Pros

Great co-workers, all the worker bees have the same goal, to make AMD a fun and proud place to work. To be an industry leader at what they do. To do things right and effient. Also,.. Good benefits, good extra activies that is not work related.

Cons

Poor managements Dumb Managements its all about the perfent Process they have in-place Sweet shop.... All the management are like those dilbert managers.... They think they know how to do it better, they often speak for the worker bees without their inputs. They often change decisions on the fly without thinking... (Which is always wrong). When things go wrong because of decisions they make or altering the projects, its always the workers bees fault. They either get a bad review or get laid off...... Thays how its like working at the beloved AMD/ATI....

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).

Cons

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.
