Pluspunten

A chance to work on the latest and greatest technology in the PC industry with lots of very smart coworkers. We get to work on projects that will define mainstream PC platforms in the 3-5 year horizon, well before most other downstream companies are involved. Lots of great products are in the pipeline, and now we just need to execute to get back in the black.

Minpunten

Poor company performance, excessive meetings and bureaucracy. The company is still struggling to complete the integration of ATI into AMD, and the vastly different company cultures are probably hindering this transition a bit. Long-term AMDers are used to down business cycles such as the current one. Newer employees may not have seen something like this in the past, which can make them nervous about the future.

Pluspunten

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Minpunten

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.

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.
