      Pros

      Working for the "little guy" in the CPU space and sometimes winning against the big competitor. To be able to develop great products and sell them with a fraction of the people and money is exciting.

      Cons

      A sense of dread about the future (of your job and of the company). Sr. Management doesn't communicate a clear plan to the worker bees on how we're going to get out of this hole and return to profitability. There's also a lot of the old boy's club still around and many decisions are made for political or personality driven reasons and not because it makes business sense. I don't get a sense there is a career path for me and opportunities in other groups are unknown.

      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.
