Pros

The base compensation is average to above average, and there tends to be good respect for work-life balance. There are some really great people working there, and pockets of support for professional and personal growth.

Cons

While AMD talks a good talk about professional growth, I found myself blocked a bit as I tried to develop my career. There's a tendency to pigeonhole good people into their role, and while it makes sense, it's a frustrating place to be. The company changes direction in messaging, marketing, and focus often, making it very hard to really maintain a consistent story. The overall experience is decent, but lacking when it comes to really developing one's career.
