AMD reviews

Mechanical Engineers in this role focus heavily on heat transfer and CPU/GPU thermals, which for recent graduate coming out of school doesn't provide the same breadth of experience other jobs might.

--The story of AMD is really compelling, but the workload can just be impossible. It's hard when you've worked so many long hours for so long to keep going sometimes. You'll rarely have a weekend off, and your vacation/holiday time isn't necessarily sacred either. --They send mixed-messages on communicating to the executive team: they will say publicly that you can go to an executive and ask them a question, but when people actually do, executives often get offended. --Salary and benefits are just okay, nothing to write home about. I know they try to keep an eye on what salary markets are doing, but their data gets so stale so quickly. --As with any large company, things tend to happen slowly and you need like 8 layers of approval to get anything done. --There are some managers who are fantastic, and others who are terrible. A great job can easily become miserable if you're assigned to a poor manager.
