AMD reviews

AMD doesn't have a lot of benefits to offer employees right now, but the one thing that they can offer is a big deal. They have a very flexible work from home policy. As long as things are getting done on time and you are in the office when you need to be, you can work from where ever you want. This is great for work/life balance. It is perfectly acceptible to work from home for a few hours in the morning, commute into the office while the traffic is low and come home at a reasonable hour. Or if your child gets sick, no problem, you don't need to take a sick day or vacation, you can just work from home. If you don't get everything done that day, just work from home a couple hours in the evening to make up for it. The point it that the hours are flexible. As long as you are coming to the in-person meetings you have, and getting things completed by the time they are due you are open to make your life and work fit in a better balance than the typicall 9-6 business day.

The technical challenge of the work makes it very interesting for an engineer. While the work is challenging the company is currently at a massively uncompetitive position with respect to their main competitor resulting in the engineers being under extreme pressure to deliver a product that will save the company. Ultimately the engineering team will be the scapegoat for the mismanagement and poor strategic product definition that got them to this position.
