GlobalFoundries reviews

Where to start... -The CEO refuses to acknowledge the +26% attrition rate when asked during "All Hands Meetings". The constant replacement of working level employees hinders the completion of projects since knowledge is never retained from the previous employees. -HR has no focus on retaining talent and would rather try to acquire talent. I'm not trained in HR practices but it is common knowledge that retaining talent is cheaper than hiring. HR freely gives out signing and relocation bonuses to try to attract talent as nobody wants to come here. -With the generosity to new hires you think that it would be the same for employees who have accomplished things for the company but its not the case. Raises ranged from 1-3% and bonuses were minimal. -No Career progression. Within my department not a single person received a promotion yet 5+ new hires were brought in at higher roles with zero experience in some cases. -No Accountability- People have no problem committing to a date but are rarely ever able to meet it. This is a huge problem and makes forecasting impossible. Don't believe the GLOBALFOUNDRIES propaganda that circulates in the Times Union. Yes they created a lot of jobs, but how many of them are for US citizens? Unfortunately yield isn't scored like golf...

Low work life balance for MOC employees. Shift schedule rotates every 3 months from night to day so it is hard to join any teams or schedule classes to get your masters unless it’s online. Never receive full bonuses estimated in your sign on contract. Bonus program is geared toward compensating management versus individual contributors. Entry Level Engineers, Grade 4, can get up to 5% of their salary in bonus whereas the higher grade levels are looking at 20%+. Consider a fair bonus compensation package, giving employees all the same %, managers will still get more! Although I am not a woman, it is unfortunate to say that I do not believe they are treated fairly within our group. They (women) are constantly overlooked for promotion and in a top heavy management company, no positions in the group are held by a female. Women, STAY AWAY! Even though engineering is in your title, you won’t be able to apply any of your knowledge at work let alone have the ability to make any decisions yourself. Team is extremely micromanaged. Your 12-hr shift will look like this: manual dispatch to tools (since automation can’t be trusted at a multi-million dollar factory and no one is actively trying to fix it), be the go between for the module section managers and AME teams (reject tool time requests regardless if they are warranted), manual dispatch to tools. No team building, extremely low morale. HR is useless, don't waste your time. They don't address any issues. Ranking and Review takes over 6 months!
