Pros

- Barely competitive salary structure. That's it.

Cons

- Very bad appraisals, appraisal percentages don't exceed single digit ever for CT-PD team. - Very incompetent management, managers will make your blood boil with their incompetence, with the onset of AI, these managers have started using it as a crutch for filling their knowledge gaps. It is very infuriating when such managers just copy paste an answer from AI for your technical doubts, these people don't have a brain of their own to use. - Utterly intolerable work life balance, management has openly declared that work life balance doesn't exist at all and is a myth, half of the team is in US time zone and following the Indian mentality of slavery, no manager has the guts to question anybody from the US team just end up being sycophants, so you as an engineer are forced to work in your local hours as well as US hours, so you can expect working all round the clock with no regards to your relaxation time. - I am not aware of culture at other teams at AMD, but I will surely not wish my worst enemy to work in the CT-PD team.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
