AMD reviews

Some very poor managerial skills in certain teams (middle management). No team building events or any importance assigned to such things. Management shows poor understanding of the fact that sustained high-pressure work environments can be demotivating, especially when zero-promotions/zero-merit-raises/pay-cuts are enforced. People who 'make' themselves visible just by speaking a lot in meetings and emails seem to benefit disproportionately (by impressing middle management) than those who make real contributions. This is another sign of technically incompetent middle management and demoralizing.

The culture is engineering centric The new campus design reflect some level of disconnect. Disciplines and groups are physically separated Collaboration across the enterprise is a foreign concept Relatively too much time is spent on looking good particularly at the senior levels Conformity is expected and rewarded even when individualism is sometimes publicly encouraged High level of resistance to change Employee survey results are often used to camouflage leadership gaps Despite all the wishful thinking, beating the competition continues to be an illusive fantasy
