Bests place to work!

Business Outlook

Pros

Globalfoundries is the most competitive and the most interesting place to work in. Previously I've worked for another big company, but I never so much opportunities to express my knowledge and to upgrade my professional and personal skills. Surrounding of friendly and very professional colleagues makes working atmosphere very family and pleasant for working.

Cons

Family members sometimes suffer when you trying to switch back from work to home.

High potential, unlikely to be realized

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work, technically challenging and sophisticated. Work with some of the best minds in the business. Compensation and benefits can be decent, if your manager sticks up for you.

Cons

Very poor life-work balance. Poor management, often mandating impossible targets and chewing out teams that can't achieve them. Clash of differing cultures, largely unresolved, leading to a working style of confrontation instead of collaboration. Employees are treated like slaves, or at least interchangeable commodities. There is pressure to not increase head count, accompanied by ever-increasing workload. No bonuses or salary increases in the last year. HR continually tries to stiff the employees, short changing them on salaries, raises and reviews. HR tries to run the business too.
