Vantaggi
Get some experience in leading edge technology and then move on, to somewhere else. Or be part of the KC clan and get it all for doing nothing. The new GM is a visionary, we all believe he will make the right changes. He has started already, it is what the company needed. He is bringing in some very good talented folks with the drive to see the vision. More IBM folks are here now and they can see through the muddle. And they can guide the new GM though the pile of mess so things can go in the right direction.
Svantaggi
Human dignity is not part of the culture. If you are from Singapore and part of the KC clan, then you get whatever you want. So for the 99% that are struggling to get something and have to work 100% harder than the KC clan types. You have in one group almost everyone in management from Singapore and they have violated every single federal workplace law. But yet HR, will not act, why? Because they are part of the KC clan and believe it or not the KC doesn't want them back to their native Sunshine country. Some of these foreigners, are good, at giving the right folks the smile, only when it's to their benefit, then they turn around and brow beat everyone else in the organization. These Singaporean's are hypocrites! By the way, these clowns have green cards, almost as soon as they got here to the US, they have displaced Americans that can do the same job better. Maybe that explains the last few years of no forward progress with the company. Great companies would have terminated these Singaporean clowns several years back, but in all honestly, GlobalFoundries, pays so much in relocation costs, that they don't want to look bad when they have to let anyone go back to their native country.
