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
as someone who works at AMD and on AI, this is only kinda true. While we're not as affected by layoffs, AMD has been extremely stingy with budget this year. Maybe that will change in the coming months though
