Pros

As an engineer, work time is flexible and reasonable.

Comfortable, relaxing working environment: Aeron chair, Macbooks, Apple Thunderbolt 27" or Dell monitor.

Management level & PMs are very reasonable and willing to communicate with engineers.

Colleagues are very friendly.

Perks are really good:

  • Free lunch, drinks, and snacks
  • Free fruits twice a week
  • Free half-hour massage twice a week
  • Fitness reimbursement of 1500 TWD/month ...
Cons
  1. No overtime pay (but the work time is really flexible as an engineer; you can control your work time to avoid working overtime).
  2. Salary is too low, especially when considering the required talent level.
  3. Pretty hard to get promoted.
