      Great technology, but bureaucracy hinders performance.

      Pros

      A chance to work on the latest and greatest technology in the PC industry with lots of very smart coworkers. We get to work on projects that will define mainstream PC platforms in the 3-5 year horizon, well before most other downstream companies are involved. Lots of great products are in the pipeline, and now we just need to execute to get back in the black.

      Cons

      Poor company performance, excessive meetings and bureaucracy. The company is still struggling to complete the integration of ATI into AMD, and the vastly different company cultures are probably hindering this transition a bit. Long-term AMDers are used to down business cycles such as the current one. Newer employees may not have seen something like this in the past, which can make them nervous about the future.

      Pros

      interest to focus on microprocessor products. It is a challenging working environment when there is activity. The company has the ability to spend a lot of money on new project and gets good support from the contractor teams.

      Cons

      too many people doing the same thing. At the present time, AMD is in stand-by mode. One of the fab has been completly unequipped and people have been waiting long enough for the decision concerning the close future. If AMD is to go on a joint venture, why is the information not shared with the employees. I would like to see as well a more centrylized organisation to avois parallel projects of the same nature to be ignitiated at the same time.

      Pros

      I love the people I work with. They are all dedicated and passionate, intelligent and hard working but they also know how to have fun. My particular manager is extremely flexible about when and where I work and encourages work-life balance. My manager is very quick to praise and I feel genuinly appreciated for the work I do. My immediate management chain is very open and communicates information readily. Our current benefits package is outstanding.

      Cons

      We have been experiencing some difficult financial times and as a result, bonuses and raises have been negligible. There is little focus on process which has created a great deal of execution issues as the company has expanded rapidly in the last 5 years. Projects can be difficult to implement because of endless rounds of approvals.
