Pluspunten

• Great monetary offer if you aced the interview • Great employee benefits (free coffee, console games, dental, medical) • Vast variety of knowledge, tons of learning opportunities

Minpunten

• Super fast-paced, have to juggle multiple tasks in parallel • Tasks on hand are micromanaged, expecting significant progress every week • Geopolitics, if your team is not local, expect peers whom are not willing to share information and you will be knocking into walls trying to complete a simple task • Poor documentation, to understand certain things, you have to delve into the code-level to understand how interconnections are made • Poor distribution of IP feature ownership, some features are only taken care of by one person; if that person is reluctant to share information or is on leave, you have no way to consult that person regarding the featurre • Output-oriented instead of learning-oriented, you will not be given time to learn the big picture of things, but only focus on completing your assigned deliverables • Unrealistic datelines, expects new hires to complete four tasks that involves major code development just two months into the job

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.
