Damn, literally just wanted to work there

as someone that does work there (not laid off thankfully), I gotta ask, why?

[–] arrakark@10291998.xyz 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I worked for a competitor, (not laid off, just quit to take a break). AMD seems to pay a bit better and the office is closer to home. They have been stealing coworkers over the years. I get the impression that the company culture is a bit more about taking risks. My old employer was very conservative, and even though I was working in the least conservative team, I still felt like the culture was too slow.

Why? Is it a bad place to work? Spill the beans lol

very strange to see someone say thay AMD pays better. we have a lot of attrition on our team because most competitors pay better. As for culture, it's ok. I'm senior enough that I can do whatever I want now. We do use a lot of in house tools that suck ass, but we seem to be moving towards standardisation. I'm hopeful that this trend continues. Idk if I would recommend AMD, but I have no idea what kind of work you do and what team might hire you. Wish you the best either way
