AMD reviews

While not perfect, AMD - for the most part - respects its employees and has a positive corporate culture. It's the anti-Dell. At almost nine years there, I feel that good work gets rewarded and non-performers eventually get weeded out. But there are exceptions to these rules.

There's a relaxed work environment with very flexible hours. As a co-op they expect you to come in for the hours to get your work done but it can be within the hours of your choosing. I went in from 7am-3pm so that I could do things outside of work and my superiors were more than supportive of it. They assign you a mentor who basically as an idea of what you're going to be working on and is helpful in solving the problems or knowing who would be knowledgeable in the area. The work that they have interns do is real and has an impact on the company in some form. From my experience managers have been very easy to go and talk to about questions that you might have and can settle things pretty quickly. Great pay from what I've been able to determine for interns in technology. Only a few other companies offer more than I know of. Provided me with money for moving down there and helped to set me up with an apartment. It's a big company so there's lots of room to move around should you not like the area that you're working in. And Austin, TX.....it's fantastic.
