Pros

Good flexibility for teams to work from home depending on the team. Regular meetings with manager. Good access to training materials. Good site location for access and really nice landscaping in the business park and around the cafeteria very relaxing on breaks. Good onsite gym with lots of options for classes. Great cafeteria staff and food. Good employee initiatives like groups and events like fitness month and vegetable growing.

Cons

There was a sense that the atmosphere on site was lacking after the pandemic. It was hard to meet people onsite.

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.
