AMD Work Experiences
1.0
Layoffs, Backstabbers, And Stagnant Work
Engineer • Former Employee
Boxborough, Massachusetts, United States
May 26, 2017
Pros: There is no good reason to work at AMD (as an engineer).
Cons: Staffing is boom and bust; today they hire, tomorrow they lay off.
Line management is engineering throwbacks, so tread cautiously to stay on their good side.
Be careful of your co-workers; they will throw you under the bus to save their own skin.
The work is all incremental changes to existing stuff, not great for skills. The industry will outpace you.
4.0

Engineer • Current Employee
November 6, 2024
