Pros

Work life balance and benefits currently better than most organizations when comparing with today's standard. Traditional corporate culture has not been destroyed as is the case by many large companies via lean practices and over working staff. Nice new work facility / campus in Austin.

Cons

Management competency not at market levels, individuals promoted prematurely. Accountability lacking at many layers. Most individuals on teams are okay with missing dates. Due to long tenure of many employees there is bad blood between many groups. The outsourced groups are low quality and hold AMD back. New ideas are not accepted easily unless required or forced.

Pros

Flexible hours / dress code (in my building anyway), everyone treats each other as equals. I'm a software guy, and they treat us better than most employers in Austin. Things are largely a meritocracy, so if you have a good idea you can make a difference regardless of rank. AMD is big enough that you can find projects that will interest you, and managers are usually pretty good about letting you work for other teams and/or on something that you will enjoy more.

Cons

There are some serious documentation black holes (either it doesn't exist or it's old/wrong, hard to find the information you need to do your job). They expect you to work hard (I know people working 70-80 hrs), but aren't big sticklers for face time. Just get it done.
