Pros

Possible chance to work with latest semiconductor technology. Maybe some liberty to choose what you work on. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Management at this remote & separate TSMC division is poor and overly political. Decisions are slow to come and most times politically driven. Parent company (TSMC-Taiwan) imposes heavy restrictions on tech info access among employees which makes job difficult and limits ability to succeed and advance. Information restrictions are used by management & other politicians to serve own personal agendas. Company in general is not interested in input from low level employees, this company is very heriarchical even at this US location. Rewards are not based on merits but rather politics. Parent company penny pinches everything which makes getting anything from the smallest tools to software or hardware often a long and futile process. There is no local or even US based HR serving this center and this is abused by management.

Pros

good salary comparing to most company in Taiwan, benefits also outstanding. Boss always ask you to have vacation as much as possible....

Cons

too much work, work-life balance isn't easy, routine job, not creative at all. Training at the beginning isn't enough, always saying like this: Learn when you are doing your job. The profession that you learn from company isn't easily allied to job in other company, unless you go to another semiconductor company.
