Pros

Free breakfast: day old bagels, steamed buns, and a selection of bread every morning, 2 pieces of free fruit every Wednesday, and milk (seriously HR is REALLY proud of that one). This company doesn't know how to trim the fat. If you're looking to take it easy and looking for a free ride this could easily be your ticket. Nearly all the departments have bumps on a log that everyone just tolerates but no one wants to fire even though they're not bringing anything to the table. Management wants to save face instead of getting rid of the dead weight. It's too hard for anyone to admit that someone was a bad hire.

Cons

The CEO thinks that 10lbs of oatmeal is a suitable anniversary gift to the entire company (On the upside local food banks got plenty of donations). This company is super Taiwanese so if you don't speak mandarin you'll have a difficult time communicating with over half the company. Be prepared to play a highly political game. This is a very hostile work environment and Charles actually likes having people pitted against each other. HR is totally useless. I've seen so many people being verbally abused by their bosses and even heard about people physically striking their employees. SMC is a very strange place to work, because you'll never work anywhere else where everyone is openly talking about wanting to leave or hear about so many people quitting without giving notice.

Pros

They give a competitive salary in some fields. A good place to get lost in if you find the right job. Since management has so little competence, it is easy to skate at your job if you just meet deadlines.

Cons

Benefits suck, probably the worst I've ever seen. Upper management is untrained and out of date with business practices. Employee morale low.
