Pros

There are a lot of smart engineers working at AMD that, given the proper chance, can do great things with limited resources. The work environment is fairly relaxed and flexible.

Cons

Incompetent executives, lack of corporate direction, canceled important projects, removal of benefits, poor health plan (UHC), no bonuses or pay raises.

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.
