Business Outlook

Pros

Uses latest software language, tools, and configuration management. Exposure to latest tools and technology in software engineering is quite good.

Cons

Too much coordination between different teams, quite daunting for an engineer who wants to focus on technical or engineering matters. Can do better in project management.

Business Outlook

Pros

The base compensation is average to above average, and there tends to be good respect for work-life balance. There are some really great people working there, and pockets of support for professional and personal growth.

Cons

While AMD talks a good talk about professional growth, I found myself blocked a bit as I tried to develop my career. There's a tendency to pigeonhole good people into their role, and while it makes sense, it's a frustrating place to be. The company changes direction in messaging, marketing, and focus often, making it very hard to really maintain a consistent story. The overall experience is decent, but lacking when it comes to really developing one's career.

Leadership is a buzzword, not a philosophy or goal.

Pros

AMD is a good place to learn about complex semiconductor products in all aspects. There are good opportunities in design, testing, and product definition.

Cons

The senior leadership is all about doing what someone else has already done. Developing new IP, or new products for new areas is not what AMD is about. If you are interested in any kind of marketing, don't join AMD.
