GlobalFoundries reviews

One common theme been: career advancement is a joke; terrible attrition rate; Favoritism, Bullying, Intimidation; nepotism runs rampant; “Keep promotions equitable and fair throughout, no more golden children”. Are we better now? Post-merger integration brought extra layers of management, at higher pay grades plus flexible work arrangements; others must work long hours at lower grades and learn how to develop emotional intelligence.

This company doesn't intend on staying in the locations it bought from IBM. They knew from the 4th quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015 that sales projections would fall drastically short. This is when the IBM sale finally went through to buffer poor company earnings. They now have the intellectual property and some of the process people they need. This place is slowly being strangled. Global has no intention of actually running it just letting it run out so to speak. Global may sell to the Chinese soon anyway. The acquisition of Micron was blocked and the Chinese are desiring 14nano-fet technology to stay current. You can guarantee you'll have to work longer and harder with no upper management support while the Fabrication plant falls down around your ankles. It is slowly progressing to a U.S. based sweatshop. There is an importation process that IBM started, and Global continues, that uses U.N. and U.S. gov't funds to bring lower wage employees in from around the world. Global did this at my friends plant in Dresden Germany and when the German people protested a year or two ago the "padded" government officials used the press to accused them of being aligned with the Third Reich. Prepare to work 2-3 times harder for as much or a little more than what you were making. Is it actually worth it considering the chemicals and other work hazards you are exposed to in this industry?
