Pros

The new Lonestar Campus is a very nice location to work at in Austin. Three weeks of vacation and a sabbatical recognition trip after 5 years are also extra perks to work at AMD.

Cons

Lack of focused direction, incompetent managerial decision making. From a top down stand point, the management expects us to blindly adhere to their decisions. When we raise an issue, we get berated and thrown under the bus for not being a "team player". This may not be true of all the organizations within AMD, but it certainly is within my current group. There is not much drive and motivation to be working within our group, as we are seen as the laughing stock within the company, and the management isn't helping in changing that view, what with the current intiatives that we are asked to be working on.
