Pros

AMD permits a better work / life balance then many other companies.

Cons

Executive management does not look out for the employees best interests. They are more concerned about creating new companies then the employees well being. We are constantly under the gun for layoffs and have not shown a profit in 2 years. Morale is awful right now and jobs are being outsourced oversees. I used to love coming to work here, but morale has gotten worse and worse over the years.

Pros

This is a fast-paced competitive industry -- lots to learn and a lot of very bright folks are working at AMD. The company facilitates knowledge sharing between projects, employees, disciplines. It is very easy to be involved in several projects around the company. AMD does not have much cash to spare, every project is effectively viewed as key, and this is personally rewarding. Relationships between employees are good, cordial. Some people are good friends outside of work, work-relations are very good.

Cons

Benefits are so-so. AMD's competitive advantage is difficult to maintain, and in the CPU industry there is no place for misstep. With little cash in the bank account it isn't clear where AMD is heading next...

Pros

It's one of the highest profile tech companies, due to the fact that there are really only two companies making microprocessors for the whole world. As a result, you get to work with some of the most advanced technologies and designs. The people are all very laid back and great to work with, and will even stop their own work to help you. There is a real sense of community. People don't just go to work and go home to their separate lives, they actually hang out outside of work. Lastly, there is very little inter-departmental politics, in-fighting, and rampant backstabbing, unlike at some other microprocessor company.

Cons

Instability due to the fact your only competitor is a ruthless behemoth.
