Pros

AMD is fighting hard to gain momentum in the market and to win, requires operational execution, creativity and sheer determination. This creates a fast paced, aggressive and intellectually stimulating work environment.

Cons

Execution is key and you must succeed or will be replaced. Not the place to grow into a position so you must come prepared to compete and win.

Pros

- Great co-workers who are highly competent - Outstanding execution when designers are properly enabled - Fantastic opportunities for learning about design from technical leaders - Flexible work schedule as long as you get your work done

Cons

- Cost-cutting measures aimed at CAD tools at critical times during the project that don't make sense - Disorganization in schedules between different groups that work on the same IC - Competition between groups that work on the same IC - Can become pigeon-holed into a role that you are really good at

Pros

The pay scale is fair and consistent with high tech Benefits are good Many opportunities to innovate and improve The culture is engineering centric The new campus is modern and inviting Austin TX is a good location for single people as well as raising a family

Cons

The culture is engineering centric The new campus design reflect some level of disconnect. Disciplines and groups are physically separated Collaboration across the enterprise is a foreign concept Relatively too much time is spent on looking good particularly at the senior levels Conformity is expected and rewarded even when individualism is sometimes publicly encouraged High level of resistance to change Employee survey results are often used to camouflage leadership gaps Despite all the wishful thinking, beating the competition continues to be an illusive fantasy
