AMD – “Maybe it was a great place once, but I hate it here now.”

Pros

Work life balance is about the ONLY area remaining where things are still OK at AMD. Otherwise there is nothing left for me here other than a decent commute.

Cons

No Innovation.
No potential for advancement.
Every job is being exported to India while all the competent folks I used to work with were laid off in the technical tracks.
Marketing runs the show, and makes stupid decisions based on made up projections for future sales.
The "Vision" and "Fusion" campaigns are a laugh, and our customers don't know we exist.

Advice to Senior Management

Let's return to innovation and allow our software division to be unbridled and unshackled from the chains of marketing whim!
