Pros

- Money to pay bills

Cons

- Terrible middle managers. Completely unqualified and untrained psychopath who manages through fear and intimidation....i guess they call it people skills these days - Office politics. My manager makes us spend hours debugging problems in order to ensure its not something that will make him look bad. Micromanages the way employees write emails. - Career advancement is available only to butt kissers. There is no "pay for performance". The AMD way is just a fancy graphic that appears on the CEOs slideshow. It does not apply in day to day business. Manager controls who gets bonuses. If you don't kiss butt, you don't get anywhere. - Psychopaths who cannot manage their emotions and don't know how to behave in professional environments. Everyone will try to assert what little authority they have over you.

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.
