I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TSMC (Hsinchu) in Dec 2020
Interview
Interviewed on Skype with three people for around an hour. They were all friendly and explained about the position. Focus on behavioral questions and explaining your resume. They won't ask you technical questions about the role unless you already have experience about it.
