AMD Employer Reviews

I have enjoyed my time with AMD as a products, and as management.

- IP Lead for mulit-generation Clock Synthesis PLL

- Excellent people and talent

- Excellent Products

AMD is a great company to work for and has many wonderful people and things going for it if it can weather the latest storm. My typical day at work includes meeting with subject matter experts and stakeholders to define, develop, and deliver server training for sales folks in multiple formats for a global audience. My co-workers are brilliant and dedicated – more... to what they do. The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to work with brilliant, dedicated people from all over the world right from my home office or at the Austin Lone-star Campus. The most difficult part of my job is learning how to cope with the insecurity related to whether the company is going to be able to turnaround. – less

I have worked for AMD for 1.5 years now including 2.5 months during internship. From Day 1, I have been excited about being the small player against a Goliath competitor. I respect the company for it's being nice culture, work life balance and constantly changing environment. There is no dearth of opportunity to learn, work on exciting things, given – more... things change a lot here (Org. structure, strategy). The company is nimble and agile, always on it's feet. However, I think being too nice and constant change also has a price and that is evident in it's executional misses.
Overall, I would suggest this place for 1-2 years. – less

Very Matured Workplace.
Latest Technology for Hands-on experience.
Less Bureaucracy.

it's easy to interact with people from every function; therefore, good to know new people and new knowledge as market and customers are constantly changing.

AMD could be so much more. Talented engineers around (although a lot of them are leaving and not getting replaced.) But management is thick, with SEVEN layers of management. I have two directors, two VP's, and everyone who shows up on LinkedIn seems to be a VP of something. We can't even settle on one CTO.

AMD is a great company to work for! Change in management occurs approximately every 9 - 12 months, which means new direction and goals - at times making it hard to focus on the core job.

Great, highly intelligent crowd at AMD helps you thrive within the company.

Great technology and industry standards going here with good opportunity to learn and experience growth.

There is alot of duplication of efforts and responsibilities.

A typical workday is productive in a relaxed environment. Co-workers are sociable and easy going. Management is awesome and work life balance is by far the best.

I was the lead maintenance tech in the Etch area. I was responsible for the maintaining and technician training for my shift. I learned how to improve my interpersonal skills while dealing with all the different technicians. Management gave me all the tools I needed to succeed and I advanced greatly there. The hardest part of the job became getting – more... burned out on never changing shifts or area--it became a hbardship on my personal life always working the night shift and not being able to change. I loved working with the same people for years. – less

Excellent company to work for during the good times. Excellent pay and benefits. Very contractor heavy

good management
good people.
great product.
fantastic christmas parties

Work is challenging hence exciting
Professional co-workers
Facing tough times while adapting to post PC era

With the amount of turnover it makes for a rough place to work. AMD hires and then fires, so attracting top talent is extremely hard to do and when they can’t even fund bonuses people are jumping off the ship

Mutually beneficial. I had a good industry experience. Nice place to work and enough resources were provided.
