Pros

1. Large company makes it easier when dealing with vendor. 2. Mediocre income so that you can maintain life in Taiwan in a slightly easier way.

Cons

1. No training at all (in my department) 2. Poor management caused by political issue. 3. Here you don't strike a balance, cause you are not going to enjoy your work, and you have no life.
