Pros

I was offered a good salary. The manager I reported to in the system was nice to talk to and seemed understanding. Sr Executives tries to be in touch with the grass root soldiers, but the attempts are going futile since even when someone speaks up, a lot gets covered up.

Cons

Since I joined AMD, each day of my life has been worse than the previous one. There is no training for processes and old more established employees do not share knowledge for job security purposes. I have 5 different bosses and they all manage my time and work. There is absolutely no sensitivity to important life incidents. Senior Management does nothing about the bully team members and managers. All they care is the bottom line. Work-life balance is non-existent.

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.
