Maxis Communications

Too much layoff which force lots of smart people leave. This is definitely a PAIN for a company in Silicon Valley. Especially, most directly join your competitors.

- pay lower than industry average

so many level management level. and more team.

understaffed product line not consistent with what people want not going into mobile space not enough money to buy all the lab equipment needed do not provide laptops to everyone

he Company has been in "transformation" for several years now, resulting in multiple and continuous budget and operational cuts.

less improvement opportunity because AMD doesn't do a very good job in the market

Senior management is disengaged with everyday employees, and it does not appear they are capable of projecting AMD beyond its status as an Intel also-ran. More bad news comes out of AMD than good these days, and it is becoming hard to see that changing in the near-term.

Management can be political, a sweat shop, not a lot of accountability, tough to get things done

Depressing, no time to innovate, no time to think, all decisions are about cost and how to stay alive in the short term.

Potentially (very) bad work/life balance because projects are often executed at too many sites. A lot of off-hours conference calls and work. Customer satisfaction is not a high priority at AMD. Continuing financial challenges make people to focus on internal matters rather than customers. Too frequent changes in product roadmap and plan.
