Pros

It is similar to other companies . No insight here

Cons

TSMC offers limited growth opportunities for its employees. The promotion process is slow and favoritism is prevalent. Additionally, the compensation is below industry standards, making it difficult to attract and retain talented individuals. Overall, it's not a company where you can expect to advance your career or be fairly compensated for your efforts.

Pros

A good opportunity to learn in semiconductor industry.

Cons

I worked at TSMC for two years, and during that time, I was constantly frustrated by the lack of organization and clear direction. The company seemed to be in a constant state of chaos, with no clear strategy or plan for the future. The management was indecisive, and there was a lot of backtracking and changing of plans. It was very frustrating, and it made it difficult to do my job effectively.
