Pros

Though you are an intern, you can learn a lot after the internship. My mentor not only let me take responsibility for the whole recruiting process, but also provided me opportunities to help on projects of other HR functions. After the internship, I have a very clear eye on the HRM of this company as a whole.

Cons

During my first week of internship, I felt restricted. On one hand, everyone was busy doing their own projects, no one would care about you, you had to ask, and ask again for help. On the other hand, if I want to use the phone, the copywriter, I had to ask for the password. While for the following weeks, I just got used of it. Actually nothing really bad.

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.
