I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TSMC (Phoenix, AZ) in Jun 2024
Interview
Two 1:1 interview with hiring manager and another manager. Pretty straightforward, technical, behavioral and scenario based questions. Both managers seemed nice. They asked about things from your grade to your experience in photolithography and my knowledge of chip fabrication.
They want to know if you're willing to work weekends/ late when need arises. Work 9am - 6pm
It was an hour interview with the group engineer manager. He is a Taiwanese staff that was dispatched to the U.S. plant to assist with its construction. He might interview in Mandarine after half of the interview if you can speak that.

Question 1
If you receive offers from both TSMC and Intel, and Intel offers a 30% higher salary than TSMC, which one would you choose?
I applied online. I interviewed at TSMC in Mar 2021
Interview
2 round. 1st with engineer + HR. 2nd, with engineer head.
They will ask about your experience, leadership ability, and purpose to join the company. They care a lot about technical details and your problem-solving/process development strategy. They will not email you if you get rejected.
