Pros

Work from home is the only best thing

Cons

Poor management, the managers micro manage the staff and set unrealistic goals. AMD revenues dropping despite having good products but due to not proper marketing and people management. The Senior manager is self-centred and act like superhero to save the day. The managers and team lead never treat the staff politely and guide properly. Staff turnover very high from all department. The HR department not co-operative and never provide proper guideline. Very strong office politic in AMD Cyberjaya. Too much cost cutting.

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.
