Tight Budgets + Crushing Amount of Work
Pros
Flexible work environment but you’ll be working all the time no matter where you are, free gym membership that you won’t have time to use, good training ground for newbies since everyone does 2-3 jobs, openly supports LGBTQ employees but you have to pretend you don’t have a family if you’re a mom.
Cons
AMD operates like the world’s oldest start up. Budgets are always tight with incredibly high expectations and minimal staff. You will easily clock 60-70+ hours/week and EVERYTHING will be your job from high level strategic customer meetings/presentations to ordering carpeting for vendor booths. It takes much longer to get promoted if you are female although AMD has a female CEO. Very little employee appreciation by managers because all funds are allocated to the business.
