Pluspunten

There aren't many left, they all went away due to cutbacks. Three weeks of vacation the first year, goes up to four weeks per year after 4 or 5 years. Most manager let you telecommute at least a couple times a month. They are pretty flexible about what hours you work. There used to a pretty good sabbatical program but no all of 2008 doesn't count toward the time requirement. The discounted stock program is gone with no indication if it will ever return. Bonuses are largely based on company performance so they are effectively gone. If they bring back those benefits it could be good.

Minpunten

Most of the financial benefits are on hold. Bonuses are based largely based on company performance instead of individual performance so they are pretty much out the window for now. No raises for all of 2008 and maybe longer. Promotions are based on ranking with other engineers at the same level company wide and how much your manager is willing to fight with upper management for you. recognition of any sort is very hard to come by.

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.
