      Pros

      Getting paid is great but having no time to do anything else but work is great for workaholics. I love it when IT pushes another Win 11 update that takes 30 minutes to load so I actually have time to use the restroom.

      Cons

      This place is a modern day sweat shop. Putting 14 hour days most days and weekends! The company is so cheap now they won’t buy boards to do our job and expect a 30% increase in productivity by using AI on top of 5% yearly workload increase. You do the compounding math. How about pumping up my pay that much at the beginning of the year and not 7 months behind. They pump out so many devices nobody can keep up and the quality of our products has gone way downhill. Too many meetings. I would rather be mopping floors or mowing grass to get my life back.

      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.
