Pros

Vacation training in Taiwan for minimum 3 months.

Cons

Everything is bad here including the pay. Discriminating against everyone who isn’t Chinese or doesn’t speak Chinese. Most of the TW engineers don’t really know how to do their jobs so they rely on US counterparts heavily.

TSMC Response
2y
TSMC is deeply committed to workplace safety in all our facilities, along with each of our active construction projects, including TSMC Arizona. We take allegations of unsafe working conditions very seriously. To ensure we're constantly operating with the highest safety standards in mind, we have a voluntary partner safety agreement with the Arizona Department of Safety and Health (ADOSH). We are also regularly audited against known safety standards by ADOSH. Additionally, we conduct our own internal audits of safety records against state and national figures. In Arizona, our recordable safety incident rate is nearly 80% lower than state and national construction industry averages. We have had zero work-related fatalities, and any such incidents would be reported and investigated by ADOSH. These allegations are concerning and we invite you to contact p_tad@tsmc.com to provide more details.
