Long hours, decent pay, no overtime
Long hours, decent pay, no overtime
The pay is decent, and coworkers are generally nice.
There are way too many managers, all bickering for no reason. Lots of long and unnecessary meetings, 50-60 hour work weeks. There is no overtime. Several departments are on-duty for Saturdays.
Hire more people, raise salaries (especially if not going to give overtime).

TSMC Interview Experiences
Engineer
Multi-interview process, mostly over Skype. Some had a translator to facilitate with personnel from Taiwan; others were with domestic/US employees. Overall positive and not super technical. Mostly interpersonal skills/behavior-based questions.
Engineer
Behavioral questions and asked if I was willing to work overnight shifts. Interviewers were nice and showed interest in my experiences. Did not get a second round offer. Overall experience was good.
Engineer
Questions about the company. Hardly any technical questions. Mostly just, "What do you know about us?" A hard-to-understand Taiwanese individual. It's alright; I didn't want to be overworked by them anyway. Best of luck to anyone being hired.
