High base salary, work two days and rest two days, plenty of break time
Mealtimes are irregular. The work requires coordinating with partners. There are a lot of rules, and the mental pressure is high.
To put it nicely, it is an outsourced contractor for TSMC.
To put it less nicely, it is Marketech's own labor dispatch company.
It claims TSMC wages of NT$70,000 per person but only pays employees NT$37,000 (including the NT$5,000 TSMC allowance, meals, and shift work).
The company pockets the rest.
You can only reach NT$50,000–60,000 if you work overtime for the client four days a month.
Not really, haha. It’s just pretty satisfying to see the team lead looking livid every day—it’s like watching a show, haha.
I heard that team leads at P5 or 6 would snap at people, saying, “If you don’t like it, don’t do it. If you’re unhappy, quit,” hahahaha. No wonder the turnover rate is so high when they’re this emotional, heh.
As long as TSMC doesn’t fall, the TCM outsourcing department won’t fall.
There is overtime pay.
If you want to come for an interview, you don’t need to prepare (as long as you have graduated from university, any major is accepted, and you’re under 35). Men are practically guaranteed to get hired.
((There are limited openings for women; the standard is at least average-looking.))
There are multiple versions of the overtime-pay policy; see the discussion below.
If you accidentally come into contact with chemicals, you’ll be sent straight to the hospital (it has definitely happened before—don’t disbelieve it).
The benefits will only get worse, and there will be more and more rules.
There’s a group of newcomers inside, so having newcomers train newcomers makes it easy for mistakes to happen.
The training is just listening; afterward, they directly tell you to perform the tasks (with chemicals). Scary~~~!
Overtime is scheduled for you directly on the roster (they’re extremely short-staffed).
If you can’t work overtime that day, they’ll keep asking and asking.
If you can accept all of the above, as well as the additional shortcomings mentioned by previous employees, you’re warmly welcome with open arms (I believe you can do a very good job).
Basic overtime pay is provided, and you can also take time off in lieu. Whether the job is enjoyable depends on how the work is assigned.
There is less to do on the night shift, like security guards (a group of security guards).
Very important—I'll say it three times.
p5 (Audits that last forever; if you want to learn SOPs thoroughly, come on in.)
p6 (The supervisor is emotional. If you want to give it a try, come on in. The veteran employees are reassigned to different sites; sure enough, after one month, there's already a plan to move elsewhere.)
The future, p7, is very scary.
The salary is mediocre, starting at just over 30,000. Overtime pay depends on luck—anywhere from just over 1,000 to 6,000 per day is possible. The company benefits aren’t great, but they’re not terrible either. You’re nominally an engineer, but the work is more like that of a technician, so you can pad your résumé a bit. The job mainly involves physical labor, and turnover is fairly high. Those who want to join can, but you’ll have to endure wearing protective clothing for long periods while sweating profusely. That’s about it.
A 10-year account from working on-site at TCM
Benefits: So-so
Job content: All the required protective equipment is provided. Whether it is good or not depends on where you are stationed; TSMC’s protective equipment is quite good.
Transportation: Contractors have no guarantees, and parking spaces are extremely difficult to find.
Salary: Over 10 years, the average raise was NT$500.
Other: Guaranteed 12 months of annual salary (ha). Gift vouchers are given for the three major holidays and birthdays. It is normal not to receive a mid-year or year-end bonus; you only find out whether one will be paid the day before. The overseas travel subsidy is small and expensive.... Someone else can fill in the rest.
