Pros

The semiconductor business provides interesting and challenging problems to solve. AMD provides 401(k) matching. There are learning opportunities everywhere.

Cons

AMD pay is below market for software people. Frequent overtime and a chaotic environment make for a pressure cooker work environment. Interactions are sometimes contentious and unpleasant. The company's managers seem to depend on the systemic exploitation of labor.

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.
