GlobalFoundries reviews

Due to the company doing poorly, there were layoffs resulting in those remaining having to accept additional responsibilities. Way too many meeting everyday resulting in loss of productivity.

Company is manufacturing driven which causes tension between engineering and operations because many working for engineering are not used to the style/demand but has gotten significantly better over the years since the company started. Process engineers, layer owners, and equipment owners often put in a lot of extra time to resolve issues around the clock to provide runpath to areas of low capacity. Company is running lean with regards to employees, so many are burdened with as much work as they can handle if not more (but management also understands if not everything can be met due to manpower). Ratings and promotions conform to a bell curve instead of strictly by performance which prevents deserving people from getting better ratings or their promotions sooner.
