Pros

Great technical leadership, great managers. It's an awesome place to learn, develop, and grow.

Mostly fun, really smart people to work with. The work is interesting, and if you aren't happy, people are receptive and will assign you a different role.

Work-life balance was generally good.

I didn't realize until after I left how awesome the accountability and support structures at AMD were.

Cons

Their in-house verification framework is awful, and the people who developed it are pretentious and defensive when you ask them to document it. Overall compensation is about 50% less than other places (both of these "cons" may have changed since I was there).

Advice to Management

You're not a $2B company anymore; try to compensate more fairly. Also, I miss you.
