Avantages

Salary and compensation package can be very, very good. Hard challenges and varied projects keep things diverse.

Inconvénients

Previous longtime legacy Xilinx employee. AMD exhibits zero respect for work / life balance. All employees I knew were horribly overloaded and stressed out. Late work and weekend work is the norm, and management will still demand more. Micromanagement is the primary model. There is an extreme caste system in play at all levels, and if you are not in the top two rungs of your organization, your will note that in addition to your professional identity, your social interactions with the group suffers outside of the office. Significant low hanging fruit exists for improvement, yet constructive suggestions for easily-implemented changes are ignored. There is a very high "not invented by me" sort of dynamic at the director and above level. The DEI efforts are turbocharged at AMD, slanting opportunities without primary regard to ability, and general morale is very low. Not too long ago, AMD ranked as one of the most problematic companies from which to be employed. I think the average tenure of an employee at AMD is about 2 years. I don't think this has changed.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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).

Inconvénients

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.
