The working hours in the company are definitely too high, but they do not have pay close to FAANG
A leading company in the semiconductor industry.
Rent and food are cheap in Taiwan.
Long working hours per day (above 13 hours per day is typical; they don't even count lunch and dining time as working hours).
Low base salary.
Military-style management.
Weird internal training policy.
No way to improve. The company is now rapidly expanding (going to have new fabs in Germany, Arizona, and Japan).
If they still use the same Taiwanese management style, no workers in those locations would accept it. It will eventually lead to some problems for recruiting.
