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.

Pros

We are the first globally true pure play “floundries”. We managed to flounder through every step in every fab location of our company in the world. We will be number one after probably the judgment day. As an engineer I was never a believer of God. But spending time here has taught me to be introspective and realize that I am in hell. So by logic there has to be a heaven. We have hit absolutely the last circle of hell and there is no way but to go upwards to heaven. If you are trapped in a sinking ship and there are no life vests, you try hard to save the ship and help fellow workers trying to do the same. Mostly the people I have worked with are great. If you thought the movie “Office Space” is hilarious, think again. Glofo offers some of the funniest moments for everyday entertainment. If someone can compile daily events it can be the greatest sitcom that ever will be. But what happens in Glofo stays in Glofo. IBM mafia has now almost replaced the Chartered and Korean mafia previously in charge. But don't expect any better, or you will be subject to rigorous mandatory EQ trainings as punishment.

Cons

Well, nothing really although it's a bit cold in Malta area and cleaning snow is hard. Oh, BTW did I mention, work is humiliating at best.

Pros

Investors have contributed billions of dollars to build this company and have created a whole new fab from scratch, bringing thousands of new manufacturing jobs to the U.S. Corporate office is small enough that it feels like a friendly place.

Cons

A tough market to enter. Not sure investors or executive management are able to make the company successful. Management tries to save costs through the usual means (from headcount to travel to small potatoes stuff), while recruiting executives they hope will provide salvation. Hierarchical culture.
