Pros

Pay & benefits are good on paper, some coworkers and direct managers are good.

Cons

Micromanaging, scope-creep, disrespect, narcissism, unreasonable, ridiculous, unrealistic, uncooperative, untrained, defunct, miscommunication, discontent, yelling, bickering, survival, hopelessness - all words that describe this place and ones personal experience, especially these past months with changes that come with the name change from WaferTech to TSMC Washington.

Pros

Great team but they an are all leaving Your pay will be at industry standard but nothing else will.

Cons

Too many to list, they will lie to you constantly. Safety is jeopardized every time you walk on site, chemical leaks lack of true safety culture. Milestones are put far ahead of safety concerns so often that many of the workers are now considering it normal. It’s very sad and incredibly Toxic to careers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefit might be good

Cons

Working as a Facilities Services Coordinator at TSMC has been a deeply unsatisfying experience. The company's work environment is toxic, filled with constant competition and a lack of collaboration. The pressure to meet unrealistic targets and the absence of work-life balance have taken a toll on my mental well-being. While TSMC is known for its technological advancements, the negative aspects of the work environment overshadow any positives. It is crucial for TSMC to address these issues and create a more positive and supportive atmosphere for its employees.
