      Great work-life balance. Great time to join if you believe the stock will go back up one day.

      Pros

      Flexible work hours. Managers don't normally keep track of work hours or ask you to be physically in the office all the time. Good work-life balance. Work days and work hours are flexible as long as the hours are about right. I have never been rejected on my vacation requests either. (Of course I don't purposely take days off during the busy time)

      Cons

      AMD is burning cash and not making enough revenue to cover the costs. Lay offs are depressing. Stock going down is depressing. I came from ATI. One of the first thing AMD senior managements promised in 2006 when they aquired ATI was to continue the quarterly all-hand meetings. They failed on the very first quarter after the merger. There hasn't been enough visibility of what's going on besides your own team.

      A great place when it's making money.

      Pros

      Access to leading edge technology. The work atmosphere is generally fairly civil and relaxed. You also get to say you're taking a part in taking on the 800lb gorilla known as Intel.

      Cons

      Stiff competition and the tendency to bleed cash constantly. The stress level can get high when the company is losing money which is often which leads to low moral.

      Overall a decent company to work for

      Pros

      Employees enjoy great exposure and relatively easy access to many different aspects of technical issues, which can be very beneficial for a person's professional growth and broadening knowledge portfolio. The company is generally supportive of employees' participation in conferences, trade groups and other professional activities. Various award programs exist that recognize employee contribution on a regular basis. Information sharing is generally promoted.

      Cons

      The company may be unintentionally discouraging employees to keep further developing domain expertise. Instead, it is trying to emphasize 'leadership' ability, by which it primarily looks for project management type of activities in the employee. Often times, people who pay attention and time to get along with others but with quite limited contribution or technical capability may advance better than those who just maintain normal professional relationship but with stronger technical ability.
