Working in a cutting edge 0.25 micron technology fab producing the company's hottest product is a rush, and every day provides a new challenge. AMD provides a supportive environment and whatever your position, there's constant opportunity to contribute and learn. Today as a Financial Analyst, I was given a great deal of responsibility right from the start. For me, what distinguished AMD as an employer is that fact that they really care about and are committed to their employees. Everything you need to grow your career is at your disposal.
Money is never a surrogate for interest and ability.
I have plenty of classmates who took consulting jobs simply because they paid well. Now they're wondering what they should do next. If you really want to do something, go for it. If you truly care about your job, you'll do well. AMD is in an exciting position to develop and shape the future of this industry.
