Pros

flexible (but long) schedule and gym

Cons

underpaid and overworked. managers are not technical. careful when managers ask you to work extra hours during bring up. bonus often falls short of the target. also, the finance people only cares about their bottom line and not you. location in austin is kind fo suburb-ish and you need to drive to get anywhere

Pros

There is no good reason to work at AMD (as an engineer)

Cons

Staffing is boom and bust - today they hire, tomorrow they lay off. Line management is engineering throwbacks so tread cautiously to stay on their good side. Be careful of your co-workers - they will throw you under the bus to save their own skin. The work is all incremental changes to existing stuff. Not great for skills - the industry will outpace you.

Pros

Flexible work environment but you’ll be working all the time no matter where you are, free gym membership that you won’t have time to use, good training ground for newbies since everyone does 2-3 jobs, openly supports LGBTQ employees but you have to pretend you don’t have a family if you’re a mom.

Cons

AMD operates like the world’s oldest start up. Budgets are always tight with incredibly high expectations and minimal staff. You will easily clock 60-70+ hours/week and EVERYTHING will be your job from high level strategic customer meetings/presentations to ordering carpeting for vendor booths. It takes much longer to get promoted if you are female although AMD has a female CEO. Very little employee appreciation by managers because all funds are allocated to the business.
