Pros

A foreign company with strong capital and advanced technology

Cons

I can't tolerate overwork and 24-hour shifts, and TSMC's top-down culture leaves little room for employee empowerment and investment. As a technical engineer, I feel that I have been deprived of power, undervalued, and made decisions without taking into account the professional knowledge and insights of those directly involved in the work.

Pros

- Advanced technology and equipment. - Competitive compensation package.

Cons

Working at TSMC is often hindered by a lack of clear communication channels. The company fails to establish effective channels for communication, resulting in information gaps, miscommunication, and inefficiencies. Important updates, announcements, and decisions are often not communicated in a timely or comprehensive manner, leading to confusion and a lack of alignment among employees. This lack of clear communication hampers productivity, collaboration, and overall organizational effectiveness. Moreover, the absence of open and transparent communication channels inhibits feedback and idea-sharing, hindering innovation and improvement within the organization. TSMC needs to prioritize establishing clear communication channels by implementing tools, platforms, and processes that facilitate effective communication at all levels of the organization. By improving communication, TSMC can enhance collaboration, alignment, and overall employee engagement.

Pros

It is a famous company.

Cons

I can't stand the toxic corporate culture any more. There's a clique of "favorite" employees who are treated better and given preferential treatment over others. Also, employees are expected to be available at all times, through late nights and weekends, with no regard for personal time.
