Pros

Most of the quarterly all hands, interfacing with executives seem pretty transparent. They tell it --- close to how it is. More execs should be like Forrest who is in charge of Datacenter.

Cons

When certain execs hype their own product lines and numbers to the employee base - in a self-serving way. Comes off politician-like. As if another year of employment is like an election cycle. Not the kind of behavior that should be role-modeled.

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.
