Pluspunten

Talented pool of employees. Cross departmental collaboration. Lots of opportunities to wear multiple hats as long as you show a willingness and ability to learn. Onsite cafeteria, gym, and rec room (billiard table, Wii gaming console, table tennis). Free coffee. Onsite wellness checks. Covered parking.

Minpunten

No formal training. A lot of churn pertaining to work assignments and employees. Limited documentation, most of the knowledge base manifests as tribal knowledge requiring you to hunt down the right people in order to fulfill inquiries related to the current project. Heavy workloads so most employees don't have the bandwidth to help answer questions. Limited resources means employees with the ability to work multiple roles and/or figure things out get over-worked while others are hyper-focused on singular tasks and narrow skill sets. Pay and compensation slightly below average for mid-level engineering/technical employees. Multiple job titles/columns ensures ample confusion when trying to compare pay/compensation rate to the national average. Slow to react to market trends. Cuts to R&D really hurt future growth potential and the ability to expand the product line. Advancement opportunities are very slow.

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.
