Pros

good people who are very smart & who want to do the right things, nice new bldg in Santa Clara, believe that new management will set company on the right track, investors have deep pockets & have been willing to spend

Cons

Management has been schizophrenic. Didn't manage start of company well, as it's hard to change a fab from a single-source to a multi-customer facility. Also, merger of Chartered into GLOBALFOUNDRIES wasn't handled well. At some point, investors MAY want a return on their money! Management turnover: 3 CEOs and 3 CFOs in my 3 years here - need some consistency in leadership. Too many VPs and above - trim down the C-Suite.

Pros

Easy to work since Samsung gives them technologies, good investors in Abu Dhabi was thankful, good vacation schedule is generous, too. Generous severance package was good as well.

Cons

Managers fires people too easily, don't understand what they wanted me to do since some managers were confused in managing us. The project I was involved got disappeared after they laid me off.
