Pros

Casual environment/ dress code. Flexible working hours. Work-life balance can be achieved. Easy access to higher management and 1:1 regular interviews may be helpful to carry out career plan.

Cons

No clear visibility in career promotion/ advancement. It seems to be very random and depressing. Management decision-making process sometimes really unclear and depends on personal connections. For example, my offer was changed from contract to full-time without compensation advance. HR department told me it was a done deal and they did not even ask me about it.

Pros

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).

Cons

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.
