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.

Very tops down with all major and most minor decisions going directly to Lisa Su. Also, the overall compensation is poor. Stock grants are not competitive, the bonus goals / structure is setup to never give anyone anywhere close to 100% and the yearly % increase salary "pool" given to managers are usually funded below the inflation rates. All in all, a great place to go if you want to fade into the background and get a paycheck or get exposure to good technology and then go somewhere else for better pay and more empowerment.
