Pros

1) You will get to work on some of the best in class technologies. 2) Money if you have the right skills 3) Work life balance 4) Culture among engineers is good. But unfortunately.. the managers don't seem to understand what their engineers can achieve.

Kontras

1) It is a trigger happy management. Especially throwing away valuable engineers 2) In my experience the head has no accountability. Promises a lot and does nothing. Some requests were pending for 1.5 years even after promises of completion in a month's time. 3) The management retains submissive people. 4) I find senior engineers refusing actual engineering work and instead expect couple of folks that would work under their useless guidance.. to usurp the visibility that the low level engineer should be getting. They are also not technically good to be called seniors.

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.
