Pros

Valuable experience for someone new to the industry. Gives a lot of knowledge about how both a software and hardware company operates. AMD has been in the field for such a long time, it has made a name for itself and knows what its doing. The company has a very "lax" setting, and all the engineers are chill.

Cons

The work can be pretty monotonous, especially for new hires/interns. It's a daily grind of doing somewhat mundane but essential tasks. The pay is considerably low to competitors, employees tend to be kind of anti-social as they all do their own thing. It's somewhat hard to thrive for someone new.
