Passive-aggressive communication brings a lot of frustration to training
Passive-aggressive communication brings a lot of frustration to training
Relatively well-paid job, but that's it.
Passive-aggressive communication among peers prevents people from focusing at work, and it makes a lot of engineers feel frustrated. Most US trainees feel frustrated with their training done in Chinese, and their training progress is heavily dependent on the F18 buddy, not individual engineer capabilities. PMD is very vaguely judged and questionable. Employees have had a lot of issues with HR during their move to Taiwan.

TSMC Interview Experiences
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.
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
It was a basic behavioral interview over the phone to gauge my interest in the company, as well as see if I had basic knowledge about the role I was applying for.
