Pros

Flexible hours, reasonable opportunity for expanding your knowledge, always something to do with coworkers, it really is like working with your friends since there are always people that share common interests do stuff together outside of work.

Kontras

flexible hours mean you work more from home in the middle of the night, management indecision causes schedule nightmares, the company is trying to do way too much with way to few people, every project is understaffed by 2x, over committed on features by 3x, and scheduled to be finished 6 months ahead of reality. No reverse feedback from employees to management so they are allowed to run open loop, as long as they look good to their superiors, then they get praise and promotions. Really, the way to get promoted is to screw something up so badly that there should be no choice but to fire you. But if you've kissed the right asses, you get promoted instead. There are also now as many VP's and PM's as there are engineers, no wonder we can't get anything done.

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.
