Pros

The salary package for manager level and lower level of life expenses in Taiwan.

Cons

- Fix salary represents only 20-30% of your total package, the rest will depend on your performance review which would impact the quarter bonus and annual bonus for the whole year. - Isolated and siloed organization with homogeneous culture make it feel like working in the military - Risk averse, resistant to change, creativity and innovation are not rewarded - HR function remains administrative for historical reason and the whole function carries the organizational frustration and anxiety acting as a scapegoat. - Performance management system is a black box, they practice forced ranking and it's an open secret, HR would never admit it to employees.
