Pros

Good work-life balance. Competitive compensation and benefits. Available perks such as discounts on AMD products. Most colleagues are nice.

Cons

Leadership has propensity to over promise and under deliver. Inter-team conflicts are common. Mid-level management has a tendency to treat employees as human resources by assigning jobs based on who's free to do it rather than who's good at doing it. Mid-level management has low attachment and interest in the products the company produces.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
