Pluspunten

- Good salary and benefits - Good facility including underground parking and 24/7 gym

Minpunten

ATI used to be one of the best Canadian companies around until AMD (A Major Disaster) took over. Since then it has been a nightmare. There has not been a year that there is no lay offs. The company has no future and no product that can compete. Their most valuable asset is graphics (old ATI) in which without them they would have been dead by now. No room for grow as the promotions are far away and between. Most employees are fed up and just awaiting to receive a package to leave. Senior management is clueless.

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.
