Pros

nonstop leading edge work. if you like to work this is a great place, manufacturing is open 24/7 so its easy to just keep on working. Free coffee too! Great incentives if you are in the inner circle. forge tight relationships with fellow employees even outside of work. Usually located in great cities to live in: Si valley, Austin, TX, Dresden, DE, Singapore. Constant innovation at many levels of organization.

Cons

politics, long hours, average pay, weak incentives if you are not in the loop. Sales guys must not understand how to forecast future sales, and I would say are the biggest component as to why AMD tends to fall behind in technologies and new products.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
