AMD

Global company, state-of-the-art techs, good info sharing, solid foundations and huge markets. It's a good place for a start-up job where you can learn a lot. Good work, efficient and clear team goals and personal targets.

Almost no orientation for new hires (comparing to similar companies like Intel or Microsoft), no free soft drinks, and messy toilets (which I consider essential when evaluating the work environment). There is a pushing environment: too many after-hours requests, no after-hours fees, and a bad work/life balance.

It's hard for me to evaluate this because my manager is not on the same site as me, and I only have a few team members with me here.

We have regular phone meetings. My manager has been clear, simple, and effective.

But we don't meet face to face, so eventually it's not that good.

But overall, I would give him a good score.

As for the CEO of the company, I have no idea that he exists except I see his posters.
