Pluspunten

Very good work environment. Flexible work time and reasonable supervision. Work on the cutting edge of technology, good opportunity to rise your technical skills. Good to have such a record in your resume

Minpunten

Extremely difficult to grow. There is no way to be promoted if you work more than speak. Opposite, you are successful if your PowerPoint and speaking skills are higher than C++ proficiency. Lot of meetings with zero output. Sometimes a process is more important than a result. Too many unsatisfied highly experienced engineers leave the company. To fill the gap, AMD likes very much to hire external people rather than promote internal ones.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

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).

Minpunten

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.
