Business Outlook
Pros
You can see what computers will be able to do in 3-7 years. The long-term aspects of developing a CPU roadmap over several years is pretty exciting. You get fast new computers all the time! The Austin and Sunnyvale campuses are very nice with good food and health clubs.
Cons
If you are not that interested in semi-conductors, it can be deadly dull. AMD does a poor job of employee career development. As of this writing, many benefits have been temporarily or permanently taken away and compensation decreased. With the many layoffs, there are so many unfilled roles that people are desparately overworked trying to cover gaps.
