Pros

Seems stable, very low-maintenance, working with latest nodes, good place to learn and then move on, etc.

Cons

No career opportunities, the Ottawa office has no vision and thinks too cheap, TSMC does not know how to trust or operate remote offices, the ottawa office is very underwhelming when representing the TSMC brand in Canada.
