      Good engineering company to work for

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Technology company pushing the frontiers and fighting the Goliath, to enable customer with a Choice. This is a company with very smart people. There is good career opportunities to grow both in the technical ladder and management ladder. The compensation and benefits match that off the industry. Even with all the drastic changes happening, this is still a very good engineering company to work for.

      Cons

      Cut-throat industry competitor, where a mis-step could cause mayhem. With recent continuation of lay-off's employee morale seems to be off-colour.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Laid back culture, fairly flexible hours, a good number of very smart people to work around, mid-level management is personable and easy to work with

      Cons

      Frequent layoffs, frequent changes in project plans, projects understaffed with no downtime between them, benefits not competitive with other chip design companies in Austin, promotions based on obscure and borderline non-sensical ranking system with manager personality and politics playing a larger role than technical ability/job performance.

      A strong recommendation against working at AMD

      Senior member of technical staff
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Opportunity to wear many hats and learn in the process 2. There is a lot of chaos all around so good, disciplined work gets noticed 3. New campus in Austin with great views 4. Less formal processes allow more creativity (but this could have downside as well)

      Cons

      1. You never know when your "very important" project gets canceled 2. Many managers are not skilled at effective management 3. Very low employee morale. Majority would jump ship if offered equivalent compensation (which in itself is poor compared to industry) 4. No stock or bonus or raises worth writing home about 5. A very perceptible feeling of doom and gloom all around 6. Many Senior technical leaders (Fellow, Sr. Fellows) are below par in their performance and accomplishments creating a feeling that promotion/selection was not based on merit.
