Pros

Work can be very challenging and fun depending on what team you get into Very laid back culture across the board and you can have an awesome work-life balance Career growth opportunities are ok ok. Very good benefits and 401k plan

Cons

Compensation could be very challenging General image of the company is not that good in the industry and recent layoffs has made it worse Usually no difference in bonus/pay hikes between high and average performers Lot of good people have left. So only few people are remaining and others are new

Pros

There is a lot of opportunity to grow and direct your career. The company is fairly open, decisions seem to be communicated when they are made, and we are generally free to cross chat between teams. Most low to mid level managers seem to have been engineers, so they tend to have a good grasp over the full process of the groups they manage. Most of the high level mangers have been with AMD or some other semiconductor company for most of their careers. In the Orlando office, we have been hiring a lot of younger engineers.

Cons

Changes to catch up with the market have caused a lot of shifts over the past couple years. Pay is competitive, but not great. Internal awards tend to go to customer facing teams.

Pros

Comparable compensation, provides opportunity to succeed, great teams.

Cons

Limited funding can be frustrating as there isn't enough time or resources to really implement creative solutions to problems, most solutions tend be band aid or reactionary.
