Pros

Lots of growth potential in semiconductor foundry business. Fab 8 in Malta NY is one of the largest private investments in manufacturing in US history. Lot of highly talented individuals who are determined to make this place succeed.

Cons

Lower, middle and upper level managers often hired from external companies with limited understanding of GLOBALFOUNDRES processes and systems. Complex systems with superficial focus on terms like 5Why, CANDO-5S, Lean 6Sigma, 8D, FMEA,etc, but in practice, actual engineering problem "solving" is limited. Limited training and mentorship for employees. High turnover.

Pros

Great team in Burlington. Diverse technology portfolio provides endless opportunity to learn.

Cons

Non-revenue support groups have small budgets and are seen as cost-burdens. Raises and promotions are behind the industry.
