Process
I'd worked there before, so they had a good word from my former manager and colleagues.

My experience in solving problems, innovating, and leading people was disregarded. Instead, the decision was made on arcane syntax questions about programming languages.
Questions
Syntax questions about Perl.

AMD provides many community outreach projects and activities to help promote bonds between employees. A great place to start, then run.Cons: Incentives such as stock purchase and target bonuses have been reduced or eliminated.
