Great company, needs coherent management
Great company, needs coherent management
Coworkers are generally great people. Most everyone I met was friendly and relaxed.
So long as you're getting your work done, many teams are laid back on restrictions (e.g., no set schedule to show up/leave).
"Green initiative." I was never really an Earth-conscious person, but the whole "Go Green" initiative was pretty interesting, like how the buildings are designed to reutilize rainwater, the push for carpooling, and promotion of working from home.
Upper management does a good job of being "visible" to the company. Speeches and "town hall" meetings by the CEO and other execs are a great way to interact with workers.
Layoffs. Many people were (and still are) being laid off.
Lack of structure/standards for some teams (e.g., no source control, no preferred languages for the company).
The marketing department doesn't seem very good at its job. I still have to explain AMD to people.
Upper execs give some great speeches detailing future plans and current products. There should be a way to get that out to the public (looking at you, marketing).
Although still hurting from the Intel lawsuits, stop laying off a lot of your workers. It's happened over three times in the past few years, and it's very demoralizing to teams to see two or three people who sat near you now gone.

The interview process was easy to schedule and go through. Two interviews back to back. A rude interviewer who did not allow me to answer questions that he asked. Mostly a resume screening, although he did not want to hear about my experience.

One initial recruiter call followed by an interview loop. The loop consisted of two 1-hour interviews, which included technical and coding questions. I was unable to answer some questions and was subsequently rejected.
