      AMD in trouble

      Design engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      The management at the Sunnyvale facility is destructive. The level of management incompetence is truly remarkable and nepotism is completely out of control.

      Great place to work, learn.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Bright people who are motivated to succeed. There are so many brilliant minds to learn from, and best of all, most of these people are helpful and genuine - you can approach them and learn. Management at the lower levels run by engineers - so they know how an engineering company should be run. Very flexible with hours, schedule.

      Cons

      Senior management at the top sort of aimless, like to blame the engineers for their mistakes. Working at a company that's in a fight for its life - every quarter feels like holding your breath to see if you died or not.

      AMD has no idea what drives demand for their product, and is resists adapting to the changing market dynamics.

      Pros

      AMD is very family-friendly, promotes working from home, and overall though the internal reporting structures change often, the jobs of contributors rarely change. This makes it easy to remain focused on a goal throughout an evaluation period, though your mileage may vary.

      Cons

      Death by weekly or daily meetings. AMD people spend a lot of time talking about what they'd like to do, but there's no motivation to reprioritize. Everyone spends so much time in meetings and bureaucracy that rather than being a culture of efficiency, it's a culture of spinning wheels. No one is willing to stop what they're doing to focus on more important issues. What's more, the management is structured to prevent you from doing anything of the sort. AMD also puts as much burden of policies and paperwork on Manager level and below as they can so as to relieve the stress on upper ranks. AMD is bleeding money in lost productivity among the individual contributors and is blissfully ignorant as to the cost of lost productivity from this approach.
