Pros
- The company advocates that they are people oriented. In some ways that is true, they say our salaries are benchmarked often, benefits are given quite generously, gifts, events and bonuses if company performance is good. In certain teams teamwork is great, sharing of knowledge is encouraged, freedom of speech is accepted. - OT claim newly introduced in Jan 2023. - Many "co-curriculum" to join and have opportunities to network with colleagues from different teams and departments. - Job rotation opportunities within the company is available.
Cons
- As you progress up career ladder, you can say goodbye to work-life balance. Lack of consideration to decrease employee workload even after voicing out long overtime hours (working from 8AM to 10PM or later) without OT pay. Although AMD OT claim introduced in Jan 2023, we are not allowed to claim it yet as we were informed that is it still in discussion regarding who is eligible for what (seems like management is making it harder for employees to have better compensation and creating unnecessary bottleneck). - Even with high workload and no time, you are expected to join "co-curriculums", if not, if may negatively affect your performance review. - Tyrannical management in certain divisions, so within these teams, there is no freedom of speech. Job rotation is encouraged on paper, but when it comes down to it, they might try to stop you from leaving your current team with fear mongering or even threats. - Management ask feedback from you, but may not even consider it. You are expected to be quick and efficient, but management do not practice what they preach. Compensation comes too slow and ineffectively. You are expected to give more than what you get. - Yearly performance review rating dictates that at least 1 person from your team to be rated the lowest performer, no matter how hard everyone is working, there is always 1 person who needs to take the fall.
