Maxis Communications

The internal workings of AMD are a complete mess, the management does not know what they are doing and treat the employees very poorly. Extremely intelligent people are denied the promotions and raises that they deserve, and those that get them generally get them by brown-nosing management.

High turnover especially in upper management doesn't inspire confidence.

Too many non-technical seat warming Managers in CPU engineering team.

Company not doing too well at the moment

Top heavy on the management side. Very sad that the company is completely miss managed (started with Hector, got better with Dirk, now it's worse than before).

Understaffed in many areas. Management did not seem to be in touch with the difficulties of the day to day work going on. The environment of multi-site splitting of projects and staff made ongoing cooperation difficult. A feeling of a very reactive company to attempt to fill the needs of the marketplace, especially trying to catch up to competition. A culture based on reward and recognition and individual accomplishments, which translated to a culture where sharing of knowledge seemed to be restricted.

The working content is a bit boring and not that challenging as I am an intern. Don't see too many spaces for promotion.

Management's focus is unclear Too independent No direction given and must seek a direction without much guidance sometimes Very reactive

It is a big company that is spread over many countries (many time zones, languages). Management is completely focused on getting the next products out the door and does not care about employee career development.

As expected , benefits are not as great as it used to be when company was making money.
