Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good work environment. Flexible work time and reasonable supervision. Work on the cutting edge of technology, good opportunity to rise your technical skills. Good to have such a record in your resume

Cons

Extremely difficult to grow. There is no way to be promoted if you work more than speak. Opposite, you are successful if your PowerPoint and speaking skills are higher than C++ proficiency. Lot of meetings with zero output. Sometimes a process is more important than a result. Too many unsatisfied highly experienced engineers leave the company. To fill the gap, AMD likes very much to hire external people rather than promote internal ones.
