AMD reviews

AMD runs a very tight ship (more so in this down cycle for the company). There is always a resource crunch and typically that means sacrificing of critical projects or trying to run them with drastic compromises. Due to this once you are an expert at something and good at it, it is very difficult to move on to other things. This is extremely career limiting. There is a "cultish" mentality that the senior management tries to project, where AMD does nothing wrong and all the problems are because of big, bad intel. This leads to senior management not taking enough responsibility for their failures and lowers employee morale and the employees' faith in senior management.

-Management has no long-term strategic direction. -Company goals are unrealistic and unattainable thereby demoralizing employees. -The company very poorly allocates its resources. Some employees are extremely busy while others are underworked. - At AMD, departments are constantly reinventing the wheel because there is little to no knowledge sharing across divisions. -The company does a poor job of post-mortem analysis. - Layoffs are a fact of life at AMD.
