GlobalFoundries reviews

They use a bell curve for review grading on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being high. Almost everyone gets a 3 and some people have to get 1 or 2. In theory, it could work but in practice it leads to manager meeting where everyone is pointing out the faults of the other staff in order to get higher ratings for their team. Other companies have abandoned this years ago. HR should come into the groups and work with managers daily to help them set good goals and manage people. I had a new HR person 9 months ago and she has never come talk to any of us! My staff don't even know what she looks like or remember her name. The three 300mm fans should work together but aren't measure on that and everyone is micromanaged by metrics. So they all go their own way and there is little sharing of efforts. Upper management tells staff that they need to be like Samsung workers and do more than one job. But people already are in lots of areas. The Technology group had lots of open positions and money but everyone else is losing positions and people don't get replaced. When someone leaves everyone just gets more work they will be critiqued for not doing well.

Very poor communication across modules Quick promotions with no increase in compensation 24/7 on call schedule Poor direction for progress that changes weekly
