Pros

Benefits are great. Pay is good but in today's market will not increase much after you onboard.

Cons

Stressful work environment that increases in tension with each and every layoff as workload increases and morale continues to decline. Dog eat dog corporate environment - competitive rather than collaborative, reactive rather than responsive.

Pros

brand value is good.. but unless you have been with the company for a long time, you will not enjoy the work place as the company is trying to build upon by saving money every possible way.

Cons

other than brand rest of the benefits or other aspects of the company are on par with the industry's standard or below the standard. Especially considering that the outlook is not good.. it is a good idea for freshers to look out for some company that has good outlook..

Pros

- Learn lot of cutting edge CPU/GPU knowledge and how to deal with politics. - Learn and get away unless you are bosom friend of your boss. You will get bulletproof vest exempt from layoff.

Cons

- Very political and nepotism. Hiring and promotion only for their dull and unqualified old buddies. Work hard doesn't mean have chance to get reward or promotion, but reciprocated by layoff. - Low level developers are undervalued and overworked. Managers and old timers are relax, slow, unproductive and WFH. Perfect work-life balance and fat salary for them. Top notch favoritism. Shameless mouth-blabbering wins over dedicated and skilled hard workers. - Almost two years turmoil, but it won't stop. Upper management cuts many x86 projects and treats employee like COST and DIRT, middle management only care about their job aggressively throw their resources under the bus to cover their ass. Later on, they have to hire engineers back to run projects. This stupid "AMD routine" never saved cost and defer product launch schedule. - Now this is a place for mouth-blabbers, smart-talkers and shameless butt-kissers. Not a place for skilled and honest folks to invent exciting products.
