Pros

* Great community feeling, informal atmosphere, socially laid-back co-workers and managers * Middle-level managers try to be as transparent as possible about 'people management', review process, executive mis-directions etc * Relatively alright work-life balance. Management takes care of your life balance as much as fairness might allow. * Flex hours, work from home available - very flexible work environment

Kontras

* Completely clueless engineering upper-mgmt. * Complete vacuum for entrepreneurial zest - even within engineering: More focus on incremental improvements than radical changes * Very little lateral opportunity: very easy to get pigeonholed into doing the same job - incrementally better - for years. In fact, this is a pro for people seeking deep dives into their field of choice. * Non-existent professional improvement opportunities * VERY cyclical business model: Company goes to the brink and comes back from it after selling off assets and getting rid of 10% US workforce.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Kontras

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.

Pros

It's a big company. So, a lot of great benefits and high pay. Also, a lot of opportunity for career advancement and internal transfers if a particular job/team doesn't fit (to avoid losing RSUs). Plus, they're not too hard on you regarding performance since all the performance reviews are qualitative rather than quantitative (that could be both a pro and a con, honestly).

Kontras

It's a big company. So, a lot of bureaucracy. They get in the way of themselves requiring endless approvals for spending. Also small organizations within AMD being territorial about their particular domain rather than being as open as possible inhibits rapid progress. Also, pushing for "diversity and inclusion" is racist. They should ignore race, not try to have a representative sampling of the population. I give them a low score there because DEI is racist. But not minimal because it's only something the HR dept cares about, normal employees effectively ignore race from what I can tell. So even if management is woke, the company (the individuals) are not.
