Pros

Good prospect of business in future 5 years

Cons

1. Toxic workplace. Group bullying. Management team lack of integrity. 2. Beware of any compensation they said. TSMC’s management tend to be cheating and dishonest about total package especially the bonus. My salary was 17% less than what they suggested during job offering. My annual performance was meeting expectations (S) and the company’s revenue has been growing more than 34% in 2024 with 56% of profit margin. However, the bonus I received have never met what they said. 3. Rely on informal communications. Lack of open dialogue. If you don’t speak mandarin, highly likely you will be isolated in any critical discussions. 4. Flattering to the management is the single most important skill instead of presenting any professional, 5. Horrible senior management team. They’re never transparent and always have hidden agenda. Always hypocritical in any critical discussions.

Pros

TSMC looks good on a resume

Cons

My contract (through TSMC) was originally 6 months. Instead of hiring me on Full time, they have tacked on 3 90 day extensions, with a revolving door of expectations. They always change the goal at the last minute, and fail to communicate these changes until you find out that you are being extended. They do not allow personal phones past any of the security gates, and are extremely strict regarding anything they do. This includes sharing of basic information you need to do your job. Management is a joke, the allegations in the clase action going on are real. The cleanroom is hot as heck, and kept humid. They have two single drinking fountains that serve all 4 floors of the cleanroom. OSHA anyone? Prepare to only do PMs and make sure you are hydrated enough to spend 15 hours of your 13 hour shift in the cleanroom. Exposure to toxic chemicals and gasses is one open chamber and breath away, as PAPR and other proper PPE usage is rare. The number of people who have died on site or been injured here is abnormally high for this industry. Money, PM completion, and daily photos of trash you pick up in your module all come before safety. This company will not work with you when it matters, image and reputations are at the forefront of this political environment. Management has no effin clue on how to work in America.
