Relatively young workforce You will be surrounded by some of the most talented people in the country

Cons

People waste time on things not directly related to business Poor work/life balance, management expect you to get things done no matter what Difference of total compensation between people of the same job grade is not significant, even if you outperform most others. Advancement into manager takes a long time (7+ years), I don't think there is a 'fast-track' system in this company.
