First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at GlobalFoundries.
Intern
The interview started out pretty standard, but then the interviewer got unprofessional. He started talking about how females and males are capable or incapable of doing the job, and some of what he said was understandable, but the way he phrased it was really insensitive. He also asked about my GPA, which is fine, but he asked it in a really unprofessional and insensitive way too.
- Could you tell me a bit about yourself?
- What motivated you to apply for this particular position?
- Could you elaborate on your GPA? Were you finding it challenging to transition academically from [previous school] to [Current school]?
Intern
Applied through my university portal and after 1.5 weeks, I got a notification to schedule an interview. They called everyone from my university for the interview process at the same time and gave us an introduction to the company. After the talk, they made us wait while they called a few people one by one to be interviewed. The waiting time was quite long as some of the interviewees had to wait for two hours. The interview itself was short as it only lasted 10 minutes.
- What is your understanding of the job scope?
Intern
My interview was online via Google Meet with 3/4 people, including my potential supervisor. It was scheduled for about an hour but ended up being only 30 minutes. I really liked the whole process and felt I nailed all their questions. They even said they were impressed with my answers, and I was pretty sure I'd get the job (which I did, eventually getting the offer). However, I didn't hear back from them for three weeks after the interview.
- Can you explain your understanding of "sustainability"?
