Pros

If you are driven , want to learn new things and stretch your responsibility ....you will have plenty of opportunities to do so(mostly because half the company doesn't care or doesn't want or doesn't know how to do the work)

Cons

1) Middle Management is mostly either incompetent or not willing to rock a sinking boat. 2) WAY too top heavy with too many new directors and VPs from outside the company who have no clue about the AMD culture( which was a big plus for AMD for a long time - not anymore) 3) The quality of hires over the last few years ( especially at the management level) has deteriorated to the point that some of the hires are just warm bodies.

Valuable experience, but no career growth

Pros

Very bright, assertive, talented people. Big budgets, opportunities to work on large projects in a variety of formats. Pays fairly well, but make sure to come in as high as possible because promotions and raises are only for the loudest noisemakers and people who show steady results and growth over time are ignored. Flexible schedules.

Cons

Without a disciplined structure all those talented, assertive people walk all over each other and spend more time fighting amongst themselves than against the competition. Huge wastes of time, energy, enthusiasm, and ultimately, money. No continuity in planning over time - the latest, coolest, most exciting thing gets the attention whenever new leadership comes in. Existing projects, priorities and people are scrapped. Expect nothing to last more than 6 months.

Pros

Getting paid is great but having no time to do anything else but work is great for workaholics. I love it when IT pushes another Win 11 update that takes 30 minutes to load so I actually have time to use the restroom.

Cons

This place is a modern day sweat shop. Putting 14 hour days most days and weekends! The company is so cheap now they won’t buy boards to do our job and expect a 30% increase in productivity by using AI on top of 5% yearly workload increase. You do the compounding math. How about pumping up my pay that much at the beginning of the year and not 7 months behind. They pump out so many devices nobody can keep up and the quality of our products has gone way downhill. Too many meetings. I would rather be mopping floors or mowing grass to get my life back.
