Great company to get your foot in the door to the industry, and to see you take most of the jobs you’ve had for granted. - Equipment Maintenance Technician GlobalFoundries Employee Review

Pros

Not the worst pay, we work less than half the year on shift work so that’s good. But that’s a lot of places.

Cons

Where to begin... Management. They don’t care about technicians. My MSM’s superior has no idea who else works under her. And it’s that way all the way to the top. Recently they hired a new msm for us and he’s more of a middle man. He doesn’t know how to manage people and relies solely on being his boss’ puppet. Bonuses are quarterly now, but they are minimal. Want a raise? Absolutely not! Your raise is based on a person 4 ranks above you that doesn’t know who you are or what you do, and most certainly doesn’t care. They’ll spread the budget evenly, even amongst the employees that are brought in at much higher pay levels and are being trained by junior people due to their lack of knowledge on anything. Interview was basically a conversation and not an interview. Micromanagement at its finest, with no willingness to change or listen to the people who are making the company the money.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
