Business Outlook

Pros

AMD was a great company with great people

Cons

The executive team continues to beat the remaining employees into submission with endless job cuts and austerity measures. The morale and energy has been destroyed by a lack of leadership. When the top 6 people at the company reward themselves with over $32M in salary and bonus pay while the company flounders - they are just feeding off a large carcass and lying to the world about their intent.

How many ARM you sold? How much Seamicro lose out?

Member of technical staff developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Have good time, enjoy work compete with Intel in Dirk Meyer era. Company is screwed up after Meyer left.

Cons

- New management is disaster. Gave up x86 server product line and move major resources to ARM. Please tell share holders how many ARM you sold? Now almost marketable smart guys gone, rest mediocre wait for layoff package or playing politics for survive. - In 2012 spent $334 millions acquired SeaMicro, promote lots of VPs, directors, senior managers and PMTS with Google like benefit, e.g. free food, snacks and fixed high bonus, eventually dump all 120 people and IPs in April 2015, no more SeaMicro products, Please tell share holders how much cash wasted in this money pit? - There is no fair stack ranking & review process. Bonus, promotion even layoff list depend on your boss like you or not.
