GlobalFoundries reviews

Everything else. Company still hostile, toxic and poisonous place to work, Management still stinks and cares very little for the real issue experienced therefore making dumb decisions driving talented people away and ruining already ruined company. Only reason it seems GF still exists as it is carried through by those nice, hardworking people who for some crazy reason still care, even though no one gives two shits about them. Sad, dark, boring, uninteresting, crappy, poisonous, nerve wreaking, stress inducing company who cares nothing for YOU. Unemployed or work for GF? Stay unemployed, find real company.

Many of the wrongs that ordinary employees experience can be traced to delusional and incompetent site management. Say a process can deliver certain metric. The manager sets a goal which is an order of magnitude higher and is genuinely surprised when it cannot be achieved. Then he rolls out a solution to the problem - more meeting, more reports, more powerpoints and even more micromanagement. He sets us an atmosphere where different departments have to fight like dogs for resources and then enjoys their squabble in daily meetings. It's amazing how hundreds of engineers' time and some of the most expensive equipment on Earth is being misused on the whims of a single person. Management patted themselves on the backs by paying bonuses without real merit. After the financial audit the company had to roll out austerity measures including mandatory vacations (which people had to work through at home anyways) and hiring freeze (while almost every engineer is putting 60+ hours work week). Bottom line: don't buy property in Malta. They can't continue to import technology from Dresden indefinitely. With zero output from TD the site will tank within a year.
