Loser company

Senior engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Every part of the company sucks. We get technology only when copying and Samsung yells at us for doing a clear job. Ops is good only when there's no wafers. Our Ops guys know nothing but whining. We spend money like a bachelor party at strip club stupid. we're all miserable too.

Cons

The worst fab in the world. Only the vendors are happy ( and rich). Everyone else run away. Twenty words is the minimum.

Unfair to old employee after IBM integration

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are going to retire soon and/or do not want to spend much time on work, this will be a perfect place. All you need to do is to argue and point fingers.

Cons

People from IBM get much higher title rank than their equivalent counterparts from GF. Obviously GF management does not give a damn about how their employee feel. I am going to leave the company for sure.
