Pros

Typical shift is 12 hours long, alternating between three and four days every other week including breaks

Cons

TSMC's relentless pursuit of productivity has created a severe work-life imbalance. As an equipment engineer, I have been subjected to long working hours, tight deadlines, and constant pressure to deliver results. This unrelenting work culture has taken a toll on my physical and mental well-being. TSMC needs to prioritize the well-being of its employees by promoting a healthier work-life balance, implementing flexible working arrangements, and fostering a supportive environment that values the overall happiness and satisfaction of its workforce.
