Pros

AMD is one of the oldest companies in Silicon Valley. There are many old engineers who are really diligent and respectable. Company is still driving some innovative projects. I mean new direction not only some new families of products. Flexible work schedule. Friendly coworkers.

Cons

Too much layoff which force lots of smart people leave. This is definitely a PAIN for a company in Silicon Valley. Especially, most directly join your competitors.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
