Maxis Communications

Questionable and lack of direction by the company's leadership. 30% people are overwhelmed, but other people having nothing to do. Many people abuse work from home perk who only spend 2 or 3 hours access company email then out shopping and BS very busy. Lots of senior managers with very limited experience. BU leadership does not seem to understand the consequences of their actions. Many good engineers gone, products qualities is decline resulted in an large amount of sustaining activities.

Company is not making good profits.

Understaffed No overtime pay for extra work

long work hours and stressful

The pay is not much.

Compensation is significantly lower than competitors

Long hours, no overtime pay, blatant sexism and favoritism, yearly layoffs. Power struggles between the CPU and GPU (former ATI) divisions. Very difficult to get ahead in this company since it is in such a competitive industry and struggling to survive. Management don't want you to move forward, because they are stuck in their positions...some of them just sit there playing computer games all day, waiting for there package. Borrowing this from a September 4, 2012 review... "Psychopaths who cannot manage their emotions and don't know how to behave in professional environments. Everyone will try to assert what little authority they have over you." Read the September 4th review...very accurate.

Bad management and there is always a downsizing somewhere

HR is a joke @AMD. Managers have all the control, from hiring to salary discussion n bonus. Small organisation, no strict policies New comers get paid more and also get fired because no roadmaps aligned for them Too many diversions from roadmap

Because of politics and favoritism most of the times even though work is excellent there is less motivation. Pay wise they do poor compared to any other silicon company and we can’t even ask for good pays. Promotions are stalled only if manager is a partial person. As Chinese team is involved they are trying to get Asian culture into the team where no one says no to boss even when he is wrong . I work at Orlando site and if you are getting a better opportunity else where please do go there AMD no doubt looks cool from out but is worst place to be in
