Pros

Malta, New York site is very impressive - $15B site. Very well funded A lot of very bright and friendly engineers and managers

Cons

Business processes vary by department - no central quality organization at Malta site. GlobalFoundries is a conglomeration of companies that each have their own distinct cultures. Bureaucratic mentality prevails in much of the organization - it will be a long time before this organization can truly optimize - due to political conflict over customer interest. CYA mentality is present if not pervasive - for good reason. From a global market perspective, GF is the 3rd horse in a 3 horse race

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
