AMD reviews

1. You never know when your "very important" project gets canceled 2. Many managers are not skilled at effective management 3. Very low employee morale. Majority would jump ship if offered equivalent compensation (which in itself is poor compared to industry) 4. No stock or bonus or raises worth writing home about 5. A very perceptible feeling of doom and gloom all around 6. Many Senior technical leaders (Fellow, Sr. Fellows) are below par in their performance and accomplishments creating a feeling that promotion/selection was not based on merit.

• Super fast-paced, have to juggle multiple tasks in parallel • Tasks on hand are micromanaged, expecting significant progress every week • Geopolitics, if your team is not local, expect peers whom are not willing to share information and you will be knocking into walls trying to complete a simple task • Poor documentation, to understand certain things, you have to delve into the code-level to understand how interconnections are made • Poor distribution of IP feature ownership, some features are only taken care of by one person; if that person is reluctant to share information or is on leave, you have no way to consult that person regarding the featurre • Output-oriented instead of learning-oriented, you will not be given time to learn the big picture of things, but only focus on completing your assigned deliverables • Unrealistic datelines, expects new hires to complete four tasks that involves major code development just two months into the job
