AMD a waste of engineering resources

Senior design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of smart engineers working at AMD that, given the proper chance, can do great things with limited resources. The work environment is fairly relaxed and flexible.

Cons

Incompetent executives, lack of corporate direction, canceled important projects, removal of benefits, poor health plan (UHC), no bonuses or pay raises.

Great place to work if you like an average salary

Senior design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, great people to work with, good work/life balance. The people here are great and do not berate you. Vacation time is ample and plus you can always work from home, which is a great way to get work done without being bothered.

Cons

No bonuses or raises since 2006! Senior executives need figure a good business plan so AMD can make some money. AMD's primary competitor is Intel and from I can see so far from the salary ratings, I am being underpaid as a senior design engineer. The main reason for this is probably that AMD is lost billions last year (2007) and so probably did not have any money for raises.
