Pluspunten

Have good time, enjoy work compete with Intel in Dirk Meyer era. Company is screwed up after Meyer left.

Minpunten

- New management is disaster. Gave up x86 server product line and move major resources to ARM. Please tell share holders how many ARM you sold? Now almost marketable smart guys gone, rest mediocre wait for layoff package or playing politics for survive. - In 2012 spent $334 millions acquired SeaMicro, promote lots of VPs, directors, senior managers and PMTS with Google like benefit, e.g. free food, snacks and fixed high bonus, eventually dump all 120 people and IPs in April 2015, no more SeaMicro products, Please tell share holders how much cash wasted in this money pit? - There is no fair stack ranking & review process. Bonus, promotion even layoff list depend on your boss like you or not.

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.
