Pros

Most people are nice and does their work well. Good team effort across different teams. Decent salary for entry level, but not much progress. Hybrid work

Cons

Long working hours. Toxic work environment. Manager often make racist/controversial remarks(no idea how she can get away with this for so long but no one actually does anything about it since she is “capable” in her job), very gossipy, make nasty remarks about others as though the people around can’t hear. Not a conducive work environment, have to be in office or you are frowned upon(even if you have given valid reasons). It can also get quite noisy as there are many unproductive chatting irrelevant to work. When given the feedback to manager, I was told that it is something I have to accept and learn, rather than actually making the work a better place to work in. Definitely not the type of work environment I would want. Company also started to track the number of times employees actually come into the office in order to ensure you are utilising your seat/table. So much effort being put into this sort of matters - is it necessary to track? Typical toxic corporate environment - and I was told to accept that’s how it is rather than the manager trying to change her management style. Being micromanaged but insisted that they are not micromanaging, not open minded and insist on hearing things only the way they want.

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.
