      Pros

      My experience with AMD was that on the whole it is a very work life balance oriented company. I always felt the company was a key player in the industry and was moving things forward and challenging conventional thinking in its fight agianst Intel from technological and also "anti-monopolistic" standpoint. This is something to be proud of.

      Cons

      It might seem too easy to say this but it's true -- the best reason is also the biggest downside to working at AMD. The endlessly repeating cycle between survival and 'almost' abundance that characterizes this company's ongoing battle against Intel. It takes a unique kind of stamina to choose to fight such a battle. The repeated swatting this company takes from Intel gets tiresome after a certain amount of time... although one might say the folks there are gluttons for this kind of punishment, myself included.

      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.
