Pros

My co-workers are bright, friendly, collaborative, hard-working, and genuine. This is a place where you are encouraged to make decisions and take action, even if it is a mistake and you have to course correct. I have ownership of my business area and the freedom to drive improvements. Our CEO, Lisa Su, makes strategic investments and other decisions that gives me great confidence in the future of the company. Compensation is very competitive.

Cons

This is a fast growning company. So we are suffering through the normal growing pains that happen as we transform our business to meet that growth.

Pros

It's a big company. So, a lot of great benefits and high pay. Also, a lot of opportunity for career advancement and internal transfers if a particular job/team doesn't fit (to avoid losing RSUs). Plus, they're not too hard on you regarding performance since all the performance reviews are qualitative rather than quantitative (that could be both a pro and a con, honestly).

Cons

It's a big company. So, a lot of bureaucracy. They get in the way of themselves requiring endless approvals for spending. Also small organizations within AMD being territorial about their particular domain rather than being as open as possible inhibits rapid progress. Also, pushing for "diversity and inclusion" is racist. They should ignore race, not try to have a representative sampling of the population. I give them a low score there because DEI is racist. But not minimal because it's only something the HR dept cares about, normal employees effectively ignore race from what I can tell. So even if management is woke, the company (the individuals) are not.
