Pros

AMD Ryzen is a known name though it is not as famous as Intel

Cons

AMD India (Bangalore) is the worst place to work. The management is pathetic. They don't need engineers, they need robots that work day and night and simply follow the instructions. Micromanagement is at the core of the team. Managers and Directors are dictators here. Engineers are slaves to them. You won't find more arrogant and rude director and manager in the industry. You need to follow each and every word they say. They are always right. Nobody is going to help you. If you join AMD you are on your own. But everyone will ask for status updates day and night. Instead of actual work, most of the focus is on meetings. You will spend half of your working hours in meetings and giving status. Therefore making it obvious that you need to spend extra hours to complete the actual work. There are lot of VLSI companies having much better work culture than AMD. Join them and save your career. Once you join AMD, there won't be any increments and bonuses given to you for more than a year. Save your personal life and your career. Stay away from AMD.
