Pros
My favorite part about working at AMD is the people I get to work with on a daily basis. The folks on my team are amazing, smart, and dedicated individuals who care about their work and want the company to succeed. Work-life balance is fantastic.
Cons
Over the last 3 to 5 years, I feel that interactions between organizations at AMD have have become much more confrontational. I have noticed much more finger pointing and failure to take responsibility. It's very likely that this change has been caused by resources being stretched too thin. There is a strong push from upper management to transfer more responsibilities to pre-silicon teams, but those teams have so far been unable to deliver on their commitments in order to enable post-silicon teams to be successful. The trend appears to be to move jobs overseas to lesser-skilled workers in India and Asia. My team has been tasked with training a set of employees in India. I suspect I will be let go later this year.
