CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you able adopt the working environment (strong office politic) in Global Foundries for few years, you will not have problem to work at any companies in the world.

Cons

Most of the bosses are considered well trained in Tai-Chi course, they are too defensive to accept the task and will try the best to push out whatever task.

Newly forming with the best intentions but the worst mid level management in history!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great area to live and raise a family. Everyone is very friendly and nice. Brand new state of the art factory. Very competitive pay. Potential to become a great company.

Cons

If you are not a manager they do not listen to your advice and suggestions. Upper management makes decisions that affect the entire factory yet do not seek input for those that it may effect before the decision is made. Management is so busy going to meetings that the workers are free to do what ever they want. Some work hard while others do nothing. AMD legacy employees can not accept feedback from people who came from better companies.

Pros

A great place to meet talented intelligent people. Start up mentality- work outside your job description and perform duties unrelated to your job scope

Cons

How many CEO's have we had? Wait... how many CFO's have we had. Ah... it doesn't matter. Who is really running the show...no one really knows.
