Pros

- Good compensation - You work on things that matter and can see their impact - Leadership is strong, with leaders commonly being experts in the groups they lead

Cons

- Work/Life Balance is a joke. Consistent late evening calls, and while they put on a facade of making personal life important, at the core they want you to devote your life to AMD - 3 days in office 2 days wfh, and they actively monitor you. Anything less needs Leadership approval (i.e. they let you go and they hire someone who will come in at least 3 days a week). - Very few "fun" events (i.e. happy hours, top golf, etc.) - Overall, focus is very much on working hard, with little thought given to fun, rest, and personal time. - Specifically for finance, Quarter Closes are absolute nightmares. Worst I've ever seen at any company. You lose at least 1 week of your life every 3 months.
