Pros

Good projects and very good CEO

Cons

Because of politics and favoritism most of the times even though work is excellent there is less motivation. Pay wise they do poor compared to any other silicon company and we can’t even ask for good pays. Promotions are stalled only if manager is a partial person. As Chinese team is involved they are trying to get Asian culture into the team where no one says no to boss even when he is wrong . I work at Orlando site and if you are getting a better opportunity else where please do go there AMD no doubt looks cool from out but is worst place to be in

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.
