I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TSMC (Hsinchu) in Jan 2021
Interview
Two managers and HR were present. There was a language barrier as they couldn't understand what I was saying and I often couldn't understand their explanations. Besides that it was okay.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TSMC (Phoenix, AZ) in May 2026
Interview
Gave the first round: Mostly Behavourial questions about the projects in my resume. Some situational questions. Interview lasted for around 30-35 mins. level of difficulty of the interview is moderate.
Very information and insightful into the industry and role that was being interviewed for. Interviewers were extremely approachable and made the interview process non-stressful. Questions that were asked were not the hardest but mainly gauge the thinking process of a potential candidate rather than judge them based on their previous works and educational background.
