Large Carcass

Pros

AMD was a great company with great people

Cons

The executive team continues to beat the remaining employees into submission with endless job cuts and austerity measures. The morale and energy has been destroyed by a lack of leadership. When the top 6 people at the company reward themselves with over $32M in salary and bonus pay while the company flounders - they are just feeding off a large carcass and lying to the world about their intent.

Pros

Have good time, enjoy work compete with Intel in Dirk Meyer era. Company is screwed up after Meyer left.

Cons

- New management is disaster. Gave up x86 server product line and move major resources to ARM. Please tell share holders how many ARM you sold? Now almost marketable smart guys gone, rest mediocre wait for layoff package or playing politics for survive. - In 2012 spent $334 millions acquired SeaMicro, promote lots of VPs, directors, senior managers and PMTS with Google like benefit, e.g. free food, snacks and fixed high bonus, eventually dump all 120 people and IPs in April 2015, no more SeaMicro products, Please tell share holders how much cash wasted in this money pit? - There is no fair stack ranking & review process. Bonus, promotion even layoff list depend on your boss like you or not.

Pros

Lots of freedom to develop new methodologies. Generally not a micromanaged culture. they try to allow telework and/or WFH options.

Cons

Lots of fire drills done just to make pretty pictures for executives, at the cost of value-added work. Poor management and financial commitments made without consulting those who will do the work are leading to unworkable projects that can't be fixed in the budget we have. They are also cutting benefits right and left, and not giving raises or bonuses like they used to. shrinking career opportunities, limited training.
