Pros

The benefits at GLOBALFOUNDRIES are fantastic, including reimbursement of some gym member, and the pay is competitive.

Cons

Still in start-up phase, so things are somewhat unorganized, and being restructured. Compressed work week is strange, 12 hour shifts 3-4 days a week.

Not paid on time is deal breaker

Pros

Im struggling to think of them. Pay scale for experienced people maybe.

Cons

lack of pay on time, management is lackluster. Ive worked here almost 5 years. I've had four reviews. Three out of my four reviews I have exceeded expectations on my performance review. I have not been promoted nor been seriously considered for any management positions. When I ask what can I do to reach the next level be that in a tech role or non exempt, I'm told to keep doing what I'm doing. Over my almost five years here we've been forced to use vacation for cost savings three times. This most current time this month. there are four months left in the year and we have to sue 80 hours of vacation before the year is up. If you dont have 80 hours you have to use what you have. I've worked all over the country in this industry. In over 15 years I have never not gotten my pay on time. We did not get our pay this week on time. We were told it was a processing issue. No company that has a 7-9 billion $ fab has any excuse for their people not being paid on time. We were told it may take a day to reach our account. Well were paid on Friday. That means The entire malta campus will not be paid until Monday which would be the next Business day. This is unacceptable

Pros

There are some good training programs for new college graduates and other people with little work experience. If you are a high performer you can go far in the company as long as you play by their rules.

Cons

They grade on a curve so if you are on a team of all high performers, someone will have to be rated low even if they outperform someone on another team who gets a high rating.
