Pros

Good compensation and benefits, world class cafeteria, great tenants

Cons

New leadership only hired people he ever worked with in Fishkill. If you are not from the same company, you are nobody and will be difficult to be in the circle of trust. Extremely difficult to work with the manufacturing operations. Almost the whole team is from Singapore. They refuse to work with other department. Many have provided feedback to the site leadership and HR, but unfortunately, the situation is not getting any better.

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.
