Pros

TSMC is a "famous" company in Taiwan and it does make a lot of profit by making IC chips!

Cons

Process Integration Engineers are 24/7 on call. 80% of engineers get off work at 8:30pm~10:00pm which means work life are unbalanced. We have a fast turnover rate. In my team, there are 4 engineers. The oldest engineer is 33 years old and my boss is 37 years old.
