Pros

It's a job with benefits.

Cons

The nail in the coffin. AMD is the worst place I have ever worked. It’s not a good company. It’s never been a good company.

Don’t be fooled by the inclusive, diverse hype propaganda. It’s a very toxic place to work.

Sure, you can make some money and gain some experience. Just don’t stay too long, or you’ll lose yourself.

If you have choices, choose the other. If you don’t, here are three things you must do to succeed at AMD:

  • Trust nobody.
  • Lie about everything.
  • If you see something bad headed your way, duck and let it hit the person behind you.

If you can do these three things, you will succeed at AMD. Good luck!

Advice to Management

Remove your HR and start from scratch. Reskill instead of replace.
