Pros

Superb work life balance. Typical 9-5 job. You learn if you wish to learn, else you can survive by managing .

Cons

Specific to the SoC Verification team: There is so much automation of flows, that it takes lots of consistent effort to know how things work. One tends to get comfortable. Years pass but you dont seem to have learnt skills demanded by the market (UVM/SV, SystemC , VIP modelling, etc)

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.
