A stable and large company, but working hours could be long
A stable and large company, but working hours could be long
(1) This is a very large company and has many different kinds of jobs. You could learn things in many different departments.
(2) Very stable company. You won't be laid off until you do something terribly wrong.
The working hours could be very long sometimes for an engineer. The average working hours are 8:30 AM till 8:00 PM-9:00 PM. When abnormal things happen in the Fab, you might need to work till 11:00 PM for two or more weeks.
After mid-2008, the stock bonus was cut to 60% of the past. However, working hours did not change.
Show more respect to engineers.
Encourage engineers to have creative ideas.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. It will have 2 interviews: * 1st interview with HR * 2nd interview with the section manager (1 from Taiwan, 1 from Japan) After that, HR decides the salary and discusses it with you.
Equipment Engineer
The interview was simple and straightforward. It mainly revolved around the ability to work in a high-demand, stressful production factory that is dealing with one of the most advanced technologies we have these days.
