Pros

- Basic average, good benefits (dental, optical, medical, bonus) - Lots of exposure for skills, tools and challenging projects -Free ice creams, corporate rate for lots of vendor, sports activities available

Cons

-High expectations that are hard to achieve, if we voice out the concerns it was always glossed with “it is conpany culture you need to adapt” -Promoting work life balance but didn’t actually practice it. You are expected to work long hours until midnight even on weekends if you are involved in projects. -Office politics, no matter how good you are in doing your jobs you need to be politically aware who to please. -Overtime for projects are not paid only on daily tasks if needed to work extra hours. -Workload is very heavy, yet they are having layoffs and terminating team members despite good performance of company. You’ll feel like there’s no job security if you see what type of people they are terminating - High turnover rate, it will be just another resignation and hiring process. It disturbs team dynamics and focus. - Generational gap, they will be less understanding towards newer generations needs and expect everyone to adapt to company culture - Will mostly communicate in mandarin language eventhough in meetings set up. - Generally, feel less like MNC

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.
