Pros

Flexible work timing Excellent infrastructure

Cons

Expected to learn everything - No training provided No work life balance Incapable management staff People Managers not capable of understanding technology MTS promoted to manager are really horrible- not able to manage anything Adequate lab space not provided Owner ship model is followed which means even if a hardware is not purchased or a port is not opened. It is the responsibility of engineer. Management safely washes its hand over it. Red Tapism Management tends to hire there relative using contract to permanent route Politics dominates over hard work One needs to oil the ego of Managers to become there favourate to grow in the organization Firing and Hiring freeze is the name of AMD No money . AMD can close any time. Never heard that AMD made profits. Its just AMD has less or more losses over previous years CEOs comes and promises to change AMD to profitability. It never happens Employees are not allowed to choose there career. They are forced to do jobs which they don't like. Talented people leave AMD and what is left is leftovers. People who can't find job outside stick to AMD. This is 100 % true for management and 70% true for Engineering side
