Pros

Open and direct culture. Nearly everything can be discussed openly, and people here tend not to hide bad news. I'm not saying every BU/ everybody here would be equally transparent but as long as I have seen, the people I'm dealing with are pretty reasonable. If you are in the core BU, I mean, GPU, you probably have enough exposure to interesting and state-of-the-art technology and engineering practice. This may not apply to other BUs which I've heard complains about not having enough fun there.

Cons

More and more "data driven" decisions were made. Data driven is conceptually the right way to do, but when people who don't know how to interpret the data start to take in charge, the decisions tend to only address short-term perspectives, instead supporting fussier, hard-to-quantify long term goals. Also the 401k match plan is like a joke.

Pros

Challenging projects, working with some very smart people on some of the largest and fastest chips in the industry, with great benefits, flexible working hours.

Cons

Some outdated tools and processes used on the HW engineering teams; average compensation, with very low stock compensation / equity (used to be better a few years back) unless you're a manager; Not many free perks + employee discounts, etc. compared to other companies in the area

Pros

Flexibility of work timings Open environment with good visibility Aggressiveness will take you places.

Cons

Offshore meetings in terrible times After initial salary compensation, monetarily is not great. No stocks options/rsu, no 401K matching, no profit sharing or bonus. One feels unappreciated during performance reviews as time progresses. No real benefits.
