Teammates and reporting managers have very good technical and interpersonal skills. They are kind and very helpful.

Hiring managers are also friendly and very approachable.

Not much work pressure in general.

Interns/co-ops are given a lot of responsibility, so they get to learn a lot. It's a great place for beginners and new college grads to learn about the architecture and micro-architecture of state-of-the-art CPUs.

The company has been struggling financially since 2014. It also lost a lot of market share in the PC and server CPU markets to Intel. The company has been in huge financial debt for a few years. Some poor decisions by senior management and fabrication screw-ups by Global Foundries have caused the company's poor performance in the CPU markets in recent years.

It would be a good idea to increase the size of the design and verification teams so that the design cycles become shorter and products get launched without unnecessary delays.
