Pros

Technology leader of chip manufacturing, with good relationships to customers due to special business model which only focus on chip making for customer but not build its own IC products.

Cons

A company with plenty of rules to follow due to strict PIP policy. Which is good design for preventing business secret stolen by competitors but it really blocks cross-department cooperation.

Pros

Seldom do lay off, but is it true? Just simply always shortage of human resources, low pay and high working hours.

Cons

Low compensation and high working hours. Employer provides no flexibility.
