GlobalFoundries Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked at GF for about a year now, right out of grad school (PhD). Great pay, great team, good future outlook, good work-life balance, challenging projects and future works. Being young and hungry, this is a great place to be. You will learn a lot from semiconductor veterans. You will have to work hard but at the end of the day, it feels good that you are riding on this adventure to the unknown future where Moore's Law slowing down equals plenty of opportunity (if you adapt and play the cards right)."

"1) I am an employee in Fab 8, GF in Malta, NY. This is a relatively young company with turbulent early years. However, things start to settle and morale has been improving. The outlook feels very positive. I indeed feel that GF has a lot of potential and opportunities. 2) Pay and bonus are generous. When normalized to the living expenses in upstate NY, my pay as someone just fresh out of college is very generous. 3) Work-life balance is there. But if you want to work hard, there are a lot of hard working people too. Some discuss about their works passionately in the office area. I like the atmosphere. 4) Some engineers are veterans in semiconductor field. For someone young like myself, I believe that I can learn a lot of stuff from this place. Well, generally, I feel lucky to get all this stuff above and to have the opportunity to work in this company."

"There are some very knowledgeable employees with many, many years of experience. Unfortunately, the company doesn't acknowledge experience and only focuses on recent college graduates which is hurting the company moral as well as yield."

"Horrible. I was a CS intern with no other CS majors nor even programmers to consult for my work. My manager had very little programming experience and I did not even have documentation to refer to for my primary assignment. My manager gave me vague specifications of a one man assignment for a server-hosted collaboration engine similar to that of Google docs, and was absolutely vacant from me for weeks at a time. Her desk was literally in front of mine, yet I was left to figure out both the assignment, and how to complete it all on my own."

"I found the company very challenging and competitive. Very proud of what we are doing, to be the best Foundry competing with TSMC and Intel."
