Pros
-Still some very cool technology despite the low morale and sub-optimal methodologies in place. -Very smart engineers. -Can still compete with Intel despite the situation that the company is in.
Kontras
-Mercenary executives with basically no work history at AMD or no emotional ties to the company. -Horrible stack ranking & review process. -No bonuses. -No technical training. -No stability. Multiple rounds of layoffs every year. Don't keep too many personal items in your cubicle, limit them to what you can pack in a "standard AMD layoff box", approx. 25x20x16 in. You will thank me if they eventually come for you. -More than half of the engineers are of Indian or Chinese origin (myself included), but literally NONE of the technical management is. Draw your own judgement. If you're a foreign-born engineer, don't expect career advancement here.
