Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, great people to work with, good work/life balance. The people here are great and do not berate you. Vacation time is ample and plus you can always work from home, which is a great way to get work done without being bothered.

Cons

No bonuses or raises since 2006! Senior executives need figure a good business plan so AMD can make some money. AMD's primary competitor is Intel and from I can see so far from the salary ratings, I am being underpaid as a senior design engineer. The main reason for this is probably that AMD is lost billions last year (2007) and so probably did not have any money for 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.
