AMD reviews

Where to begin on this one... first of all overall employee morale is abysmal. Employees feel like they're in the dark about what is happening with the company, and at the same time unempowered to affect the changes they know need to be made. There seems to be an unwillingness by senior management to make the difficult changes which leaves "empires" within the company untouched letting major issues fester. On top of that, there has been a significant amount of promotion from within lately leading to the same thinking and same issues continuing to repeat themselves within senior management. All in all, major structural changes are needed at AMD to right the company. It starts at the top and needs to continue through several levels of management to get the right people, right attitudes, and right talent in place.

Sometimes you might have to pull long shifts because everything tends to break down when the product is about to be released. Some of the teams tend to come in very late in the morning and work very very late. This makes it difficult to sometimes coordinate with teams and get your own work done especially if you are waiting on something from someone that stays late.
