Vantaggi

9 to 5 hours; You don't actually have to do real work to get ahead, all you have to do is suck up to management and just keep nodding; Decent pay package. There is a decent gym. You will be working on really complicated designs. If you are self-motivated, you will learn a lot about x86 design.

Svantaggi

No career advancement available. The ship is sinking quickly due to the incompetency of management. All the smart people have left the company within the past 2 years. The few bright people that have stayed behind are only there to wait for the green cards.

Vantaggi

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).

Svantaggi

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.
