Pros

If you are driven , want to learn new things and stretch your responsibility ....you will have plenty of opportunities to do so(mostly because half the company doesn't care or doesn't want or doesn't know how to do the work)

Cons

1) Middle Management is mostly either incompetent or not willing to rock a sinking boat. 2) WAY too top heavy with too many new directors and VPs from outside the company who have no clue about the AMD culture( which was a big plus for AMD for a long time - not anymore) 3) The quality of hires over the last few years ( especially at the management level) has deteriorated to the point that some of the hires are just warm bodies.
