Sexual harassment

Communications

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of good people but they don’t stay because the culture is toxic.

Cons

Many instances of sexual harassment by senior male executives toward women were swept under the rug. Accuser is reassigned, moved or quits but just a slap on the wrist for the executive. In one instance, the male executive even got promoted after the harassment was brought to light!

GlobalFoundries Response

We take allegations of this nature very seriously and encourage our team members to contact HR and/or the ethics department directly, ensuring a thorough and impartial investigation.

Pros

- I've had an amazing experience at GlobalFoundries. Starting as an intern, I didn't expect to keep up with everything, but the company/manager had a lot of resources to help me, - Opportunities for career growth and professional development are abundant. I believe you can also join a rotational program for Finance, if you want a change of pace! - Great benefits!

Cons

- Sometimes the workload can be overwhelming, especially during peak project times, But it's still nothing unexpected.
