Pros

The work environment is fairly casual and flexible. The work-life balance is also good. You get a chance to work on leading-edge semiconductor technology. Pay and benefits originally seemed competitive with what was being offered at other companies in the semiconductor industry, although some of that has been scaled back since AMD began its cost-cutting measures in late 2007. Some of those measures were temporary, however. For example, the 10% pay cut that was instituted earlier this year is set to be removed in December 2009.

Cons

Due to AMD's financial difficulties, layoffs are an ever-present concern. It also seemed like they changed their internal organizational structure quite frequently. These changes became confusing and it wasn't really clear to me how they were supposed to impact the business.

Pros

Work life balance is about the ONLY area remaining where things are still OK at AMD. Otherwise there is nothing left for me here other than a decent commute.

Cons

No Innovation. No potential for advancement. Every job is being exported to India while all the competent folks I used to work with were laid off in the technical tracks. Marketing runs the show, and makes stupid decisions based on made up projections for future sales. The "Vision" and "Fusion" campaigns are a laugh, and our customers don't know we exist.
