Pros

AMD has decent salary and benefits

Cons

management does not have a clue. Very secretive. Politcal hotbed. Decisions aren't made intelligently. Alot of unqualified people in upper management. Good ol boy structure and heirarchy. Way too top heavy. Back-biting environment. Sexism. 13 -15 hr work day. Brutal sr.. management regarding strategy and decision making. Bad communication-crazy environment-no mission, strategy objectives-obvious lies to employees.

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.
