Pros

There's some amazing technical work being done at AMD I feel proud going to Best Buy and seeing our parts for sale in desktops and laptops. Right now, I'm writing this review on a processor I helped design.

Cons

AMD has grown way too quickly since the sucess of the K8/AMD64 parts. The sites have grown in number, resulting in fractured leadership and power struggles between the sites. After being at AMD when it was much smaller, it's hard to adjust to the large company dynamics of today.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
