A former TSMC employee in the U.S. has aired grievances on Reddit, highlighting a culture clash between TSMC’s Asian corporate practices and American workplace norms. Criticisms include disorganized training in Taiwan, long working hours (14-16 hours daily) in the U.S. fabs, potential biases in hiring practices, and alleged discrimination. The post describes a “toxic” environment with dysfunctional management, leading to high employee turnover.
