      Pros

      Working for the "little guy" in the CPU space and sometimes winning against the big competitor. To be able to develop great products and sell them with a fraction of the people and money is exciting.

      Cons

      A sense of dread about the future (of your job and of the company). Sr. Management doesn't communicate a clear plan to the worker bees on how we're going to get out of this hole and return to profitability. There's also a lot of the old boy's club still around and many decisions are made for political or personality driven reasons and not because it makes business sense. I don't get a sense there is a career path for me and opportunities in other groups are unknown.

      Pros

      There aren't many left, they all went away due to cutbacks. Three weeks of vacation the first year, goes up to four weeks per year after 4 or 5 years. Most manager let you telecommute at least a couple times a month. They are pretty flexible about what hours you work. There used to a pretty good sabbatical program but no all of 2008 doesn't count toward the time requirement. The discounted stock program is gone with no indication if it will ever return. Bonuses are largely based on company performance so they are effectively gone. If they bring back those benefits it could be good.

      Cons

      Most of the financial benefits are on hold. Bonuses are based largely based on company performance instead of individual performance so they are pretty much out the window for now. No raises for all of 2008 and maybe longer. Promotions are based on ranking with other engineers at the same level company wide and how much your manager is willing to fight with upper management for you. recognition of any sort is very hard to come by.

      Unclear prospects at AMD

      Pros

      Flexible hours are good. You can have a chance to work on new projects, on things only a few companies in the world are working on, but only if you are in the right team.

      Cons

      You may end up doing boring things, using oldfashioned tools and flows, and slowly lose your competencies since the rate of the knowledge decay is very high in the industry. The company as a whole has a hazy future. It has a surprisingly bureaucratic structure. AMD is in a steady decline as a company, showing big inertia and slow response to the challenges at hand. Depending on the position and location, it is possible your employer may change, or you can get laid off.
