Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
The interview was held by 3 person and was over the phone. After brief discussion about my general background, the interviewers asked question about characteristics of a CMOS transistor, its working principle and tested my understanding of different characterization graphs. I was also asked to share my own thoughts on practical situations that engineers will face during working in GF.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 7 months)
The application process was glacial. I'm convinced that this is a tenacity test, to see how badly people want to work for the company. Having been hired I now know that the HR people in charge of hiring have been overwhelmed and this shouldn't be the case anymore. Part of the company sales pitch is that they hired the best people they could find. This is apparent in the interviews, everyone was quite obviously either extremely proficient or an expert in their fields. The interview questions were nothing special. I was asked how I would explain a particular measurement technique to an engineer without any experience with it. And I was quizzed on a number of semiconductor related measurement and deposition techniques. There were three interviews in all, 1 phone and 2 face to face.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Malta, NY (took 4 months)
The worst ever recruitment process I have ever been through! It's a total mess!
In 3 simple words-Highly unorganized, inefficient, and unprofessional! Not sure what they are looking for and monkey around with your application for months. On top of that your application is handled by 10 different recruiters in the same company who don't know each other! Can you believe it? No direct communication channel. They dont respond to your emails and calls. Utmost indecisiveness and unprofessionalism!

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2+ months)
I was contacted by a staffing agency for interview with a team who was on hiring spree; however I could not made it. Later on I was called for onsite interview. I was interviewed by 4 people including HR manager. Interview intended to test my toughness to push through the projects. I was given few "what if" types of questions and some difficult situations for handling.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Malta, NY (took 7 months)
The process is long and drawn out. I applied on-line several times. Applying for any one position is limited to once per six-months; if more than one attempt is made the applicant is automatically disqualified. I did meet briefly with a manager while I was a subcontractor on site and sent him my resume. In addition, I worked on the UHPW production system as a subcontractor so I was eminently qualified to transition over as a GlobalFoundries employee when my contract with the design/commissioning firm ended. In spite of being understaffed and desperate for more hires - there are only 12 people and the system manufacturer recommends 24 - I was not hired and was told that more qualified applicants were being sought.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
I applied last August and was approached in November to take a SAM test in December.
I was allowed to take a SAM test at home during the holiday and found it to be enjoyable and challanging.
There were several timed segments which included personality, employee relations, common sense, and the ability to juggle several needs at once. Just normal life stuff, real low tech.
Total time spent, maybe 2 and 1/2 hours.
That was almost a month ago and have not heard back yet.
Interview Questions
Take your coworkers ladder that he is using? Or go to another department to borrow an unused ladder to complete the shipment?.
