AMD reviews

Strategic, cohesive vision is severely lacking. Execution missteps happen all to frequently, of late. Recognition of and reaction to market conditions/direction seem slow and counterintuitive. Medical benefits could be better but in a climate where everyone's getting pinched on bennies, ours aren't too bad. Across-the-board cost-of-living raises suspended until performance turns around (presumably later in '08). The integration of ATI is still not complete.

Lack of focused direction, incompetent managerial decision making. From a top down stand point, the management expects us to blindly adhere to their decisions. When we raise an issue, we get berated and thrown under the bus for not being a "team player". This may not be true of all the organizations within AMD, but it certainly is within my current group. There is not much drive and motivation to be working within our group, as we are seen as the laughing stock within the company, and the management isn't helping in changing that view, what with the current intiatives that we are asked to be working on.
