AMD reviews

flexible hours mean you work more from home in the middle of the night, management indecision causes schedule nightmares, the company is trying to do way too much with way to few people, every project is understaffed by 2x, over committed on features by 3x, and scheduled to be finished 6 months ahead of reality. No reverse feedback from employees to management so they are allowed to run open loop, as long as they look good to their superiors, then they get praise and promotions. Really, the way to get promoted is to screw something up so badly that there should be no choice but to fire you. But if you've kissed the right asses, you get promoted instead. There are also now as many VP's and PM's as there are engineers, no wonder we can't get anything done.

If you're looking for financial stability, look elsewhere. The company has short periods of doing well and longer periods of not doing well at all. You have to be willing to work at a place that has risk. If you're in the Bay area, the company has definitely shifted to Texas in the US and other places in the world, so if you want to grow, you may have to move from the valley. There's also been a lot of change so morale has taken a hit. The purchase of ATI put a lot of strains on the Company, which impacted the financials and the culture.
