Toxic and Detrimental to Well-being

Pros

Exciting technical work and cool products

Cons

- Toxic management and horrible managers who are not technical, and would rather micromanage - Condescending and patronizing behaviour in most pre-Silicon teams - Horrible trend of seniors looking down at juniors, and not giving breathing room, or providing proper teachings in early stage of career - No team spirit and sense of community - Sub-par salaries

Pros

- Good compensation - You work on things that matter and can see their impact - Leadership is strong, with leaders commonly being experts in the groups they lead

Cons

- Work/Life Balance is a joke. Consistent late evening calls, and while they put on a facade of making personal life important, at the core they want you to devote your life to AMD - 3 days in office 2 days wfh, and they actively monitor you. Anything less needs Leadership approval (i.e. they let you go and they hire someone who will come in at least 3 days a week). - Very few "fun" events (i.e. happy hours, top golf, etc.) - Overall, focus is very much on working hard, with little thought given to fun, rest, and personal time. - Specifically for finance, Quarter Closes are absolute nightmares. Worst I've ever seen at any company. You lose at least 1 week of your life every 3 months.

Toxic Work Environment

Pros

Many people think AMD has potential for exponential growth

Cons

Thoughout my career, I have worked domestically and internationally - across multiple Fortune 500 companies, and I've never worked for a company as toxic and broken as AMD. They are desperate and hungry to be in the leagues of major tech companies - but at their core, they are extremely dated and broken in bureaucracy. The culture is so toxic, they suck the life out of you by priding themselves on working weekends, skipping holidays and precious family time and celebrations with the hope and prayer for a year end bonus in exchange. This company has the opposite values of any company I'd like to work for long term. There have been so many former employees that have gone to HR about management violating ethics, policies, etc., but the reports are immediately silenced and discarded. The same toxic management continues to prevail, at the expense of so many who wish to escape. Very scary company - stay away!
