How employees describe working at GlobalFoundries
Great place to build a career.
I meet most if not all of my team before signing on
Review from Engineering Dept
My team used to very collaborative and fun, but my boss quit and the replacement person was pretty incompetent and a strong pushover. He doesn’t set clear goals for the team so I feel like we are always jumping around to different projects without closing anythin
Genuine people that are nice to be around
Review from Engineering Dept
Happy to work. Good benefit Team work
