      Pros

      Great Benefits and great culture. Management is really easy to work with. I like coming to work knowing where the company is going and knowing they are growing.

      Cons

      Always work to do, I dont see this as a con because it is job security. I do believe they could be more competitive with compensation.

      Bad culture in Taiwan branch

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Stable working environment and salary in Taiwan. - Provide two-years-free dorm for new employees.

      Cons

      - The company create an image that this is a company where you can have work-life-balance. But the truth is the manager will force you to work overtime. They don't judge your accomplishment by your working result but is by "how hard" you show in working. Also, the atmosphere is serious and little laughing in company. - Too many politics. - Taiwan branch is totally a Taiwanese company. Very small chance that you can cooperate with engineers oversea. Find somewhere else if you are expecting to experience multinational company culture.

      Pros

      The benefits are top notch. There are a lot of really great people working there. Easy to get behind the products since they are really good.

      Cons

      Does not empower management to make decisions, many items require VP approval making management over paid babysitters. Not much growth potential. Poor record keeping and IT infrastructure. In many ways still operates like a small company. Extremely under staffed and resourced, it takes months to get anything done if it requires assistance from outside departments.
