Ahead in tech, a great place to work and grow

Pros: Great work culture and environment to grow.
Cons: Some management personnel need to conform to the AMD culture and not their old job ones.
4.0
As a contract employee, the pay is above average. However, the short contract and little notice it was ending were shocking
Engineering Technician • Former Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
October 7, 2014
Pros: Above average pay. Flexible hours. Onsite cafeteria. One-on-one reviews with management every other week are great to stay on track of my goals and what is expected of me.
Cons: Short-term contract. I was told I would be there a year, but the contract was cancelled after 6 months due to budget cuts. I had been there once before, and it lasted 18 months, which was great, so I expected to be there at least a year. However, they pulled the plug early, which caught me by surprise.

Pros: AMD is a great place to work. The team is distributed, and they have great flexibility to be able to be a father and still have a full-time job.
Cons: Starting salaries aren’t top of the market, and being forced to develop on Windows is not my favorite.
