I applied through college or university. I interviewed at TSMC (Hsinchu)
Interview
based on your master thesis and projects, they will ask numerous questions including device physics and knowledge about material science. In addition, HR will require you to define your goal in this job. Moreover, there is an English test from global english.
In total two phases, after their CV screening. Really interested in getting to know you and making you feel heard. Explained everything in detail and plenty of time to ask questions. Timeline for their decision was also clearly stated.
really quick to schedule first round of interview, which was in person. second round was online with HR, and it took a bit of time to schedule. it took quite a bit of time to get an offer letter.
