AMD reviews

I rarely had some problems with the company. On rare occasions, I'd hear people's opinions on how there is a senior management issue but until the issue gets to my level, I rarely pay attention to words you hear from people. It started to be a problem when the company did waves of retrenchments. Since I was quite junior to the team (less than a year), I'd freak out everytime they did that. Until it happened to me one day and all I could do was think about the compensation to make me feel better. The sad part was that, I think the people they had selected to go were not really under-performing, it was just that they were newer than the people who are staying or that after a certain project is completed, they just downsize that easily.

No formal training. A lot of churn pertaining to work assignments and employees. Limited documentation, most of the knowledge base manifests as tribal knowledge requiring you to hunt down the right people in order to fulfill inquiries related to the current project. Heavy workloads so most employees don't have the bandwidth to help answer questions. Limited resources means employees with the ability to work multiple roles and/or figure things out get over-worked while others are hyper-focused on singular tasks and narrow skill sets. Pay and compensation slightly below average for mid-level engineering/technical employees. Multiple job titles/columns ensures ample confusion when trying to compare pay/compensation rate to the national average. Slow to react to market trends. Cuts to R&D really hurt future growth potential and the ability to expand the product line. Advancement opportunities are very slow.
