Pros: Good pay and benefits. And Taiwanese people are great.

Cons: It will burn you out and destroy your liver.

Pros: Software and chips are eating the world.

Cons: Watch equipment efficiency with lots of KPIs. (Different KPIs but they mean the same thing.)

Pros: It's hard to find a job for a fresh graduate with that salary, like TSMC. You can talk to people, not just your manager and colleagues, but also the vendors.

Cons: Working at TSMC is just like working at any other big company. Although an equipment engineer, especially at a junior level, is hardly able to contact any political issues, the rules fill into every corner of your life. Good and bad. If you would like to have a job with more individuality, not here. People here are afraid of making mistakes, so they try less than they wish.
