Avantages

There is nothing good about working at AMD other than you get a salary to pay for your bills every month.

Inconvénients

Once upon a time I was a very enthusiastic engineer until I spent a few years working for AMD. Working at AMD will destroy you, things here are done terrible, starting for upper management all the way down to engineer level. There is a lot of politics, a lot of management decisions are taken without even considering or asking engineers about the technical side. Most of the teams are very bad, managers have ZERO management skills, everyone knows that things are wrong but at the same time, they know that things wont change. There is an unbelievable LACK of responsibility and ownership. All the time the projects are behind, there is no clear schedules, a lot of cross-site work with Shanghai, India and multiple sites in US, decision making is very slow. People is not recognize for your work, unless you are very very friend of your boss, they will recognize it, because managers are SO SO BAD, that they dont even know what their employees are doing. In summary, this is a nightmare, please stay away from AMD if you can, if you are already working for AMD, wake up! and switch to another company before it is too late.

Inspirational that it came back to power .

Inconvénients

Mid-level management is very bad. Lot of PMTS roles. Of which majority lack technical knowledge. They are just talking talking with zero technical contribution and wasting time for other employees. Cut down the meetings too. Random call requests from Mid-Level managers who are PMTS, SMTS via IMs and they tend to run for longer duration with less to no technical discussion
