Pros

Many engineers are drawn to AMD because they want to work on processors and computing. In Silicon Valley, there are only a handful of companies where you can still build CPUs - and AMD is right in the thick of things. It's also motivating to compete (and hopefully win against a much larger and entrenched competitor. Many AMD engineers take great pride knowing that they have delivered a better product than Intel with about 1/10th the resources.

Kontras

AMD is a top heavy, slowly moving, uninspired company. The leadership spends time bickering over useless issues and implementing ridiculous initiatives. At the same time, the most important item for a technology company - executing and delivering products - seems to have been lost in all the management changes and rush to make more and more changes.

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.
