Pros: The people on my team were nice and supportive. They gave me meaningful projects that contributed to the work we did and were happy to help when I got stuck. Overall, a robust intern program. There were lots of intern and team-building activities outside of work. The university relations people were great and reached out after graduation to set up interviews for full-time roles. It was a great experience.

Cons: Lack of overall guidance or mentorship. Goals for my internship weren't ever explicitly laid out, nor were there regular meetings to determine direction or progress.

Pros: Very good work environment. Flexible work time and reasonable supervision. Work on the cutting edge of technology, a good opportunity to raise your technical skills. Good to have such a record on your resume.

Cons: Extremely difficult to grow. There is no way to be promoted if you work more than speak. Opposite, you are successful if your PowerPoint and speaking skills are higher than C++ proficiency. Lot of meetings with zero output. Sometimes a process is more important than a result. Too many unsatisfied, highly experienced engineers leave the company. To fill the gap, AMD likes very much to hire external people rather than promote internal ones.

Pros: - Good opportunities to learn - Friendly staff

Cons: - Pay lower than industry average
