Technical manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good medical insurance plan and stable job

Cons

1. Hardwork are not recognized since the big bosses are in Taiwan. 2. HR keep lying about good bonus and salary progression. Then you join and realize it's not just lower than what they said, but SUBSTANTIALLY lower. And later you find out HR here is so powerful that your boss can't even help you with a more reasonable pay. 3. Hours are long considering the poor salary. There are lots of meetings till night with the Taiwan people

Pros

The people at TSMC were very motivated and hardworking. The culture of the company is very united and everyone that works there is very passionate about what TSMC does. Facebook, gmail, and other "distracting" websites are blocked to promote efficiency.

Cons

There are very strict rules regarding usage of phones/computers etc. The work environment seems very stressful and the hours are very long.
