Pros

If you are looking to learn the ins and outs of a fab-based silicon technology company there is nowhere else to start but AMD (unless you want to go straight to the Intel). AMD has access to key technology partners the world over, allowing you to see how products will be integrated into businesses and cultures everywhere.

Cons

It's sad to say it, but the upper management seems truly lost. Employees know as little about what the plan is to succeed as Wall Street does. There were some remarkably bad engineering decisions made with the current CPU and GPU product lines; yet there were even worse management bets made that have now left the company hamstrung and cash poor.

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.
