Pros

1) Overall business outlook is positive 2) Capable CEO 3) Good technical opportunities and skillset growth as each org supporting multiple projects 4) Faster decisions are made and company is not process heavy 5) Executives (Director, sr Directors, VP, Sr. Fellows) can understand technical discussions with junior engineers. This helps faster problem solving.

Cons

1) Working mothers face gender pay parity and career growth challenges. It's openly discussed among coworkers. 2) Toxic, dog eat dog culture resulting in attrition within 2 yr or less stay is very common. 3) Management micro-analyze org survey feedback and harass suspected employees individually. Employees helping stage positive outlook in HR meetings are favored. 5) Noticeable nepotism providing second generation employees better job roles and faster growth opportunities.

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.
