Pluspunten

-Still some very cool technology despite the low morale and sub-optimal methodologies in place. -Very smart engineers. -Can still compete with Intel despite the situation that the company is in.

Minpunten

-Mercenary executives with basically no work history at AMD or no emotional ties to the company. -Horrible stack ranking & review process. -No bonuses. -No technical training. -No stability. Multiple rounds of layoffs every year. Don't keep too many personal items in your cubicle, limit them to what you can pack in a "standard AMD layoff box", approx. 25x20x16 in. You will thank me if they eventually come for you. -More than half of the engineers are of Indian or Chinese origin (myself included), but literally NONE of the technical management is. Draw your own judgement. If you're a foreign-born engineer, don't expect career advancement here.

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.
