Bad Management Smothers Good Engineering

Senior product development engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some very talented engineers with a wealth of knowledge; interesting environment to discuss and work on engineering issues.

Cons

Majority of management at all levels is non-technical and a detriment to the company. This results in management's inability to properly understand scope of an engineering issue, and how to properly resolve the issue in a given timeframe. Decisions are too often made for business reasons and not based on engineering data- hence the Barcelona debacle.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some interesting work is available if you are in the right place. The best part of the job is the quality of the work. If AMD wins the law suit against Intel, things might get better.

Cons

Salaries increases have been frozen. No bonuses since merger with ATI. But, senior management is still giving themselves stock options. AMD really dug a deep hole when they went into debt and bought ATI. Major outsourcing to China and India--this makes it hard to move up the career ladder if you are in the US. The recent 10% layoffs were not communicated by management very well.
