Pros

Not really many pro's.

Cons

The management is immature and does not know their industry, which is why they have not sold anything and are struggling. AMD laid off 7 percent of their workforce while the server group had a 17 percent layoff which tells a lot. They are not innovative with their product design, Supermicro has more server innovation than this group does. Engineering is horrible in being able to support sales. We had to send engineers out to customers sites for weeks to get a system running. They will try to sell you on how great their product is and how great they are doing, don't listen to them as it is all a sham. They are struggling, have sub par engineering and do not have a clue on the server market. LAYOFFS ABOUND, STAY AWAY FROM AMD!!!

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.
