Such a Massive Disappointment

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the "working" people are great! Benefits are good.

Cons

NO career path at all. Need new HR leadership. Get qualified people that we can trust!!! Stop hiring Directors and VPs! Too many technically trained people and not enough management trained people. Just because someone has the technical skill, that does not make them a manager!! Management alone is a skill and more than half of all managers have never taken one management course.....insane! Stop hiring people you don't need and use the people you have...you have sooooo many people.

Pros

There are no good reasons to work here.

Cons

They do not invest in their employees They do not pay their bills, supplies want cash up front. They have layoffs and then two months later have multiple jobs posted with the title “New College Graduate”. Search “Globalfoundries Lay-off” and then search for job opportunities.

Pros

Globalfoundries offered a good salary and benefits, too bad they could not execute on their mission. At best right now, they have at best a puncher's chance of staying in business in their present form now that the shareholder has pulled funding.

Cons

As seen by the recent spin off of the ASIC group, the company is going to be broken up and sold piecemeal. Hard to know if anyone is safe.
