Good for recent college graduates but lacks continuous career opportunities.

Applications engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The starting pay is way better than most jobs in Taiwan, but not good enough compared to other big enterprises here. There is a lot of flexibility because the average age of the managing team is very younger, but that also could be a weak point as well.

Cons

There is room for senior management to improve. The leaders need to be more insightful and pragmatic.
