Pros

Work and projects are good. The way work is managed is dependent on the manager, but if you don't like it, you can switch to another team. Most teams have politics-free work environments. The work-life balance again depends on your manager, but generally, it is good. There is flexibility to work from home as well as the office. The standard protocol post-COVID is: compulsory work from the office for a minimum of 3 days to retain your desk, monitors, and workstation setup. Else, with prior manager's approval, you can work from home permanently with an office-provided laptop, and you'll have to invest in an ergonomic kit (office desk, monitor, office chair, etc.) at your personal expense.

Cons

The salary is very low compared to the competition in India. RSUs/stock awards paid in India are quite low compared to other companies in India, as well as compared to the AMD US office.

Advice to Management

Give better pay to retain your employees. At least provide the same salary as your competition, such as Intel, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA.
