Terrible place to work

Process engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are no Pros to mention.

Cons

Managers do not manage, encourage or guide employees. Raises are rarely above 2%. GF believes itself to be on the same level as Intel or TSMC. They are not. But since they think they are, they act like they are, and it makes life there very difficult.
