How are the career growth opportunities on the Engineering team at AMD?
Career ladder at AMD is finer than other companies. But the promotion opportunity is not that great. Such people tend to grow slower than their counterparts at other companies. In another aspect, work range of positions is very narrow. You have to move to other positions to learn more. And this move is lateral, pushing off your next promotion. Good side, there are many positions, most likely you can find something you can do.
