    AMD Anonymous in Markham, ON (Canada):   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    The AMD environment is very open and friendly. The people are open to new ideas, and are always willing to improve.

    Cons

    The IT is a mess, and some people in the company are in positions that do not suit their specialization. The wages are also quite low, and the lack of capital hurts opportunities for promotions.

    Advice to Senior Management

    The mis allocation of resources is very pronounced. You need to hire people specialized in the jobs they are hired for, and reshuffle the groups to move the people that are not, into more interesting positions.
