Business Outlook

Pros

1. Excellent Work culture and work life balance. 2. Friendly and helpful colleagues. 3. Very Good technology. 4. Realistic deadlines. 5. Respect and recognition (some times comes late) for the work you do. 6. Flexible work timings.

Cons

1. Compensation is not as per Market standards. 2. Promotions are not easy to achieve. 3. Company frequently make losses due to bad top management (AET) decisions. 4. HR's tend to pay the new joiners more than what the existing employee with the same experience would get. I have seen people moving out of the company for this reason and would join back after a brief stint in other company to get better compensation/designation change. 5. Frequent changes to the Product Road Map often confuses employees. 6. Loyal employee's often get ignored and taken for granted when it comes to merit increase. 7. Uncertainty about AMD's long term future prospects.
