innovative and highly stressful, but good for entry-level engineers interested in CMOS
- Be able to access leading-edge CMOS technology development.
- Enough engineering resources to realize your good ideas.
- Relatively good salary in Taiwan.
- High stress due to a tight schedule, especially if you have a demanding boss (common cases).
- Long working hours (over 12 hours).
- Slow promotion.
Managers cannot directly disemploy disqualified engineers with bad performance and behaviors. It's a nightmare for those who work hard.

TSMC Interview Experiences
Software Engineer Intern
Online OA (3 general coding questions on HackerRank, about easy to medium) -> 1 online interview with hiring manager -> Onsite personality test -> HR interview -> Offer
Quality Management Specialist
The first round with the hiring manager was more of a casual conversation, which lasted around an hour. The second round, with two recruiters, tested my Japanese language skills and asked me behavioral questions.

The HR and hiring managers were extremely nice. The interview questions were not difficult to answer. I found the interview to be very comfortable. I needed to take the English exam (high school level) and the aptitude test.
